“The ancient Upper and Lower settlements along the river Nile were originally occupied by farmers, but later by a colony of kings and warriors who migrated from India. According to the Mahabharata, they originally moved away because Lord Parasurama drove them out, due to their war-like behaviour. In-between India and the Nile was Mesopotamia, yet it was all part of same world empire connected by trade routes and cultural exchanges. And many kings recorded in ancient Sumerian, Egyptian and Indian writings include similar names…”
Indeed, much of ancient Egyptian religious culture was influenced by the earlier Vedic civilisation.
