Roots
of Christianity & Judaism in Egypt
We
all know that Egypt is a predominantly Muslim country, but Christianity
has deep roots in the Land of the Nile that pre-date Islam. And
in fact, Christian Copts continue to play a strong role in Egypt,
The Holy Family found refuge in Egypt after fleeing from Herod.
St Mark found a people receptive to his preaching. Like Christians,
Egyptians believed in life after death, which is why they embalmed
and mummified their dead. They had celibate temple attendants who
led lives of poverty and prayer. Mark was martyred in Alexandria,
but his followers remained firm.
Among
early Coptic Christians, Jesus was at first viewed as a great prophet
in the tradition of the Old Testament. Differences about the nature
of Jesus continued to divide the new religion. His early followers,
like other early Christians in the Roman Empire, were persecuted
for their beliefs and practices. St. Mena was the first major Coptic
saint, martyred in 309 A.D.
After
Emperor Constantine and the Roman Empire embraced Christianity,
Coptic Christianity became part of the wider Christian world. Christian
monasticism started among the Copts, and spread to Europe. The Nicene
Creed, the essential statement of faith, was written in Alexandria.
But
as the Church in Rome grew closer to the emperor, strains grew in
far-flung corners of the Christian world, including Egypt. Pope
Dioscorus of Alexandria objected to the emperor’s influence,
and disagreed with Rome over whether Christ had two natures—human
and divine—or a single nature. The Trinity became church doctrine,
and “false bibles” that did not agree with the dictates
of Rome were ordered burned. Egypt’s own Pope, who didn’t
yield to Rome, was forced to
flee.
The
dissidents found refuge in desert sanctuaries, such as Wadi El Natroun,
where they established monastic orders and preserved their beliefs.
And their ancient texts survived as well in the dry desert air,
to be re-discovered in the thirties.
Jews,
as well, have longstanding ties to Egypt that go well beyond what
we know from the story of Passover. The Old Testament relates that
Joseph found refuge in Egypt from drought in the land of Falstine,
or Palestine, and that Jews dwelled there for 400 years.
In
the process, through periods of prosperity, slavery, liberation
and exodus, Egypt left its
indelible mark. The ancient name” Miriam “or Mariam”—from
“Mari-Amon,” “Mari-Am” or servant of the
god Amon—became that most typically Jewish name, Miriam.
Rituals
of birth, marriage, death and the harvest, still followed today,
were virtually identical with
those of their Egyptian neighbors. Tomb paintings in Egypt show
that ancient Egyptians and Jews both practiced circumcision, the
only two peoples in the region to do so. Jacob and Joseph were both
mummified after they died, though eventually the practice was dropped.
Ritual slaughter of animals among both peoples was carried out by
severing the carotid
artery.
So,
it is not a stretch to say that both Christianity and Judaism have
deep roots in the ancient land of Egypt.

The
King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid was not meant to be visited:
Getting to it is challenging, and once you enter, it is very difficult
to turn back. The stone passage is only wide enough for one person.
You must be in good physical condition, able to climb several flights
of stairs, bend double, crouch and duck-walk for short distances.
The King's Chamber itself is the world's most claustrophobic place,
with dim light and heavy, hot, oxygen-poor air. There is no ventilation.
If you are at all sensitive to claustrophobia or confinement, or
if you have any sort of respiratory condition, for your own safety
and the safety of others, you must not enter the pyramid because
it is impossible to remove a person or to bring aid to them quickly

the kings and queens of ancient Egypt, the Nile was the River
of Life, the source of fertility and wealth. Today the Nile remains
a river of fascination, an endless source of romance, pleasure
and discovery.
