Do you find it curious it took European scientists to uncover Egyptian and ancient near eastern history?

Yeah European blood is unique

Nah it's socioeconomics

Modern day Egyptians simply had no interest in ancient Egyptian ruins because it wasn't Islamic.

its more likely the people who say "the world is ending tomorrow" for the last 2k years simply have no interest in knowing or preserving history

coming back to this because I happened to come across an article by Dr. Donald I. Templer (a now retired psychologist) showing that IQ, patent applications and academic achievement in Muslim countries is not related to the strength of Islam in the culture. in other words they're just dumb

No. They built up on past scholarship & the historiography of the Dar Al Islam. The house of wisdom in Baghdad was ground zero for Egyptology in the post classical era.
