As I mentioned before, it is all about historical context, unlike the recent trend for Viking revisionism. To decribe on them as being solidly Xenophobic in the modern fashion is inaccurate. There were periods as we know, ie. the late period when they were under constant threat of invasion, where they were militarised, but for such a huge expanse of time in which Ancient Egypt existed, it's track record by the standards of the day makes them a highly admirable and cultured society in regard to their contemporaries. The exact opposite of Rome, the aggressive machine and cultural magpie.
