The EGYPTIANS
our menu:
BACKGROUND HISTORY:
One of the most ancient civilizations known to the modern world, Egypt was perhaps the first civilization founded after the Flood of Noah (yes, we do believe that was an actual event: click HERE to see why). Other than this being the oldest civilization, the other may have been the Sumerian civilization (which we personally believe it was). Prospering, the Egyptian nation was the largest and strongest in the Ancient world; which lasted until the time of Alexander the Great, who's general took over the throne, being a distant relative of Cleopatra.

ACTORS PORTRAYING EGYPTIANS
Movies had to have their say of how history was - and here are some great actors to help prove it.
Charlton Heston: as he portrayed Moses in The Ten Commandments; even though not really Egyptian but Hebrew, he nevertheless thought himself Egyptian until he found out otherwise.
Elizabeth Taylor: portraying Cleopatra. Even though this queen was not Egyptian, but Greek, she nevertheless adopted Egyptian ways.
Ben Kingsley: Portrayed both Moses and Potipher in movies.
CHARACTERS, FICTION & NON, WHO WERE EGYPTIAN
Those famous names in history:
Moses: even though not really Egyptian but Hebrew, he nevertheless thought himself Egyptian until he found out otherwise.

Potipher: The Egyptian high official who was ruler of Joseph for a while, who's wife tried to seduce Joseph but failed.
Cleopatra: Famous Egyptian Queen, that wasn't even Egyptian, but Greek. She was the decendant of a general of Alexander the Great. She dared to defy the Roman nation. She had a son by Ceasar himself, and when he died, dared to make love to Mark Antony; Rome finally came to conquer her ruling.
