Wasn't Khemet a completely seperate civilization than the Egypt in the same place today? I think it's totally reasonable to differentiate between them. We don't say Mexicans built Chichen Itza

You can make the argument, but then you'd have to fence off at least 6 or 7 different "Egypts". The precise division would depend on what point you're trying to make.

The flip side, though, is that that implies you'd only ever draw the lines to make a point, which would mean the reply here isn't "that's not true", but "So? What are you trying to say?".
