Ancient Egypt survives to modern day

Okay this is my first thread, so please help me out on this one. Im thinking that instead of the Upper Egyptian Kingdom dosen't conquor Lower Egypt. So when the Perisa, Greece, Rome, Muslims, and England conquor them that the Upper Kingdom will be able to hold out and stay a separate kingdom. Thats the idea and also I can't find any good ancient egyptian websites about their history from ancient till modern times if any one knows a good website please post it.

Unlikely, if the other empires conquered one then they would try to get the other, unless the other was dirt poor...
 
If someone conquer the upper nile, the lower nile is conquered by another power.

They're many exemples.
Division between hyksos and nubians
Division between assyrians and kushites

The fact his the ancient egyptian civilization really emerges as a superpower because the country was united. The first egyptians texts we have talks about the unification.

If you search about a surviving Egyptian power, i would search a more recent PoD, with the failure to Persia to make a giant empire, making a surviving, but with hellenic influencies, Saite Egypt; with a second PoD leading Rome to never ever emerges as a mediterranean power, at least not eastern one.
 
How about an alliance between Egypt, Ethiopiea, and Jerusalem against the Assyrians and later the Persians?

Ethiopia didn't exist until the fall of nubian kingdoms, in the very late antiquity.

Jerusalem is not a power and even not a state who could serve in an alliance, not until the kingdoms of Israel and Juda, and they're quite secondary states in the middle-east

Persia : an alliance against who? And an alliance with Perisa is dangerous, but not unrealistic, you must find a common ennemy. And the greeks were quite welcomed in Saite Egypt, so i don't think that the greeks could be this ennemy.

I think he meant against Persia later.
 
would there be any possible way for the greeks and egyptians fight off persia together as to establish a bigger and independant egyptian kingdom?

-Persia didn't invade Egypt but make the kingdom tributary
-Persia invade all Anatolia and the greek cities of Asia and the history goes as OTL
-The macedonian or whatever people who gain leadership in Greece search an alliance with Egyptians
-Egyptians manage to gain Palestine in the war.

Saite Egypt could have more or less the same role of Ptolemaic one, but could avoid Roman annexation if the macedonians-like manage to keep a powerful kingdom and force Rome to expand only in the western Mediterranea.
 
Battle of Ipsus 301 BC the combined armies of Seleucus and Lysimachus defeated Antigonus. With his death perished the idea of uniting the Macedonian empire under a single ruler. What if he survived and defeated Seleucus and Lysimachus, prompting the other Macedionian and Greek generals to join Antigonus and form an eastern mediterranean power to oppose Rome.
