A problem with "the Fringe" is that they often try to deny, ignore or ridicule facts proven by Egyptology because these proven facts stand in the way of their fantasy about LC's, lost technologies etc.
There are still many mysteries concerning the AE, but instead of adressing those "the Fringe" try to create new, fake ones.
