Pyramids suggested on Egypt’s flag
This is how the author of this blog envisions the new flag
A member of the People’s Assembly of Egypt suggested placing the Great Pyramids on a new Egyptian flag. According to lawmaker Hussein Abdel-Samei, the Pyramids of Giza would replace the current flag’s golden eagle holding a shield emblazoned with the words “Arab Republic of Egypt”.
The Great Pyramids are a worldwide known icon unique to Egypt. Its elegant design would make the nation’s flag instantly recognizable and easy to memorize. The new national ensign would also be much easier to draw by school children and the general population.
However, Safwat al-Sharif, head of the Shura Council, refused to consider this suggestion, stating that Egypt is not a Pharaonic country, but instead rooted in the Pharaonic, Coptic Christian, and Islamic eras.
