About the Mishras coming from Egypt: The Bhavishya Purana tells us about a tradition that roundabout the 1000th year of KaliYuga Kashyapa branches went from the Sarasvati area to the west to colonize Egypt and giving that country the name of one of their banches, called Mishra. After some generations ruling over there, they returned home. If the KaliYuga of 3102 BC is meant, it means that roundabout 2102 was started a movement towards the west, which is not really impossible: The Sarasvati must have been densily populated and already slowly drying up. The returning to the homeland might be some hints to the Hyksos or Heka-Kashu dynasty of Egypt, invading Egypt probably from Palestine area. They took control over the capital Memphis in Egypt in 1674 BC, and ruled from 1674- 1567 BC. About the invasions being proved Many of the people who 'invaded' India were actually kindred people: The Shakas, Yavanas, (Shveta) Hunas and Kushanas were Indo-European speaking people, some who were from very remote times still in the (north)west, some groups had migrated to Uttara regions to the north of the Indian subcontinent from the Xinjiang and Altai to the steppe zone of Eurasia. Others were in the neighbouring Iran. (Afghanistan belonging actually culturally and historically to the Indian area, as witnessed in the Hindu Koh naming). There's a lot of research to be done on especially the Shaka presence in and around India. Many other 'invaders' were mostly Shakas or Shakaized Indo-European. Only the tribes like the Mongols were of course different.
