Reading the context of a passage often helps to determine its meaning. Verse 1 of Zechariah 10 refers to the 'latter rain' and so the events recorded in verse 11 have yet to happen.
OpinionZech 10:11, And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
Let's study the Chronology of the verse in question;
first, .......... the river shall dry up.
second, The pride of Assyria shall be brought down.
third, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
The second and the third have already happened, the first did not; therefore my opinion is, Zech 10:11 is a failed prophecy or it hasn't happened yet.
A Scepter is nothing more than a symbol of authority or rule. Egypt is still a country. Therefore, it still holds its scepter.

In Isaiah 19:5 (RSV), the river of Egypt is traditionally identified as the Nile River. The Nile has experienced fluctuations in water levels throughout history due to various factors, but it has never entirely dried up. Historically, the annual flooding of the Nile has been crucial for agriculture in the region.
Isaiah 19:4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. 19:5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
There's no historical record that the river Nile ever dried up.

Esau and Jacob were reconciled in the land of Seir, which was located in the region of Edom. After many years of estrangement, they reunited and made peace with each other.
In the story of Joseph, famine refers to a period of extreme scarcity of food and resources in the land of Egypt and surrounding regions. This famine was foretold by Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh's dream, leading to the implementation of a plan to store food during times of plenty to sustain the population during the crisis.
Thermuthis is a figure from Egyptian mythology who is said to have been a princess of ancient Egypt who saved the infant Moses from the Nile River. This story can be found in various sources, including the Quran and some Jewish texts.
Moses crossing the Red Sea was a miraculous event where God parted the waters for the Israelites to pass through on dry land, while Joshua crossing the Jordan River involved the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant to stop the flow of the river, allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground. The crossings symbolize God's power and presence with the Israelites in their journey to the Promised Land.
