Province Of Egypt (The Ancient Lives On)

The Principality Of Egypt was an autonomous part of the Rashidun Caliphate. It was created after the fall of the Kingdom Of Egypt in 643.

Formation
In the year 643, Memphis, the capital city of Egypt, has fallen to the Arabs. When Egypt's pharaoh, Aruk II., has been killed the same year, the Arabs decided to leave a small part of Egypt around the city of Thebes to become autonomous.

The Thebans who were living in Upper Egypt, wanted to keep Egypt's old standards. They refused christianity, and tried to keep the old Egyptian writing system as long as possible. Thanks to them, Kemetism and the Egyptian Hieroglyphic script both survive to the present day and are widespread in Egypt.
