Another question asked in quick succession from me. Now, i want to ask again, what if Phoenicia conquers Egypt and unites it? No, this is not Carthaginian involved, rather Phoenicia WITHOUT Carthage involved in here. Based on this, i have a POD (maybe ASB-ish and might well be not plausible) that instead of estlabishing Carthage, i had Queen Dido when making a journey to Carthage, i had her end up in Egypt, where she tries to make a settlement. She failed to do so but began to make a play for power in there. She allied herself with the Osorkon B in the south and she declared herself Pharaoh. With the help of Trojan exiles led by Aeneas she managed to successfully seize 22nd dynasty, and killed Shoshenq III while Osorkon III ended his rivals Takelot II and Pedubast I (both are allies with Shoshenq III). Now with all she became a Pharaoh, the first one that is descended from Phoenicians. Her lover Aeneas would later invade the 23rd dynasty and become pharaoh in the Upper Egypt. Both later would be married and they have a child which united both lower Egypt and upper Egypt under one person. Dido didn't commit suicide in this universe.
What do you think? I think this POD may not be possible since it looks ASB to me as far as i know but if it did, how it would change the world? I will look for the answers.
