History with Dignity

What do we know about our real history, not only modern history, but the pharaonic, Jewish, Islamic, Coptic history, in addition, to the Romans, Greeks and Greco Roman????

I bet you that university graduates are not aware about their history greatness, only what they were taught at school. What do we know about great people in modern history like Sheikh Mohamed Abdou, Ahmed Orabi, Mustafa Kamel, Qattaui Pasha, Talaat Harb, Yacob Sannou, Saad Zaagloul, King Farouk.... only what we have been taught at schools and mostly censored to suit the regime.

Last year when the TV series of King Farouk was broadcasted, most people watched it with an eagerness never felt before, as if they were thirsty for the information about the late King who truly loved Egypt with all his heart, but also reigned at very bad times and died alone in Italy.

Little did we know about his sufferance, his conflicts and his relations, one thing is a fact, he was never really given the credit he deserved.

Our civilization and heritage are important factors for our human development. We have to read our history to be able to predict our future. A nation without history is a nation without a future.

Let us take our morals from our history, let us preserve this history and maintain its existence. The Pharaohs died with their secrets so at least we should try to conserve what is left of their civilization with the dignity deserved and teach both the old and young generations the real history of our country.

Let us eradicate this cultural ignorance that we are suffering from and start reading a book a month about history, an article on the internet from trusted sites, watch a documentary, read a romantic historical book. Any form of reading or watching that can enrich our cultural sense.

I call for a campaign with the name "History with Dignity", let us tell our families and friends and start this cultural campaign even at schools and universities to enrich our minds so we understand our value as a Nation.

I love Egypt, EGYPT PREVAILS.
