In Morocco?

I’m quite sure renewables use up way way way way more space than nuclear does, it’s like, one of the main issues.

Oh, I’m sorry genocide isn’t a big enough issue for you, I hope you get a new set of morals soon, yours seems damaged.

I’m not appalled.

I’m simply amused by the stupidity

Yeah, 275 years of 3120. Still one dynasty, the way the comment was phrased made it seem like there would randomly be Greek Pharaohs in the middle of the Egyptian ones. I wanted to make it clear that they were a distinct thing of their own.

It was conquered by the Rashidun Caliphate some 1400 years ago, It had been a Roman Province for I believe just under 700 years.

Egypt’s first major power since the Hellenic Lagid (Ptolemaic) Dynasty was the Later Fatimid Caliphate (The Earlier one was in Tunisia). The Fatimids were a highly underrated (both by westerners, because they aren’t ancient, and by us Egyptians, because they followed a different sect of Islam which most consider heretical) golden age for Egypt, they established Cairo, and along with it one of the oldest operating universities on Earth, and were probably the most tolerant state of their time, they were Shia Muslims ruling over a majority Sunni and Christian Population, but Unlike the Safavids in Persia (who forcefully converted a major portion of their population to Shiism and were much more radical than the Fatimids), they were very tolerant and most positions of power were gained out of merit, in fact, the guy who founded Cairo (and prior to that invaded the entirety of north Africa and Egypt for the Fatimid caliphate) was a random slave’s son from Sicily. The cultural renaissance that occured during their period caused accelerated arabization in Egypt as more and more people started to speak Arabic since that was the language of the new cultural powerhouse of the region.

We do not talk about al Hakim.

There’s a difference between colonialism and conquest. Conquest was much much more common in the past than colonialism. Before modern European colonialism, the only people who had made colonial efforts had been the Greeks (with small city colonies in places like Libya, for example), and the Norse, with their colonization of Greenland and their attempt to colonize what is today Newfoundland. Otherwise, the rest was conquest. There’s a significant difference between the two.

It’s named “Black Land”. Their southern neigbors were black. why would they call themselves something that wouldn’t distinguish themselves from everyone else? It’s called black land because of the distinction between “Kemet” - Black Land, the Nile valley, and “Deshret” - Red Land, the surrounding desert.

But hey, afrocentrists gonna afrocenter

This is awfully inaccurate. One singular dynasty, after alexander, was fully greek. Greek pharaohs weren’t just a thing. There was one greek family that declared themselves Pharaohs after Alexander died.

As an Egyptian the sheer ignorance of this comment is absolutely stunning.

It’s impressive

Egyptian here, can confirm

I’m not familiar with how voting works in America but like…

Can you vote? I mean it thinks you’re not a person, can non-people vote?

The delta has lots of rail, and since the distances aren’t that long and Egypt doesn’t really have money to spare I guess using the normal rail there is fine.

Which means Egypt is in the clear.

LOOK AT THE EGYPTIAN FENCER FOR FUCK’S SAKE WHY ARE PEOPLE SO FUCKING IGNORANT?

I hate to break it to you, but most of Egypt’s volleyball team plays in shorts and a t-shirt (talking about regular volleyball here)

The “all islamic countries are iran/Saudi arabia” is INCREDIBLY racist and really needs to fucking stop. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE educate yourself

This one confuses me, what’s the basis for this being a slur? It’s based in ideology, not race (given that it was invented by cubans for use on other cubans) or sexuality.

That would make Tankie a slur too, wouldn’t it?

No I’m talking about the event Dikeç participated in specifically

I believe the Serbs did indeed have the cool gear, not as cool as the Koreans though from the photos I’ve seen
