the ancient egyptian empire lasted over 3k years

No, not even close. The Egyptian Empire lasted from 1570 to 1069 BC.

The claim comes from John Glubb

No, there are others as I've already mentioned. The Changing World Order by Ray Dalio also arrives at the 250 year number. Cliodynamics and Structural-Demographic Theory suggests cycles of 200-300 years as well.

Why are you selectively choosing to consider only the "new kingdom" part of the whole thing? Overall it's from 3150 BC – 30 BC

I can also reach to whatever conclusion if I decide to ignore what doesn't fit and modify what does to make it fit better. That's wrong...

You don't really know what you're talking about do you? Here, look at this: https://www.worldhistory.org/Egyptian_Empire/

The Egyptian Empire rose during the period of the New Kingdom (c. 1570- c. 1069 BCE)
