Looking around the net, I see Google finds a BBC story about a 7000 year

says the story used to say that. So, I think someone at the BBC got the

old city in Egypt, and....
More likely some subbie at the Beeb read "fifth century BC" as 5th millennium, and added 5000 to 2000. Arts graduates one and all, they are probably proud that they can't do sums.
