There was an ancient Egyptian calendar, but modern Egypt uses the Coptic Calendar, which is based on the calendar of ancient Egypt.

Their traditional calendar was aligned to the agricultural seasons. After Alexander the great took over Egypt, his Macedonian successors introduced a new calendar, modified later by the Romans as the Julian calendar. A modified Egyptian calendar has remained in use by the Coptic church and peasantry.

Coptic is the liturgical language of Coptic Egyptians, but their everyday language is Arabic.

Coptic Orphans was created in 1989.

Coptic Soldier was born in 1987.
