Quote by S.A. Chakraborty

“When the Franks and Turks weren't fighting over Egypt, the only thing they seemed to agree on was that the Egyptians couldn't govern it themselves. God forbid. It's not as though the Egyptians were the inheritors of a great civilization whose mighty monuments still littered the land. Oh, no. They were peasants, superstitious fools who ate too many beans”

“Now because 18 months ago the first dawn, 3 months ago broad daylight but a very few days ago the full sun of the most highly remarkable spectacle has risen — nothing holds me back. I can give myself up to the sacred frenzy, I can have the insolence to make a full confession to mortal men that I have stolen the golden vessel of the Egyptians to make from them a tabernacle for my God far from the confines of the land of Egypt. If you forgive me I shall rejoice; if you are angry, I shall bear it; I am indeed casting the die and writing the book, either for my contemporaries or for posterity to read, it matters not which: let the book await its reader for a hundred years; God himself has waited six thousand years for his work to be seen.”

“To Judaism Christians ascribe the glory of having been the first religion to teach a pure monotheism. But monotheism existed long before the Jews attained to it. Zoroaster and his earliest followers were monotheists, dualism being a later development of the Persian theology. The adoption of monotheism by the Jews, which occurred only at a very late period in their history, was not, however, the result of a divine revelation, or even of an intellectual superiority, for the Jews were immeasurably inferior intellectually to the Greeks and Romans, to the Hindus and Egyptians, and to the Assyrians and Babylonians, who are supposed to have retained a belief in polytheism. This monotheism of the Jews has chiefly the result of a religious intolerance never before equaled and never since surpassed, except in the history of Christianity and Mohammedanism, the daughters of Judaism. Jehovistic priests and kings tolerated no rivals of their god and made death the penalty for disloyalty to him. The Jewish nation became monotheistic for the same reason that Spain, in the clutches of the Inquisition, became entirely Christian.”

“كل شئ يبالغ فيه في مصر،فالخبر البسيط العادي يصبح خبرا هائلا ، متداولا على كل لسان ، منسوبا إلى المصادر العليمة ببواطن الأمور بعد صدوره ببضع ساعات ، وغالبا ما ينتشر الخبر المختلق انتشار الريح ، ويصبح خبرا صحيحا سليما ، من العسير تكذيبه ، أو تشكيك الناس فيه ، فنحن شعب واسع الخيال ، يحب القيل والقال”

“Through the various branches of your tree, you are connected to the entirety of human history. When we talk about the ancient Egyptians building the pyramids, we're not talking about a bunch of exotic strangers, we're talking about our great-great-many-times-great grandparents!”

“ماذا دَها قِبطِيَّ مِصرَ فَصَدَّهُ عَن وُدِّ مُسلِمِها وَماذا يَنقِمُ وَعَلامَ يَخشى المُسلِمينَ وَكَيدَهُم وَالمُسلِمونَ عَنِ المَكايِدِ نُوَّمُ قَد ضَمَّنا أَلَمُ الحَياةِ وَكُلُّنا يَشكو فَنَحنُ عَلى السَواءِ وَأَنتُمُ”
