So it's culture was always Greek, including language. Latin was spoken by Roman administrators, and it thought itself as Roman, but it was thoroughly Greek; even the Jewish upper classes spoke Greek, dressed in Greek style, had Greek theatre and had operations to reverse circumcision so they didn't look mutilated at the baths.When the western Roman Empire was taken over by the Germanic and other peoples, the Roman Empire was the Greek-cultured eastern part which survived for another thousand years until Turkish takeover.

The prefix 'pre' means to come before. So in order to predate some thing it must come before the other. The early Egyptian empire (the old kingdom) dates to about 2700 BCE. The Roman empire was forged around 30 BCE. However, there was a Roman republic for sometime before that. Regardless, the Egyptian Empire came into existence long before the Roman.
