The font makes this scenario a bit hard to read. Off the top of my head, is it really that early for Turkish troops to be raising a ruckus in Egypt? I thought they went into Sudanese and Greek slave-troops until the Ayyubids. That said, a TL where the Turks fulfill their original plans and rule Egypt+Levant and NOT Anatolia is an interesting one. I mean certainly these Mecidids? will challenge the Seljuks.
 
Tomb ''Hmmm care to explain the POD? I'm not too familiar with this point of history.''

Historical Era:Fatimid Caliphate
Point of Divergence:Fatimid Egypt-Nubian Border Garrison Commander Walid rising against Fatimid Caliphate in 1066.

ruckus ''is it really that early for Turkish troops to be raising a ruckus in Egypt?''

Original Turks did not conquer egypt until ottomans
this is correct
but turkish slave soldier factions seizied the egypt several times.

ruckrus ''I mean certainly these Mecidids? will challenge the Seljuks.''

Abbasid Caliph given this names to Malik Walid for liberate of Egypt from evil shiite Fatimids
