Who moved Memphis to Egypt?

Sounds like severe cultural appropriation....

The Assyrian Empire was once the most powerful, proudest and cruelest nation on Earth. It was not without reason that Jonah balked at being sent to its capital Nineveh.

Two millennia later Nineveh was less than ruins. It had become a site completely buried and grown over with grass. The locals called it "the mound of many sheep". Napoleon campers there and had no idea a biblical metropolis had been where he stood.

Much lesson for any country, there is in that.
