So purely in terms of geographical extent, and again, I emphasize, I wouldn't think of it as an empire like the Roman Empire or the British Empire, but it's an area of influence.
Egypt itself, it should always be stressed, is the perfect country.
So Egypt, bordered naturally by the Mediterranean, by the deserts, by the cataracts to the south of Aswan,
is ideal.
Egypt doesn't need to expand.
It's already perfect, set by the gods.
But to the north, in the reign of Thutmose III, there's areas of influence up to the Euphrates.
So it's a big stretch of up into what is now modern Syria and Iraq, to the south, deep into what is now Sudan.
To the west, of course, there's Libya.
And we'll come back to Libya because Ramesses really makes a point of that as well.
And so these are the kind of the natural extents of...
ancient Egyptian exploitation.
So they want stuff.
They're not interested really in everyone believing in the Egyptian way of life.
Yes, there are elite key people that pay homage to the king and send tribute, but they want stuff.
They want materials.
They want gold.
They want access to metals, to exotic products, to people.
There's exploitation of people, of course.
There are enslaved people in all of this.
