EGYPT - Mother of the World

"Mother of the World" (Umm El Donnya) Arabic - , is the name Egyptians give to their country ... The mother in the Egyptian, Arabic and Muslim world is the most important member of the family, the center of all attention, without her a family is never UNITED nor nourished intellectually - Egypt is therefore considered by Egyptians to be the center of the world -- resembling a mother taking care of and nursing the world!

Egypt, officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a country in North Africa that includes the Sinai Peninsula, a land bridge to Asia. Covering an area of about 1,001,450 square kilometers (386,660 sq mi), Egypt borders Libya to the west, Sudan to the south, and the Gaza Strip and Israel to the east. The northern coast borders the Mediterranean Sea and the island of Cyprus; the eastern coast borders the Red Sea.

Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa. The great majority of its estimated 78 million people (2007) live near the banks of the Nile River in an area of about 40,000 square kilometers (15,000 sq mi) where the only arable agricultural land is found. The large areas of the Sahara Desert are sparsely inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents live in urban areas, with the majority spread across the densely populated centers of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major cities in the Nile Delta.
Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid complex and the Great Sphinx. The southern city of Luxor contains numerous ancient artifacts, such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural nation of the Middle East.

@ahmedzs1 Probably yes, but the reality is something so much different, and I do not understand why people is supporting a false idea, it is crazy, do not you?

[ahmedzs1]

@2authenic Egyprian are African since Egypt is located in the far north eastern corner of Africa. However, this has no conncetion to the race of black African who inhabit sub-Saharan Africa.

@AhmadAshi I understand that you feel passion for that country. But what I say. It is that Egypt is not the mother of the world. And if any country deserves to be the mother of all It is Mexico. In Mexico there is much life throughout the country and not anything more in a piece of land. In Mexico we have more than 25% of the total of the flora and fauna around the world as well as marine life. And Egypt not!. Also in Egypt have 8 pyramids. And we have thousands of pyramids in Mexico.
