And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
Genesis 10:13,14
"As we know from Scripture, before Noah, there are nine generations
back
to Adam.
This idea of nine
generations may be reflected in the Egyptian Ennead, a group of nine
gods, all born by natural pro-creation, from the original founder called
Atum.
Q: And who was Atum?
A: He was a creator god, and his name is
phonetically very similar to Adam (especially when we consider t and d
were interchangeable in ancient Egypt). Evidence for the idea of long
reigns of ancient rulers (hundreds of years), are mentioned in a papyrus
which places these ‘gods’ and ‘demi-gods’ before the First Dynasty.
This information is recorded in the (heavily damaged) 19th Dynasty 
Turin King list
(Royal Canon) which mentions several names of these long-lived rulers.
These mythical kings are listed (unfortunately, in the most heavily
damaged and reconstructed fragments) in the first two columns of the
papyrus, and thereafter the ‘non-mythical’ kings from Dynasties 1-17 are
listed in the next ten columns. The gods include Geb, Osiris, Set,
Horus, Thoth, and Ma’at, of the names that have survived.
Scripture identifies the territory we call Egypt after Mizraim (Ham’s 3rd son of four) and Ham (Noah’s 3rd
son). Egypt in the Psalms (78:51; 105:23, 27; 106:22), is called the
‘Land/ tents of Ham’. And throughout the Hebrew Bible we read “Mizraim”
(מצרים) for Egypt. So Egypt is closely associated with Noah’s family
through Ham in the Bible.
They would have greater than pharaoh status—divine status!
---We are
dealing with the pagan mind, and the Egyptians did indeed
deify their
ancestors, Imhotep, the architect of Djoser’s Step Pyramid being the
parade example.
Furthermore, Ham and his family would have been seen in terms of
‘creator-gods’, because they were the ones who kick-started civilisation
after the Flood. They were the ones who were the first to re-establish
agriculture, technology, building—everything needed for society to
function. Furthermore, Scripture records their great ages after the
Flood (Shem lived another 500 years, Noah lived another 350),
which would have meant they outlived many generations after them. This
would have conferred divine status upon them in the eyes of the pagan
Egyptians.
Chapter 175 of the Egyptian Book of the Dead describes a divine complaint made to Thoth by Atum, who states
the children of Nut rebelled, caused evil, tumult, strife, and
slaughter. 
This is exactly analogous to the situation before the Flood
with the pre-Flood world being full of violence (Genesis 6:11).
The chapter goes on to detail the destruction of all that was made,
turned into Nun (the primeval ocean) by a floodwater.
Only those left on
the solar bark (called the Boat of Millions), along with Horus and his
father Osiris, sail to the “Island of the Two Flames” where Horus
inherits his father’s rule. This is all very evocative of the Genesis
Flood and Noah’s family.
--Egypt was founded after the Babel event, and certainly not before
the
Flood of Noah. Egyptian chronology is over-extended at the beginning
period. This is based on Manetho’s interpretation of Egyptian history,
which is demonstrably erroneous in a number of places. He tended to have
parallel reigns of kings (north and south) listed as consecutive
reigns." CMI
