No doubt the egyption nation was originally made based on the ancient
civilization, taken from civ2.  Egypt is a real problem case because
it's existed for about 5,000 years, and practically none of the city
names would be the same between modern and ancient (3000-1000 BC) city
lists.  I'm not sure what to do except I think having it in the ancient
list is more important.
