Ägypter

Ägypter refers to the people of Egypt, a country located in Northeast Africa. The modern Egyptian population is predominantly of Arab descent, with a significant Coptic Christian minority. Historically, the term has also been used to describe the ancient inhabitants of the Nile Valley, known for their advanced civilization that flourished for thousands of years.

The ancient Egyptians developed a unique culture, characterized by monumental architecture such as the pyramids and temples, a complex religious system, hieroglyphic writing, and advancements in astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. Their civilization profoundly influenced later cultures in the Mediterranean and beyond.

Today, Egyptians are united by a shared national identity, language (Egyptian Arabic), and cultural heritage. The country's population is concentrated along the Nile River and its delta, where fertile land supports agriculture and major urban centers like Cairo and Alexandria are located. The economy is diverse, relying on agriculture, tourism, industry, and remittances. Egyptian society is influenced by a blend of traditional values and modern aspirations, with a rich artistic and literary tradition that continues to evolve.
