People want to believe in something more when it comes to ancient Egypt even if they know it is not reality. To me, it is obviously linked to the beauty and other worldly feel of the ancient Egyptian iconography and art.
If you just had the pyramids in the desert with the entire civilization lost, while impressive there wouldn't be other worldly explanations that sounded palatable. It would obviously just be the engineering of a lost civilization.
It is really a testament to the power of ancient Egyptian art that it can still inspire the imagination to such a degree thousands of years later and across cultures.
