The extension of Egypt into the Middle East did not reach that far as it was halted by the southward move of the Hittites. The inconclusive battle of Megiddo in 1482 BCE, claimed as a victory for Egypt's Thutmose III, nevertheless drew a line beyond which Egypt was unable to establish permanent control of Phoenicia, whose independent city-states continued on for nearly another thousand years until brought under control of the Assyrian, then Persian empires.

∙ 10y agoThey moved into the area of today's Lebanon and western Syria and brought them under control. The fact that the Phoenicians were established in independent city-states meant that unified resistance was not a problem to the Persians. However they did not get as far as the Carthaginian colony of Carthage which remained independent and active until demolished by an expending Rome.

Did Africa invade parts of Egypt and take over before the British making them black pharaohs?
Answer 1First, lets start by stating that Africa did not have to evade Egypt, because they were already there. The founding kings were of African origins. The first kings of Egypt were Africans from Sudan (Kush). The first time that Egypt was unified was during the reign of an African King. You must always remember no matter what anyone says the fact is that if you look at an ancient map of the world you will see what is Africa.Answer 2What the above answer fails to note is that the people of Upper and Lower Egypt were not "typical" Africans in the sense that the term African refers to a person with black skin. The first Pharaohs of Egypt were of the dominant race in Egypt which was a swarthy group of people, similar to modern Arabs, but certainly not "typical" Africans. There were periods in Ancient Egyptian History where Kush (which was an African Kingdom on the modern border between Egypt and Sudan) conquered Egypt (ca. 712-664 B.C.). These Kushitic Rulers (Dynasty 25) were Black Pharaohs. Other than that, the Pharaohs and contemporary rulers of Egypt have been white or swarthy men, but almost no black men.
