Did the Egyptians really have no contact with the Olmecs or is that just what we're told?

Honestly this is something I keep coming back to. The pyramidal structures on both sides of the Atlantic have always bugged me, like it seems too much of a coincidence but i know thats not actual evidence of contact.

What gets me more is the calendar stuff and certain burial practices. Two completely separate civilisations landing on similar ideas about time and death feels significant somehow.

I'm no expert by any stretch, I mostly do ghost hunting locally here in West Virginia, but i've read enough to know that mainstream archaeology tends to dismiss the contact theory pretty fast without much real debate. Could just be genuine independent development but the speed at which they shut the conversation down makes you wonder.

Anyone here looked into the reed boat experiments? Thor Heyerdahl showed the crossing was physically possible. That doesn't prove the Egyptians did it but it removes the "impossible" argument at least.

Would be curious what others think, especially if anyone has come across physical evidence that doesnt get much attention in the standard literature.
