She/her. Curious by nature. I take nothing for granted; I question anything and everything.
The more you know, the less you know.
I will. Thanks a lot!

Interesting! I'm Egyptian, and I have never heard of it. I had to google it.

This is what makes Egypt what it is today. Certainly, we are not without fault, but this long history of struggle has not only molded our identity but also taught us resilience, tolerance, and compassion.

like how the Hellenistic period (332–30 BC) is "defined by the interaction of the Greek with the Egyptian culture and the emergence of a mixed style."

The way I see Egypt is as a melting pot of all the civilizations that settled here during our very long course of history. They came as invaders, yes, but over generations, many of them fused with Egyptian culture in a way that gradually distanced them from where they came from—

It's neither. Egyptian identity is far too complex to fit into such narrow definitions.

I see endless debates arising every so often about the "Egyptian Identity." Some say it's purely Islamic - dismissing over 3,700 years of Egypt's history - while others would like to think it's everything that predates all invasions - dismissing over 2,500 years of our history.
