Oh absolutely, I agree. That was definitely on my mind as I was writing my comment--because, yeah, obviously Judaism existed at the time I was talking about, so if you take the quote I pulled from the Tumblr thread at face value, then you'd have to conclude that Judaism was somehow to blame for Egyptians from different politico-religious factions wrecking each other's stuff? The whole "Abrahamic faiths did it" framing flattens the nuance so much and conflates so many disparate worldviews and time periods that nothing makes sense anymore. And it just gets worse the more layers you try to peel off it.
