Agree with you on everything, Doughty One.
You and I have been around long enough to see how these “revolutions” turn out.
Not looking good for Egypt.
I hope the Coptic Christians have already fled.
DNA studies are being done to connect Copts with ancient Egyptians (or not). See this discussion: “most of the egyptians living in the south are descendents of the pharoahs. when i see a painting on the wall of a monument i can relate it to the men/women walking in the streets of upper egyptian villages/cities. the copts are mostly descendents of the pharoahs . some have mixed blood when someone marries a foreigner. in that case, you will see a dfference in the fairness of the skin or hair of the progeny.”

Those Coptic churches & monasteries....I hope they can survive.
Thanks Palladn, we sure have.
I share your concern for the Copics too.
