Then Compensate everyone including the Egyptians
2008-05-25 18:49:00 I read that there are a group of Jews who used to live in Egypt pre-1960 are demanding the Egyptian government to pay a huge sum of money "millions of US$" as a compensation for the nationalisation of their properties in Egypt. It is not the first time I read this , in fact from time to time I find in the media there is a certain Jewish association which is going to sue to the Egypt for a compensation but this time it is making a lot of noise with the expected meeting that is going to take place in Alexandria "I read that it was cancelled and the delegation from Canada was not coming for compensation !!" Look whether this is true or not I just want to say something ;the Jews of Egypt were not the ONLY people who were nationalized. It was everyone from the A rich class of Pre-1952 era whether Egyptians or Foreigners ; of course Foreigners were nationalized in 1956 including the Jewish Foreigners especially French. When the laws of land ownership limitation ...

Egyptians and the Wawa Aba
2008-02-08 12:39:00 DOM DOM DOMDOM...MASRoooh egyptianawyy!!These where some of the many chants that filled the air yesterday, as Wawa Aba made 70+ million ppl extremely happy as it got scored 4 times in the mighty Cote D'Ivoire ' The Elephants' aka ivory cost. in what was an epic match, that not even the most optimist would've thought that outcome could be possible.From the initial fear of not performing well as this tournament started, to the shocking defeat of the Cameroon in our first game, followed by an even bigger surprise of beating The Elephants in the semi final, only to meet the ego bruised Cameroonians again, for a final showdown, for a proof of dominance.I myself see that luck has been on our side, plus of course some good play, but we are yet far from being a strong tactical team, we are a skill oriented and we played on the mistakes of our opponents....To clarify on what this whole things means, for Egyptians, football is among a rare few things that ppl come together for, feel conn...

The Culture & Life of Ancient Egyptians
2007-10-02 09:19:00 I know that one of the most popular travel destinations in Africa is Egypt. If you are like me, you will be captivated by the ancient history of Egypt. Ancient Egypt was a powerful nation during the ancient times. Under the rule of Pharaohs, these ages of prosperity were divided into the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms, each separated by short periods of instability. During the aforementioned Kingdoms, balance was a priority to sustain the rate of progress of Ancient Egypt as a whole. This balance applied to the control and distribution of natural resources (as well as human resources) under the watchful eyes of the Pharaoh and his subordinate administrators. Agriculture, mining, communication, construction, commerce, security, and expansion were some of the many agendas that had to be thought over by the mentioned authorities, as they kept the people united and cooperative through an intricate religious belief system.
