And many, many centuries later, the Egyptians weren't building pyramids any
more. So can you explain why the Egyptians would be showing anyone else how
to build something that they themselves hadn't bothered with for so long?
Also, the pyramids of America are built in a completely different manner,
and serve a completely different purpose, so can you explain why the
Egyptians would show the Americans how to build something that the Egyptians
themselves had never built? And why the Egyptians would show the Americans
building techniques that the Egyptians themselves never used?

Why? The investigation has already been done, all you have to do is read up
on it. The reports from excavations from both sides of the Atlantic are
there, and if you read up on them you will see that there are no
similarities between the building techniques, nor the writing systems. So
what is there to investigate in that regard?
