   @orekix @nerthos @augustus axum was always not worth it to conquer. the egyptians had a couple thousand years to do it but never really bothered. it wasn't even that axum was particularily poor (they had plenty of gold and shit) but that you can't march into it because the upper nile is a god forsaken wasteland, and you can't send a mediterranean fleet down there. the axumites didn't really need pacifying anyways because they didn't raid.
   
   later on some absolute galaxy brained italians would ignore the egyptians and attempt to colonize ethiopia. it was a complete waste of time.

     to put it shortly, its basically impossible. the nile stops being navigable around the modern egyptian border and there was no suez canal.
