It has not been possible to measure the speed of light since 1986 or earlier;

I think that you did not pay enough attention to my "since" above.


It made little sense. are you saying the egyptians knew the speed of light,


No, I'm not saying that. But the Egyptians have always been on the fringe of Western scientific culture, so they would have known the speed of light soon after we did.


Which 'Egyptians' are you talking about? The time of Tutankhamen? The
pyramid builders? Cleopatra and the Greeks? Nasser? The Muslim Brotherhood?
