History, is an Important of who we are as a People. No matter the Religion. It is still History of a Country. Egyptians seem to understand it better than anyone.

Great job. I am very pleased to see this happening in Egypt. I hope that this work will continue. Christian, Jews and moslems and other (Pharaonic Egypt of course) are a fundamental part of the Egyptian identity. WELL DONE and CONTINUE.

[IssuniYehudi]

Isaiah (Yesh`ayahu/Ash`ayaa') 19:21 And the LORD shall make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day... 24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth; 25 for that the LORD of hosts (YHWH Tzava'ot) hath blessed him, saying: 'Blessed be Egypt My people and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel Mine inheritance.'

I'm wondering why he used the words, "temple" and "priests".

Does he not know that our Temple is occupied by the Dome of the Rock?

[drMetzitli]

@smartwarlord Arabs call the jewish synagogues 'Temples' ... they donot know this word hurts some jews and that only one place can be called the jewish temple!!!!!!! also the word priests is wrongly used here. he means the Rabbis and Chachamim.... but again arabs donot differentiate Cohanim from the Rabbis..........they hardly know anything about the jewish culture ........... so you can forgive him :)

If you listen to academics and scholars discuss Egypt, you'd think this civilization was Greek or Arab but these infliences come around at the end of the Dynasties when Cleopatra was ruler some 3000 years after Egyptian unification.. Have you ever heard n academic like this atribute its success to a black person or even talk about Nubian's who share EXACTLY the SAME ARTistic expression as the Egyptians. Say it bastard.. ANCIENT EGYPT and the Pyramids were bulit using black brains and hands

[yerk3]

@DEFACTO9 The Nubian art was also more organic and curvilinear than the Egyptian art, which was straighter and more rectilinear. Both used heirarchical scale, but the Nubian art showed giant queens carring weapons and leading armies, where the entire cannon of Egyptian art, with the exception of Hatshepsut, shows women, even queens, as either much smaller than their husbands, or walking obediently 3 steps behind.

It's great that the SCA are focusing on more than Egypt's ancient and Islamic history
