When the European thinkers of the Renaissance rediscovered the ancient Egyptian teachings, they associated themselves first and foremost with with the Egyptian goddess Isis. Sitchin has shown (and I agree with his analysis) that Isis was the great-great-granddaughter of Anunnaki leader Enki. Enki led a separate faction of the Anunnaki that I believe was partially Sirian, as Enki’s mother was apparently from Sirius (the brightest star as seen from Earth).
In the division of the Earth between different factions of the Anunnaki ancient Egypt always belonged to the Enkiites. It was the latter who built the 3 great pyramids on the Giza plateau (the pharaohs tried to copy them, giving us all the other pyramids, but none of them could ever come even close to the three built by the “gods” themselves).
