I have made an ISIS RUSH with spinx and Spearmen.
Can someone help me with new rushes from all civs?

Isis can classical fight with 2 or 3 tc, but the goal is to out boom your opponent, not to destroy your opponent. This cannot be called a rush, even though you assault your enemy aggressively. This is a viable strategy vs greek 2 tc with hippikon and tox, especially when the opponent does not expect it. Anubis is good vs norse, since hersirs cannot catch anubites.
Isis has to classical fight, if the opponent rushes her forward gold on open high hunt. The goal here is to survive to heroic age, not to rush.
Egyptian barracks units are good at defending, since they are cheap, have short train time, and good counter ability. They can do some minor assault, since they move fast. But their low hp and attack prevent them from being good rush units. Beside, Isis has no rushing bonus, and Egyptian economy is poor at the beginning. Isis can classical fight, but not rush.

You can up around 4:30 and grush with Isis which is technically a rush. You can up around 5:00 with anubis and spear + axe with some priests norse on high hunt; however none of this will be effective if you can't do it right and fh'ing is generally your best bet unless vs Loki where you have to make a few axes while upping.
