With compliments

A WELL-KNOWN author was approached by a magazine

editor to write 2,000 words about Egyptian history. After

looking at the editor as if he was mad, the author had

said he had more urgent things to do – like drinking coffee or

watching Mo Salah playing for Liverpool.

Egypt, he said, was a very sandy and dusty country. But if you

swept the dust and sand away, you would find layer upon

layer of history going back thousands and thousands of years.

Egyptian history, he added, made even the pyramids look old.

So how could he write about Egyptian history in 2,000 words?

Even without going into pre-history, as it were, he would have

to mention 130 Pharaohs and 31 dynasties. And if he started

at the beginning, of which no one was sure of, he would have

to begin with the Palaeolithic era (over 30,000 years ago) and

move to Mesolithic (about 13,000 years ago).

Then – and only then – could he move onto the Pharaohs, the

pyramids, the great temples and the Sphinx (5,000 years ago).

Then there was Alexander the Great and the world’s biggest

library at Alexandria, consisting of some 40,000 volumes, burnt

“by mistake” by Caesar’s rampaging troops in the 2nd century

CE.

Copts, Egyptian Christians who say Apostle Mark is their founder,

appeared in 4 CE. Islam only swept down the Nile in the 7th

century – after Sassanid and Byzantine periods of dominance

– at the hands of Prophetic Companion, ‘Amr ibn ‘As, and 4,

000 troops. They overwhelmed the Mediterranean port of

Alexandria in 641 CE.

There is just so much, said the author. Today’s Sisi era, and the

short rule of the ikhwan after the events of 2011, is hardly a blip

on the historic radar. Egyptians, he continues, have proved

one thing to us. They are resourceful and they are resilient –

they are much bigger than their politics.

“Egypt borders on the Sudan, Libya and the Sahara. Jordan,

Israel, Saudi Arabia, the Sinai and the Red Sea are to our east,

with Gaza to the south. You can say we are in a politically

volatile neighbourhood.

“Egypt is a country of natural cycles,” says our author changing

the subject, explaining that from June to September (before

Aswan) the Nile flood used to spread fertile topsoil from

Uganda and Ethiopia across its alluvial plains, ancient soils that

still sustain and feed over 88 million people.

In fact, Egypt used to be called ‘Kermet’, which means ‘the

rich soil’, its Semitic and Qur’anic agnomen, ‘Misr’, connoting

‘the land’. Other sources say ‘Misr’ is derived from Mizraim, the

son of Ham, the son of Noah, who settled along the Nile after

the Great Flood.

By now, our author is in full stride, the editor sipping his thimbleful

of syrupy qahwa – or coffee – as the years reel by. “Let me tell

you one thing,” says the author, “us Egyptians are not stupid.

We had our own culture, influenced by others – yes – but we

had our own understanding of the world.

“The ancient Pharaohs might have worshipped many gods

– I know Akhenaten was the exception – but our forefathers

were Intellectual beings, despite this. The pyramids and the

temples were not built by aliens, they were built by us. Not by

you Europeans, but by us. The first pyramids were Nubian. And

it is us who influenced the Mesoamerican Olmec civilization…”

The author pauses. He tells the editor that his forefathers were

keen astronomers. They saw the divine in the skies. The Giza

pyramid complex was a mirror to the Orion constellation,

the meandering Nile seen as an earthly Milky Way. Graham

Hancock and others, have all proved what we knew, he says.

“We were a nation that looked to the skies for our souls. Our

ancestors also had a fine sense of judgement. They said that if

Egyptfrom Pharaohs to Imams

“The pyramids and the temples were not built by aliens, they were built by us”.

The Nile, the lifeblood of Egypt, wends its way through central Cairo, a city of 20 million people.
