Is a few decades before the battle of Manzikert too late for Egypt to begin diverging from both the Christian and Islamic world? Egypt doesn't necessarily go full ancient Egypt but perhaps is separate from its neighbors in the same way that the early Malian Empire was different from the greater Islamic community in its own way. They retain elements of both cultures, but elements of their own previous culture begin to reassert themselves and form a kind of blend which is neither their ancient religion and not exactly like the other two either.

At the very least perhaps they form their own unique sect of Islam that is vastly different from the others?
