Based on other posts you've made, I know the spirit you're posting this in.
I don't get your seeming hatred for science and the scientific method. Do you believe that when scientists discover that a previous hypothesis or theory is incorrect, that the scientific method has failed? It's actually how it's supposed to work, you know.

That and the article in the OP is completely wrong. The only people who thought the Egyptian civilization started 5000 years ago are creationists, and only because it couldn't have started any earlier for them, what with the universe being created 6000 years ago.

What in the article that Tooblue posted led you to this conclusion? IMO, this article is simply too poorly written to allow anyone to reach any sort of conclusion as to what the guy is talking about. It appears that they found some paleolithic rock art that is much older than they have found in Egypt before. Is this the Egyptian 'civilization?' Hard to say. But what's the point you guys are arguing here? I can't see that this poor piece of journalism really helps anyone.

Since tooblue's point is premised on this highly misleading title he fails to make his point. We do know with a fair degree of precision the age of the Egyptian culture depicted in the OT. What a curious belief for a devout Mormon--there's no such thing as truth. It's nonsense.
