I mean, maybe - but its not hard to focus on stability instead of growth when you're the only game in town.
They did pretty damned well against the Hittites and Lybians, Egypt only really started to struggle when the bronze age collapse happened. Frankly speaking when you are durable enough to weather an apocalypse you are doing pretty good, the only other ones I can think of that pulled the same was the Assyrians who I'm pretty sure are gonna outlast every other culture at this rate.
