Being interested at the moment in the Crusades, I asked myself the question of the possibility of annexation of Egypt by the Latin states of the East. The disunity of the Muslims left the Franks plenty of room to develop but when Shirkuh then his nephew Saladin managed to take control of Egypt...

Supposing that France manages to come out of the Eighteenth Century in a stronger military position and manages to conquer Egypt how would things go? Prior to the Revolution France setup a commission detailing the feasibility of taking Egypt and/or the Levant from the Ottomans. France here...

In December 1969, when Gamal Abdel Nasser visited Moscow to request direct Soviet military involvement in Egypt, he said that if it's necessary to receive Soviet military aid, he is ready to join the Warsaw Pact «even tomorrow». IOTL Soviets sent their anti-air forces to Egypt without any...

Going back to a previous discussion about https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/wi-cleopatra-allied-differently.491386/ and those stating that Octavian wouldn't consider genuinely allying with Cleopatra in the first place. If I remember correctly according to Genevieve Foster in her...

In 1953, much of Monaco's small economy was bought up by the Greek shipping magnate (and future husband of Jackie Kennedy) Aristotle Onassis. Onassis became the owner of the principality's most profitable locales and a third of its land. However, by 1955 the Monacan economy had declined and...

In our timeline, the Ptolemaic Kingdom, a Hellenistic kingdom ruling over Egypt, ruled from 332BCE, just after the death of Alexander the Great, to 30BC with the death of Cleopatra. While the first three kings, all named Ptolemy, can be considered good rulers, the subsequent generations proved...

Hittites survive the bronze age collapse by defeating the sea peoples and subduing the kaskas. Hittites create a near monopoly on iron. They conquer Egypt, Mesopotamia, Caucasus, Levant and Grecce emerging as the strongest power in world

Some people might think it ASB for Pharaohs to rule in Egypt mucho ger than they did OTL, but, one must always remember that the Pharaonic system was in place for 3000 Years- more amount of time than there is between Cleopatra VII and us. So, my question is, what is the longest you could...

Since rice has higher yields than wheat and the Nile provides plenty of floodwater, How would growing rice have on the development of Ancient egyptian civilization?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Acre_(1799) What if the French got lucky - suppose they breach the outer wall early in the siege, before the defenders have time to build a second one - and took Acre in 1799? While the fate of his campaign was sealed the moment the fleet was destroyed at...

Are there any timelines already created about a scenario where Egyptian monotheism prevailed?

What is the latest possible PoD for some form of Egyptian religion to be restored/founded (in Egypt, of course)? It must be an Egyptian religion involving worship of at least one native Egyptian deity IE Ra, Set, Isis, Osiris, etc, not a syncretic religion like Hellenism and not a composite...

I was pondering the idea of how an independent Egypt would develop throughout the 19th century, and the list of monarchs would relatively remain the same up until Abbas II, son of Tewfik Pasha, was removed in favour of the line of his uncle by the British, Hussein Kamel which never would have...

The seeds of the disaster were altogether too clear, but only in retrospect. The early 1950s were a time of hubris, of liberation, when men felt unconstrained to mold and shape Mother Earth to their will, and when the collapse of colonialism and the rise of new nationalism left many regions and...

On October 26, 1954, during a political rally in Alexandria, Gamal Abdel Nasser suffered an assassination attempt by a Muslim Brotherhood member. Had the assassination gone through, and Nasser died, what would be the short, medium and long-term impacts on Egyptian and Middle Eastern history...

Hello Everyone. how are you today? This challenge came to my mind as I was reading the History of Mamluks(Kölemen State/Ed-Devletüt-Türkiyye) of Egypt. I thought what if Mamluks were not as Arabized or held a disdain of Arabs due to their slave status and once came to power tried to Un-Arabize...

Ali Bey al-Kabir was a mamluk who, after steadily accumulating power in Egypt in the 1760s, rebelled against the Ottoman Empire while it was busy fighting the ultimately disastrous (for Constantinople) Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774. Helped by the Russian navy, which destroyed a large Ottoman...

The world is collapsing. Barbarians on all sides send horde after horde slaughtering chariot after chariot. However they have finally been subdued. Yet the kingdom still has a few major issues such as lack of harvest, socio-economic problems, etc. How do you avoid the collapse that occurred in...

Kemetism is a Neopaganism movement that emerged in the 1970s and was a revival of Ancient Egyptian Religion. This is not to be confused with Egyptomania, which was a cultural craze by the Western World after Napoleon's expedition from Egypt and created a new interest in Ancient Egypt. The...

In 1956, a brief war between Egypt, Israel, France, and the United Kingdom occurred over the Egyptian occupation of the Suez Canal. The war ended incredibly quickly due to international dismay. What if this hadn't occurred, what if the USA realized that Egypt wasn't trustworthy and helped the...
