“When we speak about the Egyptian identity, we are talking about a group of civilizational classes that have accumulated on top of each other and formed for us in the end this distinct Egyptian identity. We are talking about civilizational classes that start with the Pharaonic, Greek, Roman, Coptic and finally the Arabic civilization. These civilizational classes interacted with each other. The Egyptian identity was able to assimilate all of them and added to each civilized class a feature of its own. We can say that the Egyptian identity has Egyptianized all the civilization classes that passed through it, so that every incoming civilized class took a pure Egyptian characteristic,” stated Lamasat Art Gallery in an official statement.
