Same-sex marriage in Iowa

Technically, when the state doesn't care one way or another, I'd struggle to call it a secular marriage. I mean, it's not necessarily a religious marriage (although the party might count as a stretch), but we're dealing with state-sanctioned unions in this discussion and that certainly wasn't.

Also, Egypt DID conquer different people, like the Jews. Just not on the level of Rome. Also, they DID conquer Lower Egypt, Kush, Canaan, Cyprus, and Syria, and otherwise were conquered by or had contact with Palestine, the Assyrians, the Persians, the Nubians, and the Romans. They weren't as isolated as you seem to think.

Edit: Oh, and Libya.
