No, Egypt was the world, the Bablonian system, the first empire that oppressed God's people.
looking at Genesis 10, Egypt is a son of Ham, and Nimrod a son of Cush.
Nimrod began his empire with Babylon - but nothing is said there about Egypt striving with God in this chapter
so while Egypt ((the land)) may have been founded before or concurrent with Babylon, Babylon seems to be the first to rebel against God
Nimrod's name actually literally means rebellion;
Egypt is actually a Greek word meaning 'burnt faces'
in Hebrew the word for Egypt ((what's actually written in Genesis 10:6)) is Mitsrayim which appears to mean "two straights" or "doubly pressed" or something similar?
