Lord of Random
I decided to take Iggy's style and describe different stereotypes the Egyptians see in others.
First thing first, Egyptians separate themselves into several groups.
Anorians are the citizens of the once great city of Anor. Since the fall of Anorian Egypt they are seen as treacherous and all other Egyptians think they are constantly trying to take over Egypt and enslaving everyone else.
That soldiers ran to the other army!
Anorians will always join your enemies, even if you are the king of Anor.
Deltans, or more commonly known as Lower Egyptians are considered strict and unforgiving. They see only a single way that each thing can be done and have an extreme lack of imagination according to the stereotype.
In order to find the area of the land you are checking you must cover the entire land with pieces of known area and then count them all.
But this is a rectangular area, all you need is the width and height.
No! You must bring the pieces of known area! That is the only right way!
Thebeans, or more commonly known Upper Egyptians are seen as proud but a little over interested in financial success. They are also more interested in the outer deserts than other Egyptians. They are not considered greedy, just over interested in making money in random places.
Have you heard the money I made in that Oasis?
You made money in an Oasis? Impossible, those places are poor and empty!
I made a gold coin! How's that?
How many?
One!
Judeo-Egyptians, who are actually Upper Egyptians who moved to Judea under the order of an older king are considered a little out of touch with reality, and since the king comes from them, Egypt is usually seen like that as well. They are also extremely interested in bureaucracy as that is, as they see, the only way to keep the conquered nations in line.
There was a Canaanite who wanted a building permit.
The one from the coast?
No he came from the southern desert.
The east or west?
The western part, not far from the coast.
He wanted a building permit for a house or a temple?
A workshop.
You know what workshop?
No, he forgot to tell me.
Hehe, he's going to get his workshop brought down.
Another happy costumer, he'll be back next week.
Nubians are seen as the half-witted brothers of the Egyptians. They are seen as stupid and weak, always coming to the king for support in some unimportant battle that they could easily win if they only knew how.
That Nubian southern Nome sent for support against a peasant uprising.
What peasant uprising?
There was a kid who accidently hit a magistrate with a loaf of bread while playing.
Libyans are considered annoying pests, weak but bothersome, like tiny bugs. When they come in large numbers they are seen like a locust plague, it will kill and cause damage, but Egypt will live through it.
A wild Libyan tribe appears
It uses sand throw. It is ineffective.
You use touch. It disappears into the sand.
Kushiites are seen as insane warmongers, who will fight lions to get to a piece of rotten meat. Crazy lunatics who tend to lose because of it.
Where is my food?
That crow stole it!
WE GO TO WAR!
Axumites and other myriad peple of the southern Long Sea are seen as extremely money hungry. They are seen as greedy, materialistic people who will sell their mothers for a single coin.
An Axumite soldiers fights against an Egyptian when suddenly the Egyptian drops a golden coin. The Axumite jumps to the floor to get the coin, while the Egyptian strikes him down. As he is dying the Axumite screams "I made another golden coin today!" The Egyptian looks with confusion and takes the coin back. The Axumite suddenly gets up with his fatal wounds and jumps at the Egyptian. "That's mine!!!@@@##@!!!" before finally dying.
Dakinsans are strange unknown people who bring extremely rare merchandise to Quseir. They are so unknown that the only stereotype about them is that for them the rare merchandise are considered everyday things but the twist is that normal things in Egypt are considered rare for them.
That Dakinsans probably sleeps with his silk robes.
Sleep with them? Why would you sleep in your normal clothes? He probably sleeps with cotton peasant clothes.
The Levantines, or better known in Egypt as Phoenicians, are considered rich beyond anyone's dreams throwing huge sums of money on petty reasons. They are also considered fractured and at war with themselves.
Have you heard of the guy from Tyre that hired assassins to commit suicide?
That's nothing, some guy from Byblos bought twelve elephants to have his workshop most successful.
Why that's more?
He had no competition.
Hyakians and Katanics are the names given to all the people beyond the Levantine league in east and north respectively. They are both seen as bloodthirsty savages who build large empires for no reason other than just seeing blood spill.
A prince of Katan has launched a new war.
Oh? And for what Purpose?
Purpose for Katanics? I guess he liked his enemy's red hue of blood.
The Hyak King went to war.
He needs new red paint already?
