This 19th century view is no longer held by historians of the alphabet. The Greeks did not learn to write from the Phoenicians anymore than the Phoenicians learnt to write from the Egyptians.The teaching of the Coptic language is not confined to the American University of Cairo and Coptic schools it is also taught at Cairo University and some of the other Egyptian universities offering training in Egyptology (Zagazig University, etc.).Alexander the Great invaded Egypt in 332 BC, not 313 BC see History of Greek and Roman Egypt.The article has numerous factual errors.referring to Mark the Evangelist as "Saint Mark", etc. The article is absolutely rife with pro-Coptic Church propaganda (in the older sense of wanting to propagate a religion not in the political sense) e.g.This is almost certainly in violation of copyright The article is almost totally lifted from."Seemingly greener grounds!" If this is not a non-neutral point of view I don't know what is.- Abdousi 18:02, 21 September 2005 (UTC) Neutrality and Copyright Issues But now the increasing use of Arabic bridged that barrier and made it easier for the border-line Christians to cross to seemingly greener grounds! This can probably be attributed to the decline in Coptic which represented a cultural barrier for the Copts from the Arabic-Muslim Culture. The number of Christians declined due to persecution and forced conversion to Islam. 30 Did Coptic language vanish due to Islamic persecution?.27 The Verbal State Grade and Grammatical Case.25 Writing System.Typesetting Guidelines.23 Can somebody translate the following article into English.20 Beta is not a labio-dental fricative.14 Corrected Proposal for Wording on "Extinction" Issue.12 The tradition of Spoken Coptic had once extincted or not!?.5.2 "Coptic" refers only to the language.According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts, yet can't get access to a research library. Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture - Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, the writings of Breasted or Kenneth Kitchen, & see if you can't smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Wikipedia than just Ancient Egypt. Any other candidates?Ī boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates !(e.g., why say Khufu lived 2589-2566? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 or 2585-2563)Īnyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Wikipedia, but if you believe it needs to be done. And I'm told that at least some of the dynasty articles need work. To start with, most of the general history articles badly need attention. I'm sure the rest of us can think of other articles we should have. We should have an article on every pyramid and every nome in Ancient Egypt.
