Like Coragyps, I also find it strange the Egyptians, Sumerians, the people of the Indus Valley Civilization, Chinese, and Australian Aborigenes, or for that matter any civilization, who have written and/or oral records dating from the time didn't seem to take notice of these runaway continents.
​
Given that the Egyptians relied on the annual flooding of the Nile for over three thousand years it would certainly take a miracle for the river to maintain both its course and behavior if entire continents were moving as such rates.

The point for you is that rapid uplifts go hand in hand with rapid plate tectonics.

The point for you is that ridiculous scientific claims go hand in hand with ridiculous religious beliefs.

In a post-Flood Mesozoic model we have catastrophic plate tectonics stopping around 2300BC and with e.g. Rohl's (a 'non-fundamentalist') new Egyptian chronology of overlapping dynasties we can have Egypt being settled post-catastrophic tectonics.
​
As far as I'm aware Rohl's new chronology moves all events prior to sacking of Thebes in 664 B.C. forward by around 350 years. Either way, Egyptian civilisation would still have already been over 2000 years old!
​
Not much help for your argument there....

...so in the end it becomes a 550 year correction.
​
Even if it does, and even if Rohl is right, so what? The 550 year difference makes not one jot of difference in the wider scheme of things!
