Is history a telephone guide or a guide to the future, an article in which the youth of the Association of Dreamers of Tomorrow discussed with me.
The educated young man said: Where does the documentation of the event written by history come from?
I said: Sometimes the same event is told by those who lived through it from different sides, and they may differ widely in its narration.
He said give us an example.
I said: The history of Ahmed Orabi, the truth, we do not know.. Was he a hero or a farmer who led the army to its defeat in front of the British!
Revolution 19 and its leaders, heroes or villains, and why after Revolution 52 history changed, and those who were heroes turned into villains.
King Farouk, a patriot or a traitor, and does he blame him for being incompatible with the occupying power?
Al-Shazly’s position in the October War, for example, and the story is told in two opposite ways.
The one who narrates either aims to reduce the role of Sadat or the role of Al-Shazly. There must be a documented truth about the dispute.
The killing of Sadat is another example. How does history tell it? I calculated the number of seconds from the hour the killer got out of the car until he reached Sadat. Is it possible that there was no reaction from the guards for all this time, and was there a bigger conspiracy?
I know from the exciting details that the written history did not mention. My father-in-law, Hassan Abu Pasha, was a foreigner in the Ministry of the Interior at the time from the responsible minister, but after he came as the Minister of Interior, he learned and knew a lot that history has not documented.
.
Who is responsible for defeating 67, which is the root of all the suffering of the Middle East to this moment, is it Abdel Nasser, who claimed responsibility himself, or Field Marshal Amer, who was said to have committed suicide?
Were the two not the same!
The commander admitted his responsibility himself and we decided to absolve him of responsibility.
Isn’t that a system that ended with a tragedy that we suffer from so far?
This does not detract from other actions before it, which we may see as great for this system according to the standards of its time.
History is being written today, as if this regime did not throw Egypt into a tragedy, the effects of which we are suffering from until this moment.
Where is the documented truth in the many events that happened to us?
How will history tell the end of Mubarak’s rule. ! What is the relationship of January 25 and June 30 to each other, and they are the events of different sides, different enemies, and different results. Why does the constitution, which is the most important document, put them as if they were a connected event?
On June 30, there was a call from the people to the army to get rid of the Brotherhood clearly.
In the first there was a ride for the Brotherhood on the movement of the people.
Will history remember the fact that June 30 was a revolution over January 25, or are they the same thing?
The American government has finally published, according to the law, texts of letters between Arab kings and American presidents before the 1967 war, giving them chills about those we thought were heroes.
I began to believe what was narrated about January, which I experienced from the inside, that all the events of history are played with the flavor and color of those who write them.
Unfortunately, history is written only by the victors. If you describe the forest with the eyes of a lion, you will find it different from the same forest with the eyes of a deer, or a bird or the rest of the animals, edible and edible.
Do we write history in order to learn and not repeat mistakes, or to create a cumulative awareness of man to elevate himself in the future?
History often repeats itself as if we do not learn, and those who write history to improve life, and the human soul are very few.
But there remains in history what must be told, through the beauty and nature of Egypt. Through the effects of Egypt and its greatness. By documenting what the people of Egypt do not see with eyes of appreciation and pride..
The respected scientific, knowledge and documentary journal, Egyptian Geographic, tells the present and history documented with pictures in the most beautiful form.. It provides knowledge for those who want to research, visit and enjoy, and I am honored to invite them to write in this great work.

“There is no absolute truth, even for the same event, as long as more than one person writes about it, except for nature, for the narrator of it is the history itself.”
