The final major battle of the roman republic, took place at Apulia in the boot of Italy as Octavian and Agrippa were gathering there forces for an invasion of he East, they were suddenly blindsided by a surprise attack from Anthony, Cleopatra and their allied Vassal kings and although the battle would end up a Pyrrhic one for Anthony as he would lose many Ships and allied kings, it would still be more expensive for Octavian, whom even with the people of Italy on his side would suffer heavier loses and lose his trusted friend and general, Agrippa. This blow would be so great to Octavian that he would never again attempt an invasion of Greece.
In the wake of this stunning victory Anthony and Cleopatra would go on to consolidated their reign over the East and making the Eastern Roman Empire and Egypt as a new Greco-Roman Kingdom with Egyptian influences. In theory there were 2 Empires in Union a Greco-Roman one and a Greco-Egyptian one, with the 3 vassal kingdoms of Armenia, Syria and Cyrenaicia under the Egyptian Empire and the vassal states of Nabatea, Small Caucasian states, the Bosporous, Judea and other Canaanite realms under the Roman one. This is a shaky foundation but under Cleopatra and Anthony the Union remained peaceful, having a unified government under their marriage, but after the deaths of Anthony in 27BC and then Cleopatra in 31AD, the cracks were already starting to show as the successor to the Union, Caesarion was not only famous for his extravagance but already old and weak, lasting for only another 4 years before passing the throne over to his grand son Anthony II, Skipping an entire generation in the succession and breeding salacious rumors of an incestuous affair between the grand father and son.
This would give cause to the various kings of the Vassal Egyptian Kingdoms to attempt to increase their powers and take the Title of Pharaoh and King of kings for themselves. The first of these to try their luck would be Ptolemy I of Cyrenaicia, who would justify an invasion of Libya with the proclamations of the Donation of Alexandria but would end up soundly defeated by the armies of Western Rome, being driven all the way to Cyrenaicia and forced to call upon Anthony II for reinforcements but even this would not prove sufficient to drive back the Romans, eager for expansion and revenge. The Romans were only placated when the Pharaoh Anthony II agreed upon a yearly tribute of 6000 pounds of Gold and the head of Ptolemy I of Cyrenaicia in exchange for a full retreat from Cyrenaicia. This agreement was pressured on the Roman side by rumors of machinations against the emperor from Rome and would have the side effect of Cyrenaicia being fully annexed by the Pharaoh.
This humiliating agreement further emboldened the enemies of the Pharaoh, including his father named Caesar who began plotting to depose his own son, riling up and arming a mob to attack Anthony II as he entered the capital of Alexandria. The attempt failed and the city was badly burnt and in the end the father of the Pharaoh was blinded and sent to live in exile in lower Nubia and of although this event only served to worsen his reputation among the people, to his competition it showed them that he would not be a push over.
Anthony II would manage to barely keep in check the more independently minded vassals of his, especially Sneferu I of Syria and Cilicia, his uncle named after an Old kingdom pharaoh as a result of his Grandmother's increased connection with the Native Egyptian peoples. Sneferu would loom his influence over the Levantine vassals of the Eastern Roman Empire, snatching the decapolis with the excuse that it wasn't integrated into the ERE and supporting anti roman factions, this would have the result of causing the Great Jewish revolt to occur earlier in about the year 54AD and then refusing to either stop the revolt or let ERE forces to pass through his lands, this would lead to an unsuccessful naval invasion of Judea by the ERE and a Jewish anarchy over Judea as the various factions of the revolt started fighting each other and in all this Chaos the ERE would declare war on Sneferu. Sneferu called on his allies of Armenia and Egypt but only Armenia responded and they managed to stop the Forces of the ERE at the mountainous passes of Cilicia but that would not be the end as the armies of the ERE then focused on Egyptian Armenia, capturing most of its Western territories and then swinging around to Syria, defeating Sneferu and appointing a local Jewish ally as King and replacing the Armenian monarch with one of his sons, Soter I of Armenia. By this time the Jewish revolt had crystallized into a small state and the ERE would spend a campaign of a decade destroying it and reabsorbing it as a vassal.
While all the above were going on in the East, in Egypt Anthony II a thoroughly Egyptized pharaoh thanks to the Influence of his Great-Grand Mother, would decide to lead a campaign to the south into Nubia in part to regain prestige and in part due to his growing fascination with the Nile which he would pass on to his successors. His 1st and 2nd campaigns would see him manage to expand his Empire to the 3rd cataract of the Nile, at this point he would declare victory and sign a peace treaty with the Kingdom of Kush and after returning to the praise of the people and with plunder, he would start planning another campaign to the coast of the Red sea and the Blemmyae.
Back at the East with the Defeat of the other 2 Egyptian kingdoms, Anthony II requested that the ERE is allowed to keep Cilicia if the remove their appointed head to the crown of Syria to be replaced by an Egyptian monarch and the restoration of most of the captured Armenians lands. This of course lead to a war between the ERE and the Pharoah but wit things looking bad for Egypt but luckily for them these conflicts did not exist in a vacuum and the Parthians, seeing their chance invaded Armenia and from Armenia into Anatolia, forcing the ERE to reroute their forces to defend their holdings. This 3 way war would end with the Egyptian takeover of Judea, the restoration of Syria as a puppet of Egypt, the permanent loss of Cilicia to the ERE and Armenia being made a Parthian puppet.
Anthony II would be unable to launch his Red sea campaign but would write it down and store it in his personal library, unable to pull troops out of the Levant.
Anthony II is succeeded by Ptolemy I Antigonous I who would manage to bridge the Gap with the ERE and come to an agreement to reclaim Armenia from the Parthians, restore an Egyptian dynasty and give up large portions of the Caucasus to the ERE. The Campaign would be mostly successful and Mesopotamia would be claimed as the province of Babylonia by the ERE, after this the front with the Parthians would be left mostly to the ERE as Ptolemy I Antigonous I returned to Egypt to fulfill his father's wish of a conquest of the Blemmyae.
During the Occupation of Mesopotamia the ERE would spread anti Parthian propaganda, promoting Greek and pre-Persian Sumerian and Amorite identity, while this would be nowhere as successful as hoped, it would start a trend of disassociating Mesopotamia from Iran. Once the Parthians were done with their own internal disputes they would start a Campaign against the ERE that would push them from lower and mid-mesopotamia, pushing them to the modern day northern Iraq and forcing the kingdom of Syria to intervene, with them managing to keep the frontiers at about modern North Eastern Iraq. Down south in Egypt, the Blemmyae have been defeated and Incorporated into the Egyptians Empire, bringing the borders of Egypt to border Askum.
The Egyptian Empire would keeps its treaty with Kush but attempts at expanding into the Eastern Desert would lead to Skirmishes, seeing the Writing on the wall, the Kandake queen regent of Kush would offer her hand in marriage to the new Pharoah Alexander I Thutmoses I to unify their kingdoms and for the adoption of her Daughter by her late husband, both of Which were accepted and followed by the Swift assimilation of the Eastern Desert.
In the Caucasus the Egyptian Dynasty of Armenia would Experience a resurgence and Golden Age, successfully campaigning against the Parthians to gain control of the Eastern Caucasus all the way to the Capsian and lake Urmia, while the ERE was distracted by Barbarian and WRE invasions to the East. This Eastern Armenian Expansion would lead to the replacement of the Parthians by a Persian dynasty which seems to have been influenced by ERE propaganda, declaring themselves not only the successor to the Achaemenid Persians but to the Medes as well but with this instability it would allow the ERE and Syria to solve their other issues and invade into Mesopotamia forming the Romano-Syriac condominium of Babylonia but this would mean a weak and often self contradictory puppet in Mesopotamia.
Back in Egypt see a continuous and partially religious expansion down the Nile with each new Pharaoh launching a new Campaign south of the Nile like a sort of rite of passage until by 266AD they reached the Sahel region and by 276AD adventurous Egyptians managed to take over an Oasis town in the Sahel. Back in Alexandria the gradual rise of Christianity even against periodic persecutions has now seen the Christians attain some significant power and after the conversion of one of the Pharaoh's advisors to this new religion, he would manage while keeping his conversion secret to allow the Christians to not be force to worship the Pharaoh or other Gods as long as they add prayers for the well being of the Empire and the Pharaoh into their rites.
The 2nd Egyptian Occupation of Mesopotamia would end in part due to the inability for the ERE and Syria to work together as their disorganized forces were swept away by the Medes and Persians, but this time they would also face some resistance from the locals many of which had started calling the Elamites as an insult, but this would do little to stop their reconquest and for this harsh punishments would be placed on Mesopotamia and Christians within the Empire of the Medes and Persians as it would seem they were disproportionally represented in the populations that reviled the reconquest, probably fearing persecution which their resistance all but ensured.
The Egypto-Askum war of the early 3rd Century is an even that grew out of the lack of much promise with the southward expansion into the Nile and the rise of Christianity eroding the religious justification for focusing on the Nile but with the Empire now built on constant expansion, started attempting to claim ownership over badly defined frontier territories with the Askumites, this would lead to the Egypto-Askum which would see the Mighty Egyptian Empire wrestle the Coasts from Askum but be unable to conquer them fully in the Ethiopian highlands which would lead to constant raids from the Askumites from the highlands. With the conclusion of the 1st Egypto-Askum war, the Egyptians would move a large garrison to Ethiopia due to the constant raids and eventually start building a large Navy for a better supply chain through the red sea. This would scare the states of Yemen of Himyar and Hadramut which would stage a unified invasion of Egyptian Ethiopia burning down the ship present and driving the Egyptian garrison inland, but thankfully for the Egyptians, their garrison would survive walled up in Askumite cities, some ships would survive to deliver the bad news to the Pharaoh and the Majority of the Fleet was docked at the Gulf of Suez and in 9 months the Pharaoh would arrange the grand army of Egyptians, Greeks, Arabs, Romans, Nabateans, Syrians, Bedouin, Libyans, Nubians and even turn coat Ethiopians, with the first and largest contingents arriving in 2 months as a Joint naval and land army and with the arrival of the pharaoh and 4 other contingents over 9 months and a 7 year campaign Yemen was completely subjugated and added to the empire while a puppet Askumite Kingdom is established in the Ethiopian lowlands. With most of the Askumites not recorgnising this puppet king and the harsh conditions of the highlands making it difficult to retain a sedintary life style the Akumites broke down into allied clans and principalities, although with the official royal line still well known and monitored. To consolidate this Victory the Egyptians would move East to Somalia and the cities of the region and influence them into coming under Egyptian Control as the Protectorate of Punt, with the Somali cities that were the most troublesome having their Tyrants and ruling class replaced by loyal Arabians and the whole region being under the domain of the Governour of Punt. These great victories would reinsert a sense of justification to Egyptian Expansion, especially as it once again faces to the Nile as robust trade opens with the Sao and Nok peoples through the Oasis town of Tashi situated in the Sahel, this in turn lead to a focus not only on the Nile but on the Sahel region as well. This trade would quickly cause many of the Sao to form small confederations and alliances that would later morph into states.
Back to the Caucasus the Year is 329AD and the Armenians have managed to Unify most of the lower Caucasus and declared their state religion as Christianity, with the Syrians following in step as well as incorporating Palestine and establishing a vassal Bedouin kingdom between them and the Medes and Persians, whom hearing news of the official conversion of its two closest enemies began persecuting Christians, seeing them as a potential fifth column but apart from this, they were also undergoing an internal overhaul of their government system that ended up with the replacement of their ruling dynasty and system of of Continuation with a much more Comprehensive and stable system, while the ERE is focused on internal dynastic issues and civil wars. In the WRE and the Kingdom of Mauritania absorbed into the Empire proper in part as a side effect of the Military Anarchy period which also saw Libya lost Garamatian raids against and the province converted into a Garamantine state from where raids are launched into Mauritania and Egypt for over a decade now, with frontier security being able to do less and less to stop them so that in the year 332AD the Pharaoh Ptolemy VII Anthony V Alexander IX invaded and swiftly Subjugated Libya all the way to the borders of modern Tunisia as an Egyptian province with the WRE being able to do little to stop it and still receiving sufficient grain from Carthage to not mind it too much, but of course the Garamantes would not just lay down and take subjugation, with the Egyptians having to fight them, establish vassal tribes and even import loyal Arabs and Bedouin from parts of their empire to replace the desert dwellers and as this was going on, the war between Syria and Armenia against Medes and Persia as both powers began growing restless first started with a Median offensive, sacking Syrian cities all the way to Antioch, followed on by an Armenian offensive deep into the Iranian plateau sacking cities in the Persian homeland. The wars between these powers would go on like this until in about the year 360AD the Huns arrived in force.
With the Conversion of the Egyptians to Christianity, further expansion down the Nile lost its religious justification and lesser, the mountains of the moon as the source of the Nile already being identified, though not conquered and lesser resources discovered with each successive expansion all seemed to conspire to finally put an end to their southward expansion down the Nile but three recent events would turn this around, first was delegation of the far south to private companies and guilds, as taxes and other regulations here were not only lesser but the ability and urge for the government to enforce these lesser restrictions, low as well. Secondly is the development of better agricultural techniques that allowed the arable lands to extend far from the Nile, a development very important for lands out of the core Egyptian lands in Kush and the Sudan and in all the Nile basin region, allowing both the population and effective land area of the Empire to boom without adding new territory and this new population both requiring more lands and able to use harsher lands that would have been inaccessible to their ancestors and finally the discovery of and establishment of the trade of precious stones and metals, from Gold to Quartzes to Diamonds to Beryls, down the Nile in the Great rift. All these socio-economic factors conspired to ensure that not only would the push south continue, it would be headed by private citizens and companies and unfortunately also be much more exploitative and inhumane
The first victims of the Huns would be the Goths and the Germans who were so devastated that the Visigoths would force their way into a disorganized ERE only to be force to Migrate east into the WRE by the Huns who wouldn't allow them escape, the ravaging goths would be at first mostly ignored as tensions were rising in North Africa with the Egyptian taking of Carthage and the WRE declaring war and preparing to invade North Africa but while moving troops south to Africa, the Goths would defeat the small force sent to stop them and sack Rome and from there retreat into southern Gaul, this PR nightmare would force the emperor to Ignore North Africa and instead go searching for the Goths to force them into a battle which would end as an imperial victory but the Goths would manage to retreat with little damage done. After amassing their forces for a war to keep Libya but seeing no Roman army in sight the Egyptians would launch an invasion of and quickly capture Sicily forcing the Roman Emperor's army to and enter to agreements with the Goths to see them resettled in a similar agreement as with the Burgundians, in the Aquitaine and without demiltralizing them. The Emperor would then once again turn his troops towards Italy to face the Egyptians, giving the Huns leeway to strike deep into Gaul and engage and defeat the Emperor from behind on the Alps in a defeat so bad that they Huns didn't believe they were actually fighting the imperial forces, following which they ravaged Italy and sacked Rome in 406AD. This would lead to orders for the compilation of all Legionaries and Auxiliaries from all over the Empire, with orders for a Southern army of the Italian and Hispanic legionaries along with their Gothic, Burgundian and other Germanic allies and a Northern army of British and Gaullic forces joined by Celtic and Frankish Auxiliaries, with both armies amassing in Central Gaul and moving through the Danube against the Huns. The Hun leadership would hear of this fro Gothic and Germanic spies act to avoid the gathering of these forces by first attacking and defeating the imperial army and its Burgundian and Visigothic allies, before they can be reinforced by the Hispanic legions and other German allies. This would be very successful, ending with the death of the Emperor and then moving North to defeat Northern Coalition of Franks, British and Gaulic Legionaries, using the news of the Emperor's death and their sacking of Rome to discourage them, a tactic that would prove successful. With the Allied forces breaking after minimal fighting and the British legions returning to Britain after aiding the Gauls push back the Franks into Germania, after which the British returned to their Isles and the Gauls proclaimed their Commander, Imperator in Northern Gaul. With this the Hispanic legions don't even get to leave Hispania as the province is over run by fleeing Barbarians that form their own states there, but the Hispanic legions would manage to keep control of part the province of Tarraconesis, where many of the Roman elites of Iberia ran to for protection, with all their wealth.
The Egyptians are now in full control of Sicily and all grain shipments to Rome, would at first send a large free shipment of Grain to Rome and after this use this their control over Rome's food supply to generate income, they would also subjugate Mauritania and establish Mauritanian Kingdom but this time under an Egyptian Dynasty. The new Emperor of Rome, highly disillusioned as he was Praetor prefect of the last Emperor and was as such present at the Massacre that claimed the previous Emperor would then put all his effort into protecting the Italian homeland, as well as promoting Agricultural reforms, by ending the grain dole and deporting City Romans to the now depopulated Countryside.
The Hunnic Realm was vast and after they were done with the WRE with little left to plunder, they turned their sights to the Caucasus and the Middle East meeting an exhausted Syria, Armenian and Medes and Persia, quickly destroying the Armenian state in a surprise attack as the Armenian monarch was out campaigning in Iran, then defeating the tired Armenian army as it was forced marched home, the Huns smelling easy victory would quickly break into smaller but effective war bands, sacking deep into Syria and Persia. This Chaotic period of the Middle East was called the Hunnic Interregnum and it left the region so weak that the Egyptians were able to just march in there and easily defeat the dispersed Huns, incorporating Syria, Judea, Cilicia and Armenia into their Empire and pushing the Huns further east into Medes and Persia while Babylonia and Aramea were established as independent allies, not vassals as these regions have historically proven hard to incorporate and the bordering regions of Armenia and Syria now lacking the required infrastructure to hold such far away regions and requiring consolidation themselves.
The ERE fearing the the recent and expansion of Egypt into the middle east almost immediately incited a revolt in Armenia and invaded into Cilicia and Manzikert in order to quickly dislodge the Egyptians fro the middle east before they could consolidate and be able to deal several powerful defeats on the unprepared Egyptian Armies. This was under the reign of Pharaoh Ptolemy the Romanoi slayer who instead of moving to intercept the ERE invasion, ordered his Syriac forces to retreat or move to support the Armenian forces while he amassed his Mediterranean and Red sea fleets together through the recently completed Sinai canal to attack the Greek islands and Peninsula, also landing troops on the western Anatolian Coast, all moving towards the various capitals of the ERE from Thebes to Nicaea to Byzantium and the troops that landed on Anatolia carefully watching to defend from a potential return of the ERE forces invading the Middle East. With the aid of their Black Sea fleet, they would capture Western Anatolia and when the ERE army invading the Middle East heard of this, they proclaimed their Commander Emperor and moved to recapture eastern Anatolia. They would be defeated in a pincer attack in the middle of the peninsula from the West, North and South, in a slaughter that got Ptolemy the Romanoi slayer his epithet. With his victory most of the survivors were deported to Egypt and many ERE soldiers were replaced with Egyptian soldiers, to remove the hostile fighting force and similarly with the Armenians. These hostile foreign soldiers would be broken up and inserted into Egyptian camps and garrisons, with many shipped to Somalia and South Arabia, here they were watched by the outnumbering Egyptian legions and the most uncooperative of the Roman Greeks and Armenians were slain or converted into Pharaohnic slaves, which upon being associated with the Pharaoh, in practice they were the worst treated to slaves and servants. The ERE would be separated into various vassal kingdoms after this.
The Third Egypto-Askumite war, named that way to cover up the embarrassment of how costly this Somali-Arabian Revolt was started soon after the above conflict with the ERE as Ptolemy the Romanoi slayer died to be replaced by his cousin JohnPaul the pious, the most heavily Christianized Pharaoh yet as South Arabia and Punt/Somalia were embroiled in revolt, with all pro Egyptian forces driven from Somalia and those still in Arabia held up in fortress cities. Johnpaul would send an escort fleet to Arabia but they would be unable to dock as all harbors had been taken by the rebels, they would be forced to retreat and in about 2 months time the Grand Navy of the Pharaoh would return but instead of attempting to contest a landing against the rebels, they would land far North and trek the rest of the journey to South Arabia but the locals who seemed friendly at first turned out to be allies to the rebels, attacking in the night as the Army rested and even assassinated the Pharaoh. The town where this happened would not go unpunished and after gathering the scattered Egyptian forces, the Vizier would lead the rest of the campaign, destroying the town and all its inhabitants and establishing a scourched earth campaign and with the Navy shadowing their ground forces, they would migrate slowly south to their Yemenite territories and quickly relieve the pro Egyptians held up in cities. The rebels would just as quickly be driven into the desert but due to their continued raids the Vizier Kekmosis, against the advice of his generals and advisors would stay in Arabia for 8 years to utterly extinguish all remnants of the rebellion and repay the traitorous Arabians by conquering all of the Hejaz and launching campaigns into the Arabian desert, as if to conquer the entire peninsula. During this campaign, Kekmosis would also install his daughter as his representative back in Egypt .Somalia was ignored for all this time and the generals and advisors of Kekmosis feared that they would have used this time to establish a strong country but to their surprise and relief, as the forces that started the rebellion were not unified, without the Egyptians to fight they fell into civil war and could barely put up a significant resistance even some important cities turned traitor in order to win against the other Somali cities in their civil war, such as Oponi which opened its gates to the Egyptians and served as their leeway back into Somalia, the rest of the region soon fell and the province of Punt was divided into 3 vassal states ruled by loyal Arabians imported from Yemen and 3 imperial province ruled by military governours, described by the map. Inner Somalia would not be recovered truly but the disorganized groups there would be pacified and since they still allowed the free flow of trade, they were not much of a problem, allowing the home sick Vizier to return home. With the return of Kekmosis he would install his family as Viziers to the new Pharaoh, while he reigned as regent. The Pharaoh was elected from the Ptolemaic-Kushite Pharaohnic family as a child and as such Kekmosis retained control of the government and during this time he would promote the traditional Egyptian religion and priesthoods that has been waning for generations. During this period Sarapion would fall to Bantu invaders and be renamed Mogadishu but with the arrival of refugees into punt and the message getting to Egypt, Kekmosis would order its occupation by the Military governour of Malao and Mundus, which would be successful but the several years of delay that it took for this attack to be ordered and implemented, permanently changed Sarapion to Mogadishu as all the original Kushitic and Somalic peoples had been replaced by Somali Bantus and the surviving refugees were well enough treated that they refused to return to Mogadishu.
After Kekmosis' death the Pharaoh would take the name Pepi, the first of the Ptolemaic-Kushite Pharaohs to take the name of an Old Kingdom Pharaoh, under his reign he would deal with the compensation of the peoples of Nilotics and the reunification of the ERE. First after generations of exploitation, the Nilotic peoples of the lowest points of the Nile that Egypt had expanded into would revolt, slaughtering many private forces, although this was not the first of such revolts against the cooperatism this was by far the most destructive resulting in the death of thousands and an all out war between the unincorporated Nilotes and the Private Egyptians taking advantage of them. This could garner the attention of the Pharaoh who lacking any campaign to his name would lead his army down south, defeating many rebels but rather than continuing this approach and squashing the rebels, he would hold talks with their leaders and establish an agreement with them, granting them the lowest form of citizenship and semi autonomy as well as reestablishing government regulations over the region. Secondly the people of the vassal states of the Balkans and Anatolia, seeing themselves as a semi unified roman whole would revolt but with the arrival of the Pharaoh and the news of how the Nilotes were treated, they would submit for reunification to the Pharaoh and inpart due to Egypt wanting to avoid war unsecure state of the Egyptian Levant, South Caucasus, Arabia, Somalia and South Sudan and not wanting to move troops out of there to squash the Greco-Roman revolt, the rebel leaders would reach a border agreement with the Pharaoh expressed by the Map and the reformed ERE not allowed to take the names Greek or Roman in its official name, while remaining an Egyptian vassal. And like this the Kingdom of Asia and Europe was formed. For these reasons and his prosperous reign he was remembered as Pepi the good, he would also be the 1st Ptolemaic-Kushite Pharaoh to marry his Vizier, the granddaughter of Kekmosis
Pepi the good would be succeeded by his son Pepi II in the year 472AD under whom the controls over the Southern Nile Companies would reduce and allow these private organizations to instigate war with the Kingdom of Kitari to in the Great Rift, Babylonia managed to repel an invasion from Medes and Persia with Egyptian aid. Medes and Persia has been in an almost perpetual state of decline since after the Hunnic Interregnum as soon after dealing with the initial Hun attack, more Huns were pushed towards them fro Syria and Armenia, after which from the East they had to deal with the Yuezhi and the White Huns and with this rebuff of their attempt to retake Babylonia and Aramea, they turned around to once again face the Yuezhi. the Warsangli electorate would be toppled by native Somalis angry by the rule by their combination of Egyptian and Arabian elites, who would succeed in defending themselves from both the military provinces and vassal at all sides, allying with the tribal Somalis and Cushitic peoples, attempted alliances with Socrota have failed but seeing no other source of allies and well informed, they have sent envoys to many nations and those that responded positively are marked red in the map, as the vast resources of Egypt allowed it to gain this much info
The map is a map of all the real states in the world that Egypt knows of and their real sizes not the size that the Egyptians thinks they have and is based off a compilation of all data on geography and cartography available to the libraries of the Egyptian Empire in the Year 490AD
