And once again, Egypt and Kush never conquered areas of the Middle East.

Sure.

Could you back up that information? Come to think of it, there is only putative evidence on record:

Whenever he encountered a courageous enemy who fought valiently for freedom, he erected pillars on the spot inscribed with his own name and country, and a sentence to indicate that by the might of his armed forces he had won the victory; if, however, a town fell easily into his hands without a struggle he made an addition to the inscription on the pillar

-- for not only did he record the same facts as before, but added the picture of a woman's genitals, meaning to show that the people of that town were no braver than women

. ...

Most of the memorial pillars which King Sesostris erected in conquered countries have disappeared, but I have seen some myself in Palestin, with the inscription I mentioned and the drawing of a woman's genitals. In Ionia also there are two images of Sesostris cut on rock, one on the road from Ephesus to Phocaea, the other between Sardis and Smyrna; in each case, the carved figure is nearly seven feet high and represents a man with a spear in his right hand and a bow in his left, and the rest of his equipment to match -- partly Egyptian partly Ethiopian. Across the breast from shoulder to shoulder runs an inscription, cut in the Egyptian sacred script: by the strenght of my shoulders I won this land. - Ancient Historian Herodotus

This (purely historiography) is not my ideal type of source for a claim, though. I'd prefer an actual monument testimony signifying genitals still existed.
