Would you guys say that Egypt before the Ptolemaic Empire had a decent military?

How long before the Ptolemaic Empire? They were decent enough in their day, but I don't think nearly as organized until their days under the Ptolemies.

(I was actually referring to the current political situation there for the purpose of this thread) ;)

That's easily done, they only use the name "Egypt" for old times' sake.  ;)

....

"Is it a rebellion?" asked Louis XVI of the count who informed him of the fall of the Bastille.

"No, sire," came the reply. "It is a revolution."  B)

According to a foreign relations expert journalist down here, what we see in egypt and Tunisia is the fall of the Anti-colonistic regimes that were established as nation-savers before more than 40 years ago.

It makes good sence. People who revolt are studied men and they simply want democracy. It's a turning point, similar to a biblical exodus -so as to help my good friend phoenixguard09 understand- !!!

It's like the pharaoh's about to fall *wristles* !

And now Jordanians and Yemenis appear to be following suit. This is the subject of many profitable history books, happening before our very eyes. In places like Libya though, the government hasn't been overthrown, but they have promised a $24 billion investment fund to improve housing. Are we looking at a repeat of the fall of the Soviet bloc?

After playing RTW somewhat again (with advice on low; I couldn't have a siege without listening to the guy talk about siege equipment), the following comes to mind. I think someone should have taken Mubarak to one side and quietly mentioned that "Public order is becoming low here, and without action there may be a riot."

He should then have upgraded his temple.

I went to Egypt on holiday once, some people there offered to swap my sister for two camels. I don't think I'll ever get a better offer in my life than that :(
