    Aren't they one of only two empires that was formed into a narrow line north to south? I'm not saying they aren't impressive, just that they were only competing with Egypt there.

    I did this in True Size Of:

    I didn't include a few northern regions for New Kingdom Egypt, because they were a pain to move with my phone, but I also included all of Egypt which covers a lot of desertic area that probably wasn't under any strong state control.

    Couldn't find La Paz in Bolivia with the website.

    But it should give a pretty good idea.

    EDIT:

    Ok even better:
