>> Grow some crops? An invading army will come and steal and trample them. > That actually didn't happen the waste majority of cases. It happened in many prominent cases. Egypt, for example, was called "the breadbasket of Rome."

  There's a lot of military conquest in Egyptian history. The Hyksos, the Kushites, the Saites, the Persians, the Ptolemies, and finally the Romans.
