Why was it hard to invade ancient Egypt?

Well, it depends on which invasion you're talking about. There were many. The Italians tried, the Crusaders tried, the Romans tried, the French tried, the Muslims tried. But, I bet you're talking about the Romans, as that is most common. It would be best to look up Ancient Egypt in Wikipedia and scroll down to Roman domination. Or you just read the page on Ancient Egypt, in case the Romans were the wrong ones. Do some research, go to different sites and find out the structure and life of Egypt and its people. Learn about Egypt, then you'll have your answer.

By the way, the kind of chromosomal mistake that causes Down Syndrome occurs in many people, but on different chromosomes.
