Elias, Assyria as an empire rose up after Ancient Egypt and Nubia, stop making false claims and pick up a history book or get a history lesson. There is however, evidence of Egyptians influencing Assyrian art.

There...evidence of Egyptians influencing Assyrian art. In 609 BC Necho rushed north to assist his former rivals, the Assyrians. His army would have to march through Judah if he were to engage the Babylonians. Judah's King Josiah decided to block the Egyptian advance even though Necho sent him a message that he only wanted to pass through the land and did not intend to attack Judah. Nevertheless, in the summer of 609 BC, on the plain of Mediggo, Josiah's troops attacked the Egyptian forces and were decisively defeated. Josiah was killed in this battle. When the Egyptians arrived at the former Hittite capitol Carchemish on the west bank of the Euphrates, they were joined by the Assyrians and marched on Harran where they were soundly defeated and driven back to Carchemish. The following year the Egyptians and the Assyrians once again attacked the Babylonians, who were now led by Nebuchadnezzar II, the son of king Nabopolassar. At the battle of Carchemish the Babylonians gained a decisive victory in 605 BC and the remnants of the Egyptian army withdrew back into Philistia and Judah. On the return trip Necho set up a puppet king (Jehoiakim) who was loyal to Egypt. |

I have a great deal of respect for the Egyptians. They were, after all, our last ally, during the imperial period: |
