Is Ancient Egypt a legitimate trope as I can't really make out what it is meant to be? If it is, how does it differ from pages like Build Like an Egyptian, Pyramid Power, UsefulNotes.Ancient Egyptian History, Space Romans and Fantasy Counterpart Culture or should it be an index of works set in Ancient Egypt?

Anyone have any ideas?

Ancient Egypt is a general setting trope. Build Like an Egyptian is the only trope you listed that's particularly similar, and that's more about stereotypical depicts of the architecture, such as pyramids.

Really, because there is a section on the page for works not set in ancient Egypt, as well as a number of works in the main section that aren't, such as Pyramids, Warhammer, Dungeons & Dragons and Super Mario Bros.? Should they be removed?

...it's yet another trope page where the description is more witty than clear. Those just attract misuse...
