Kemetic Empire (The Ancient Lives On)

After Egypt got rid of arab rule in 773, it became a strong kemetic state, today known as the Kemetic Empire.

Formation
In the year 773, the Principality Of Egypt, now controlling all of the region of Egypt and more, declared itself to be independent from the arab caliphate. The arabs, now weakened, had to give independence to the egyptian people.

Egypt became ruled by the theban XXXV. dynasty. Since thebans egyptians wanted to preserve the ancient culture, Kemetism became Egypt's official religion. The practice of mummification was also re-revived, after its initial revival in the 2nd century, and its decline during arab rule.

Expeditions
During the 9th century, Egypt would conduct missions across the known world, both to explore new lands and to conquer new territories. One of the most common places for egyptian travelers was India, respectively the region of Kerala. The egyptians first travelled to India in 841, and returned with gold and dravidian slaves. The slaves from India would be used in the egyptian military in wars against arabs and europeans. By the 890s, a stable egyptian colony was formed in Kerela, around the city of Kemetaraiq ("Egyptian city"). The city exists to this day, but has since been assimilated into indian culture and was renamed.

Another place for expeditions of egyptians was Europe, specifically the Balkans and Italy. But unlike in India, most egyptian expeditions into Europe were military ones, and were intended with conquest of new lands. In the 9th century, the egyptians waged war against the byzantines, where they sacked southern Anatolia, and annexed Cyprus. The egyptians also had plans to annex Rome and turn the city into a kemetic one.
