Score: Egypt 141
Carthage 127
I have 6 cities and 5 turns left to find currency.
Here's my area at 1000BC:
From this point on I keep expanding, building barracks on home isle, and start a swords man hoard and a number of galleys. After currency (which I traded for tech from Egypt), I headed for Monarchy.
170BC Discover Monarchy and revolt (I have 18 cities on 4 islands, Egypt has 8)
Researching at a fast pace now, trying to get to Navigation as quick as possible.
370AD I invade egypt on the west isle, taking Alexandria and destroying the other city (forgot name).
380AD Take Elephantine at north of main isle after losing 2 swords
390AD Egypt landed 2 charriots on my southern isle, I take them both out denying them a golden age. One is taken with a NuMerc starting my golden age.
400AD Continue working on Egypt for the next 8 or 9 turns, taking the whole main island
410AD Make peace getting Byblos (their south isle) and remaining gold. All thats left is Pi-Ramases on east isle.
540AD Take Pi-Ramases finishing off Egypt, and still have 5 turns of golden age left
Start sending a few galleys in all directions, Astronomy is due to be done around 650AD so no more for now. One more pic of my area at 580ad (slightly edited for suicide galleys).
You have got to teach me your research tricks. I am doing well, even 10th twice in the QSC, but your results blow me out of the water!
Of course, they are promptly captured.
They are polite, 37g, 5 cities. They have Bronze Working, Wheel, Warrior, C. Burial, (and I soon discovered they had Mysticism and HorseRiding as well). 
Thebes falls and Cleo with it.
