Given Egypt’s 7000 years of history I wouldn’t call something dating a mere 2600 ya as “ancient” :)

I thought Rome conquered Egypt.

The Persians did?

[zeestephen]

I had no idea the Persians conquered Egypt in 525 BC.

Were the Persians still in control when Alexander the Great arrived in Egypt 200 years later?

Wonderful post, as always!

I spent a year in the Sinai as a UN Observer and wandered all over. Didn't see that fortress but found many, many ancient structures. Hard to believe they paid me to be there!
