I know #2 wasn't unique to Egypt but it did uniquely become a legendary part of western lore during the EB time frame, as for the 4th I don't suggest that Cyrene was part of the KH but it was a major power which allied to the Selucids, and above all else the point is to make Egypt's position give a bit more of it's historical rewards and difficulties.

@ Ludens that does make more sense, although I did wonder about the rejection of Cyrene as a faction when I just recently read about it, is the rejection final because having Cyrene would be the ideal solution?

@ Cute Wolf

If it could work perhaps it should since the Ptolemy and Selucid Dynasty could very often get desertions from the other
