The only real reason that's offered is that the [[spoiler: Magai rampage that happened earlier wrecked the area]].

* HalfwayPlotSwitch: The first half of the story is set in Japan, and focuses mostly on Im dealing with various magi, who take the form of specific Egyptian gods, with Djoser being the primary villain. [[spoiler: The second half, however, shifts the story location to Egypt, marks the introduction of Apophis, and the magai are mostly sidelined, with Djoser himself being otherwise eclipsed by Apophis.]]

* JerkassGods: The 9 gods that shaped the world, the Ennead, are generally apathetic to humans as individuals, taking them as hosts so they can interact with the mortal world, and assigning them strict, and at times cruel destinies. [[ZigzaggedTrope That said]], this is less out of cold malice, and more because they concern themselves more with the fate of the world at large, and don't have the time to think about humans on the individual level. [[spoiler: Set is an outlier, being the only one who's actually concerned about humanity on a personal level.]] However, the alternatives, [[spoiler: namely Apophis, and the Ogdoad,]] are far worse, since the Ennead aren't actually seeking humanity's destruction anymore. Im even notes, that despite all their flaws, the world still needs them, because they are the only ones preventing the world from literally falling apart.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Imhotep and Djoser were actual people who lived in ancient Egypt. However, they lived over 5.000 years ago, rather than the 3.000 years ago like the manga characters. But their roles do allign quite well, for Djoser was a pharaoh, and Imhotep his vizier and the architect of his pyramid. Two-thousand years after his death, Imhotep was dieified, as his level of knowledge and skills was what many thought to be close to god-like. There is a statue of Djoser that bears Imhotep's name on it.

Added DiffLines:
* EgyptIsStillAncient: Actually averted for the country itself. Egypt itself is otherwise modern, and Im is even seriously off-put when he arrives there, and notes how completely unlike it has become to his old home. That being said, there's basically a miniature country within the Egyptian desert that's ruled by the Amen Priesthood, and is very much a hold over from ancient times, albeit with modern technology, and certain modern sensibilities.
Added DiffLines:
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: The Egyptian monarchy basically lost it's use once Djoser opened the Gates of Hell, unleashing the worst of the miasma upon the Earth, [[spoiler: and coupled with the fact that Cleopatra's lover, Mark Anthony, was in league with the Church of the Magai]], the Ennead decided it wasn't worth maintaining.
