And perhaps can be said that Egypt's history is different about the history of many countries that record the history according to the succession of political regimes that ruled in the history of successive civilizations of Egypt recorded and left after the demise of the legacy received by the back adds to it.

And history of Egypt overlap the novel archaeological, historical, with the novel religious, between the story of Pharaonic old and came in the holy books of stories of divine prophets who crossed Egypt and lived there and their relations with its people Copts up to the beginning of the Arab Islamic history which is the launch of the actual modern Egypt, when he took the conqueror Amr Ibn al-Fustat, Cairo from the site of the capital of the mandate.

Egypt has received documented evidence on the sensory more than any other country and language Vnicoh pharaohs hieroglyphs by Champollion decoded together with books of narrators of Arabs and Muslims with the novel that came in the religious scriptures and access to recordings of the narrators, travelers and explorers and the Western Orientalists.

Egypt and the Museum is not bounded by space and time, the evidence and features of Troy civilizations and stories of Copts and the Pharaohs and of the Holy Family, Greece, Romans, Arabs and Muslims who have settled in nearly 15 centuries in and approved the Arab identity of the Islamic roots of civilization, multiple, and the effects of the hallmarks of the invaders who have dared to hope and crossed and left of the French, British and other .

Civilization can be recognized that the state of modern Egypt was established with the beginning of the family of Mohamed Ali the Great, who came from Albania, the Ottoman ruler walks towards the mandate laid down the foundations of independence and the rise of modern European civilization and looked forward to the young and the carrier by the systems and methods and manifestations.

The continued provision of this family that the Egyptians took the reins of their country in the July 23, 1952 ushered in an era of the Republic to take over Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser the leadership helm directed towards asserting its bond and the Arab-Islamic identity and its leading role in the Arab region until the present time.
