That's a good piont , remember the Bosnia and Serbian war in the 1990s these people were still holding grudges about things that happen to thier kind hundreds even thousands of years ago. I'm sure the moment the Egyptians saw a family dressed the way the Hebrews did they would have been killed for what had happened.
The City of Nazareth, and interesting find.

BackseatDevil. Jesus supposed to live in the 1st century where both Egypt and Judea were part of the Roman Empire. Citizens of the empire could and did traveled all over the Roman world which would include Judea and Egypt. We do not know where Jeuss in Egypt ended. Alexandria had huge Jewish population and was probably the largest Jewish city in the Ancient world at that time. Jews and Christians from 100Ad onward regularly traveled to Levant. I do not see how would Egyptians - who were not more independent country- oppose and kill some refugee from Judea.

Nazareth is hard. There was a SITE calle Nazareth... was it a town? I think Math, Mrk and Lk thought it was<< Gentile documents
John mentions Galilee. That's all. And to be honests his idea that any Pharisee would ever claim a prophe had never come out of Galilee was STUPID.. Ever hear of Jonah? (2 Kings 14:25)
John (the author) had a bone to pick with Pharisees.
Many of these Nazareth myths start with Randell's YouTube video... Sorry Jumping over Naigra Falls doesn't qualitfy him to comment on ancient cities...
I suggest the site became inhabetied after 70 CE when Chritianity really started!

If you want something closer to time frame, how about the death of Assyrian king Tiglat-Pileser III, Hosea attempted to revolt against the Assyrians... and went to the Egyptians for help in doing so. THEY AGREED, to disasterous results, and the city of Samaria fell in 722 or 720 B.C.E?
Even back earlier in 930 B.C.E. Egyptian ruler Sishak made a campaign throughout the Levant, mainy to try and capitalize on trade and the sea ports... completely passed Jerusalem because the city because he had no interest in it. (This is contrary to the bible account at 1 Kings 14-:25-26 that gives a two sentence glossed-over solution as to why Jehu kept losing all King's Solomon's fortune.)
Egypt's interest in that area goes back 3100 B.C.E., but almost all of that time was peaceful as long as everyone paid tribute or tax. The hill country found that Egypt was a good source of fresh water and grain, and Egypt found these "hillbillies" were a good source of olive oil and wine production. There was no mass exodus, there was no slave revolution. It just didn't happen. By the time Jesus comes along (if he came along) the towns and villiages of the area, SOME OF WHICH ONLY HAD ABOUT 50 PEOPLE IN TOTAL, were new, renamed or segmented at best. However the core centers of Judah and Israel had a relationship with the Egyptians that was considerably less dramatic than the bible writers painted.
