The Curse of King Tut?
Ezekiel 30:26 (KJV)
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Years ago I read an article that said DNA testing had discovered that the people of the British Isles were more closely related to the mummies of Egypt than the current population of Egypt.[1] I do not recall if the article gave an explanation but I do recall that in my head I imagined it referencing the “Fair Haired Anglo’s” on England. I suppose, upon further consideration that might not be the case.
Perhaps the article was a reference to the large number of Middle Eastern people now living in the U.K.
Maybe the reason for the Egyptian DNA has to do with Roman immigration to England after the Romans had so famously interacted with Egyptians.
But perhaps it is in fulfillment to this judgment of God and others like it in the Bible.
Could God have scattered the Egyptians so dramatically that the Land of the Nile was left available for others to settle and claim as their own?

It is known that the ancient Egyptians were hit heavily by both small pox and venereal disease to the point that it may have caused their civilization to nearly disappear. The Roman Empire was also hit with these two diseases later. Anyone fled the plagues who was able so disease may be one substantiation of your theory
