Let's say that in between the Greek Revolution and the Ottoman-Egyptian war of the early 1830s, Muhammad Ali dies and is succeeded by his son, Ibrahim Pasha. What effects would this have on Egypt and on the Ottoman-Egyptian conflict of the 1830s? IOTL Ibrahim Pasha was more belligerent than his...

After the egypcian revolution of 1919 an agreement is reached, Sudan is considered part of Egypt and they get *de jure* independence but they are still a British dominion de facto, the brits control the Suez Channel and have troops in major cities like OTL Egypt. In 1952 the monarchy is...

What if Jordanian king Hussein suffered the fate of his cousin, Faisal of Iraq, and was toppled by a military coup the same year (1958) that established a republic? Would keeping Suleiman Nabulsi, who pushed for closer ties with Nasserist Egypt, as prime minister (he was removed in 1957 after...

As the title says - what would have happened had Napoleon never invaded Egypt? IOTL, he played a vital role in breaking the power of the Mameluke ruling caste (although the Mamelukes had already been in a state of civil war for nearly 30 years), which enabled Muhammad Ali to seize power and...

The Ottoman Empire was the dominate empire in the Middle East (Besides Iran), that controlled the Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina, and the Caliph. As it's grip on the Balkans and Africa collapsed because of European Powers, it maintained a hold on the Middle East until WWI in the 20th Century...

Marriages between Egyptian and Hittite rulers had always been quite common, although often it was the Hittite king sending his daughters to the Egyptian court. However, Egypt was in somewhat of a unique situation following the death of Tutankhamun. Ankhesenamun, formerly the Great Royal Wife of...

Ramesses II was one of the longest-reigning and most successful pharaohs of the New Kingdom, although accused of exaggerating much of his achievements, he managed to bring Egyptian power to it's peak, defeating the Hittites and Canaanite princes in several campaigns, and inaugurating several...

In 333 BC, once Darius III had been defeated at Issus, it allowed Alexander to concentrate against the Phoenician and Levantine cities. Among those who fought with the Great King Darius III at Issus, was the satrap of Egypt Sabaces. Egypt had only been taken from the 30th dynasty very recently...

For some background, Magas of Cyrene was the son of Berenice I by her first husband, a Macedonian nobleman named Philip, and a Greek king of Cyrene, remarkable considering Cyrene did not have a king since 440 BC, under Arcesilaus IV. After the death of the previous ruler of Cyrene, Ophellas...

Normally when this scenario comes up the people that are talked about the most are Hugronaphor and Ankhmakis, by far the most successful of the rebel "pharaohs" who reigned in Upper Egypt for a few years. However other revolts popped up from time to time, especially as the Ptolemies started to...

In 245 BC, during the Third Syrian War, Ptolemy III had been vastly more successful than any previous Ptolemaic basileus or pharaoh, reaching Babylon even. He was only forced to turn back after a weak inundation and high taxes lead to a revolt by native Egyptians, possibly exacerbated by...

Before you ask, yes, this idea was based off this thread. The what if/challenge is what if Egyptian Dynasty after the Conquests (Either Arab, Coptic, Persian, Turkic, even Nubian or European, Etc) decide to reuse the title of adopting "Pharaoh/Fir'aun" as their Royal Title, and to...

For a bit of background, which I have to provide for relatively obscure PODs, the pharaoh Apries was the fourth king of Egypt of the 26th dynasty, reigning from 589-570 BC, who inherited the throne from his father, continuing to meddle in Judean affairs without success, building temples, and...

Sometime around this era, in the 480s BC, there was yet again another attempt by the Egyptians to win their independence from the hated Persians. Herodotus mentions it being in the last years of Darius I and the early years of Xerxes I, and archaeological and epigraphic evidence supports this...

As it says in the title. What would be the fate of Egypt, the Ptolemaic dynasty, Rome, and the rest of history had the last pharaoh been born as a boy? Let's call him Cleopatros, and say that his personality is mostly the same as his IOTL counterpart. Let's also say that he might get into a feud...

OTL, Egpyt went from 30 BCE to 868 as a province of another power, a far cry from the bronze age powerhouse of yestermillenia. But even pre-roman conquests, Egypt's empire wasn't the largest (even if it was one of the wealthiest.) But the idea of a Bigger Egypt has always fascinated me, and so I...

Let’s say the Syrian manage take the Golan by focusing more on taking strategic position than killing isolated group of soldiers and manage to hold it against Israeli counter attack with Syria not crumbling Egypt remain in the defensive and hold western Sinai the conflict end with a pretty clear...

Technically, they are not near Megiddo, but rather on the road to it, but saying Megiddo rather than the Aruna road might not get as many views or replies. Anyway, the Egyptian army assembled at the border fortress Tjaru and arrived ten days later at the loyal city of Gaza. After one day's rest...

the Egyptian nuclear program was the most surprising and secret program in the world. It started with an energy program in 1984 with the opening of the Alexandria Nuclear Power Plant in 1990 and a secret nuclear test in 1996, then publicly with the nuclear ballistic missile program. In 2002 and...
