From _The Discworld Companion_:
`*Tsort.* A desert kingdom on the continent of KLATCH. A neighbour of
DJELIBEYBI and an historical enemy of EPHEBE. Tsort is known for the
silent marshes of the Tsort river [sic] and the GREAT PYRAMIDS... The
ancient city of Tsort was put to torch by, it is thought, the armies of
Ephebe...'
If I'm not very much mistaken, Ephebe is greek. I admit I don't know my
history very well, but I don't think the Greeks ever put Rome to torch (or
destroyed it in any other way). And I can't remember the Pyramids of
(ancient) Rome, either. ;). But yes, Djelibeybi is _also_ egyptian.
