Egypt

Overview

From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0).

• “‘I will make the land of Egypt a ruin and a desolate waste among devastated lands.’”

• “Present-day Egyptians speak Arabic, think of themselves as Arabs, and identify wholeheartedly with the Arab Empire that conquered Egypt in the seventh century and crushed with an iron fist the repeated revolts that broke out against its rule.”

• “When Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798, he took 165 scholars with him. Among other things, they founded an entirely new discipline, Egyptology, and made important contributions to the study of religion, linguistics and botany.”

• “We are good fighters but lousy builders. Our last piece of original architecture was during ancient Egypt. What are we known for now?”

• “The world of the was a wonderfully diverse and pluralistic world, and nowhere is that diversity and pluralism seen more clearly than in the text of ritual power that were produced and used by the people who inhabited that world.”

• “It follows that Egypt is not a "Muslim Country" but a republic, a country for all Egyptians.”
