The Egyptian Radio and Television got treasures my generation and the previous generation still remember and are proud of knowing them by heart , we are not like the Melody generation. Now the video below is a cartoon made in the 1990s to a Radio Operetta produced I think in the 1950s , yes a very old and beautiful Children Operetta that almost all Egyptians know by their hearts It became a part of our culture , its lyrics and terms are used in our lives , especially in our birthday celebrations. The operetta is about the Birthday of the crown prince of all the forest birds Mr. Abu El-Fasd ,all the birds decided to make a big birthday for the little cute fellow you can see him in the last part of the video , little tiny blue fluffy thing At first there is a part where Uncle Crow , th
This is the oldest animation in the history of Egyptian Cinema. Historically the art of animation began in Egypt in 1935 by the Brothers Frankel, who managed despite the limited technical potential to produce many of the business and made the first Cartoon Egyptian Character Mishmesh Effendi They carried out many cinematic tricks, which were very advanced then, like the integration movement of living with frees animation. I found this animation through my dear Friend Sherif Naguib who closed his blog unfortunately , but thank God for the Facebook , Sherif found it by his turn in a group called Animation department , the video is owned by Tohamy Mohamed Tohamy. Please enjoy it :) Technorati Tags: Egypt,History,Cartoons,Cinema,Arts,Animation,1935,1938,Brothers Frankel
Student 'Twitters' his way out of Egyptian jail: James Karl Buck helped free himself from an Egyptian jail with a one-word blog post from his cell phone. Buck, a graduate student from the University of California-Berkeley, was in Mahalla, Egypt, covering an anti-government protest when he and his translator, Mohammed Maree, were arrested April 10. On his way to the police station, Buck took out his cell phone and sent a message to his friends and contacts using the micro-blogging site Twitter. [photo link]The message only had one word. "Arrested."Within seconds, colleagues in the United States and his blogger-friends in Egypt -- the same ones who had taught him the tool only a week earlier -- were alerted that he was being held. Twitter is a social-networking blog site that allows users to

Egyptian Pharaohs were the Ancient Egyptian secular and spiritual leaders of ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs were responsible for safeguarding the well-being of all Egyptians in ancient times. The term 'Pharaoh' is a Greek interpretation of the Egyptian word Per-aa literally meaning 'Great House'.Pharaoh is a title used to refer to the rulers of ancient Egypt in the pre-Christian and pre-Islamic period. The term 'Pharaoh', as in the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, is a Greek interpretation of the ancient Egyptian word Per-aa literally meaning 'Great House', used in the Old Kingdom as part of phrases like 'smr per-Aa' literally meaning 'Courtier of the Great House', with specific reference to the buildings of the court or palace itself. From the Twelfth Dynasty onwards the word appears

Isis:Ancient Egyptian society treated men and women equally. Women participated in the political, economic, and judicial world of ancient Egypt on the same terms as men. This social system reflects Egyptian mythology, where Goddesses played an equal, if not chief, role. The primeval mother figures in the earliest prehistoric Egyptian myths are female. Female deities were kept separate from the males, with their own temples and followers. Egyptian goddesses are also creator deities, and the protectors of the pharaohs in the form of the cobra, vulture, or lioness.In ancient Egyptian mythology, Egypt was created from the Watery Waste of Nun, a chaos god from whose body all things were born. The continuous mission of the daily temple services and strictly followed religious codes was to keep o

If I were to travel to Egypt I would absolutely love to learn more about the heritage of my canine brothers that lived before me.Did you know that the ancient Egyptian word for dog was "iwiw", which referred to the dog's bark. Dogs served a roll in hunting, as guard and police dogs, in military actions and as household pets in ancient Egypt.And these pups are well known from ancient Egyptian paintings, but their breed is still difficult to discern completely. However many pictures show resemblance to basenji, saluki, greyhounds, mastiffs and others.Flights to Egypt should be pretty easy to come by...for me to find out more!
Notwithstanding former President Carter’s embrace of Khaled Masha'l last week, there is little optimism in the region that Hamas is poised to change its stripes. Indeed, after Carter’s departure, Hamas officials rolled back his amazing assessment that the terrorist organization was finally prepared to accept the right of Israel to “live as a neighbor next door in peace.” Judging from the official statements on the Carter visit, Israel is not under any illusions about Hamas....(read more)

Ayman El-Zowahary , the second man in Al-Qaida released another single , another audio speech in some so-called Islamist website and of course the media all over the world rushed to speak about the new release of the second wanted man in the world "as if it were real" The same old words are repeated , the new thing is that Ayman said that all those civilians were killed in their attacks were unintended targets and they were killed because their governments used them as shields !!?? " I would not even waste my time or yours about this" The only thing that made me stop is that Islamic group veteran mentioned the Egyptian army in his talk ;oh yes the Egyptian army was mentioned in specific in his silly talk , he claims that the Al-Qaida has fans in the Egyptian army !!

This made the headlines of both the Egyptian Gazette and the Daily News in Egypt from two weeks ago, the headlines in the front page were about this interesting report by the AFP correspondent Charles Onians .It was about The Egyptian Exorcist father Makari Yunan,the preacher of St. Mark Coptic Church. Arabic newspapers surprisingly ignored it completely despite it is not only interesting but it is very important. This is the first time the media records exorcism in a church like this in Egypt. Exorcism in Egypt is always associated with secret places , whether for Muslims or Christians , official representatives of both religions avoid speaking in this matter , it is not a taboo but it is like a swamp , dangerous area because both religions believe in the existence of Demon

Admiral William Fallon made the headlines last week when he resigned from his position as the head of the U.S Central command. Another face from the Bush administration to quit , the only difference was that he was not from war hawks in fact he was the sound of reason and Peace in that administration. In the two years if you remember several hawks quitted and resigned and it was considered as a sign for the near end of Bush era in the white house but to find this man resigning it was a surprise , because of the timing , he is resigning at the end of Bush's time in the white house, few months and G.W the 2nd will pack his bags and hopefully we will not see him again except when Laura decides to run for presidency !!

AKI - The Egyptian cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who is also a preacher on the Arab satellite television network Al Jazeera, has called on al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden to surrender."I ask Osama bin Laden to surrender and to hand himself over to an international tribunal in order to respond to the charge that he ordered the attacks of September 11," said al-Qaradawi in an interview with the Arab newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat.According to the well-known Muslim scholar, it is still not established "in a definitive way by the American secret services in their reports," of bin Laden's responsibility in the attacks that occurred in New York and Washington in 2001.For this reason, he calls on bin Laden to surrender and allow himself to be judged.

This is an overview of one of the most peculiar natural history conceptions of the ancient Egyptians: the belief in monsters. Mythical marvels first emerge in iconography during predynastic times and can be documented down through the Graeco-Roman Period and beyond. For the residents of the Nile Valley, these extraordinary oddities were judged to be just as real as any other regular living wildlife species, if only more mysterious and dangerous. In fact, these unnatural creations are occasionally executed in art, mingling right along with the standard desert game animals in hunting scenes, especially in the Middle Kingdom tomb-chapels. Lest we should forget, Western made maps of Africa, as recently as just four or five centuries ago, represented the immense interior of the continent as inh

Akhenaten changed thousands of years of art in Egypt. Gone were the images of Amun and the other gods of Egypt, now replaced by Aten, the solar disc. When Akhenaten built his monuments with images of the Pharaoh, he moved away from the traditions of a strong, handsome muscular Pharaoh. Images of Pharaohs with idealized bodies were gone. The Pharaoh was shown as misshapen as was his wife Nefertiti. It became fashionable to show images of the entire royal family with elongated heads, faces, fingers, toes, wide hips, This gave the artists of Amarna new freedom to show scenes of the real life of the Pharaoh, something that had never been done before. The temple was covered with scenes of the Aten, the sun disc with its rays shining down, ending in hands holding ankhs, the hieroglyph for life.

This story is dedicated to all those who thought that our hero can be our next president after Mubarak !! "Thank God I never respect him at all" Our story would never have been known if Tom Hanks had not decide to produce "Charlie's Wilson War" the film which now is on my " Films I want to watch" list to see our hero . Our hero already had an infamous reputation in Egypt every body knows about ,this is just a new chapter in his book of scandals which prove that he did not deserve the position nor the respect that he was given and it makes me wonder about how valid his decisions in his very critical position in very critical time "late 1970s and early 1980s" were. I expect that this will be the new 2008 Press talk for the next couple of weeks , already our hero was a hot meal for them in mid 1990s with scandals .

First of all let me point out that a trip like this is a fairly expensive thing to do. This 15 day trip was supposed to cost around 1.500 Euros per person. Most of things were already included in that sum. We only spent additional 150 Euros on food, drinks and a few gifts for folks back
In my non-stop quest to make Viator the one-stop source of information for travel to Egypt…
My husband and I are not what we would call ‘cruise’ people. We have never done an extended cruise and have never been inclined to do so. When planning our trip to Egypt it became apparent early on that unless we were prepared to endure hours of car travel on bumpy, deserted roads with no speed limits - that would be NO - our best option for seeing the curiously named Upper Egypt, is by boat. I say curiously named because when you look at a map of Egypt, Upper Egypt (Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, etc) appears to the South of Lower Egypt (Cairo, Alexandria, etc). I equate North with up and South with down, maybe it’s just me. In this case Upper refers to height with Upper Egypt further above sea level than Lower Egypt…it took me a while to grasp this concept!
Anyway, getting back on track, we decided to do the 8 Day Nile River Cruise on the lovely M/Y Mirage (M/Y bein

Few days back i received an email from the Arab Writers Group Syndicate calling attention to the discrimination and violation of human rights by the Egyptian officials against the native Egyptian Christian community, also known as the Copts. Its totally unacceptable and also against the ethics of Islam. It must be noted that this problem is from corrupted political system, degradation of moral ethics and human value which we find so often in our troubled time.. Egyptian Christians: Strangers in their Native Land!The Copts, Egypt’s indigenous, pre-Arab, pre-Islamic Christians, are a native ethno-religious group of Egypt. Egyptian Christians trace their ancestry to the indigenous Pharaonic-era population of Egypt, converted to Christianity by St. Mark, one of Christ’s earliest disciples. Today Copts number approximately seven to twelve million people and constitute between 10% and 15% of the Egyptian population, making them the largest indigenous Christian community in both Africa a

The Egyptians wore regular clothes but always wore elaborate jewelry. The personal jewelry was worn for ornamention and to show how wealthy the person was. Some of the jewelry included earrings, bracelets, anklets, rings, and beaded necklaces. The gems the Egyptians put in the jewelry were garnet, onyx, turquoise, amethyst, and lapis lazuli. They also added copper, gold, and shells. Egyptians also wore necklaces of colorful beads and amulets. They thought that wearing jewelry brought good luck. Jewelry was extremely popular throughout the history of the Egyptian nation. Excavations of tombs have shown that queens of Egypt were almost always buried with a multitude of jewelry to be used in the afterlife. The amount of jewelry worn by an individual often indicated their social position and level of wealth. Jeweled collars, such as the one depicted on the Nefertiti costume of the statue uncovered and now on display in Berlin, were very popular and usually made of

The Ancient Egyptian arts were art forms that existed in Egypt five thousand years ago. The Egyptian civilization existed in he area of the Nile River Valley. Ancient Egyptian art was very symbolic and quite complex in symbolism and design. The main types of art from this Egyptian era were paintings and scultures.Gods, goddesses and pharaohs were key elements of Ancient Egyptian art, as ancient Egyptians were a highly religious people. Ancient Egyptian art is characterized by a strict adherence to a set of rules about representation of three dimensional form and order is exemplified over cosmetic or stylized representations.Besides artistic order, Ancient Egyptian art served to organize political and religious order as well. This sense of order was also applied to social status and was reflected in the art of Ancient Egypt. For example, figures of higher social status were depicted with larger figures. Artists of Ancient Egypt did not paint sizes of figures according to the distance fr
mummy Originally uploaded by bunchofpants When I was a child in the 50s the greatest monster movies for children were Frankenstein, The Wolfman, Dracula, and The Mummy. The Mummy had the greatest texture with ancient curses, sacred burial tombs, enchanted spells, magic tea leaves, hieroglyphs and a love story. If you've never seen the Mummy, here it is in brief: Boris Karloff plays an Ancient Egyptian priest named Imhotep, whose mummy is accidentally brought to life by an archaeological team. He prowls Cairo looking for the reincarnated soul of his past love, the Princess Ankhesenamun who happened to be the wife of the pharaoh Tutankhamun.

Other religious authorities, however, have prohibited visiting the pyramids because they are tombs of infidels.In May 2004, Sheikh Maher Al-Qahtani, which specializes in the traditions of the Prophet, posted a fatwa that forbids visiting Egyptian pyramids on the grounds that they enclose the graves of infidels.
