EGYPT: Are there still Christian monks in the Egyptian desert?

- Way back in the 300s, hermits and monks in Egypt's deserts laid the foundations of Christian monasticism--and they're still doing it today.

We have a strong Coptic Orthodox church presence here in STATEN ISLAND NY. What a blessing !
Love and respect from Ethiopian orthodox 🇪🇹❤🙏✝️
God bless you All 🙏
I visited St Katherine's in the Sinai. It was mind blowing. One of the 1st things you see when entering are 2 letters. One signed by Mohameed and the other by Naploen. Both order that all protect the monks.
I also found Saint Catherine's Monastery amazing, but the letter with Muhammed's handprint is probably not authentic. See Dr Jay Smith's video "ASHTINAME - Muhammad's letter to Egyptian Monks DEBUNKED (7thC.-01)." One scholar believes it was probably written some time later by the monks themselves to provide 'proof' to the Muslims around them that they were protected by Islam.
Yes i visites 2 times in sinai st.catherine monastry...grace!!!!upon grace..thank you lord for the blessings for me to visit and see the.places..😊

I loved this one. You truly have shown us that this is a special place.
Graduated, staying subbed, best prof ever
Great Video. Thanks for sharing!
good to have you back, missed your content
Great to see and hear your thoughts again!
Beautiful culture!
Took a history class from you awhile ago, although it isn't my major, it was one of my favorite classes in my college experience. I love these videos, keep it up!
Fascinating video, great to see you back on foreign roads, after such a long hiatus
I like the architecture❤
Underrated channel, it will blow up if you keep it up I'm sure.
Good to see you again professor
At first my professor, now my RUclipsr whom I express my loyalty to
Missed your videos
The return of the king!
Always love your videos! Did you get to see any of the hermits returning for their monthly visit?
If no more caves are being expanded, then I suppose the tradition of Saint Anthony in being a hermit will become more and more of a rare honor among monks in the eastern desert. From camels to trucks, you've done well in showing the tenacity of this tradition in such a dynamic part of the world.
There are a lot of cave monks around the world not just in Egypt so this kind of practice will probably not go extinct until the end of the world
thank fuck you're back man, i was worried! amazing content as usual. most. underrated. channel. ever.
You should be on Nebula!
When did they pain those pictures on the wall?
Damn, even monks living in caves in the desert are having a housing shortage.
There are more popes under Heaven and Earth than dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio.
As the neo-Pelagian pope, I send ecumenical greetings to Tawadros II.🤣🤣
Juses is king of kings
One thing to note
If it wasn’t for the arab conquest
This version of Christianity, the copts would not have survived
Exactly they don’t exist anywhere outside of eygpt
Yh they were being persecuted for being mysephites by the romans
What? Your comment makes no sense
Huh? At the time of the Arab conquest there were 70,000 monks in Scetis alone! This theory that the Arab conquest saved the Copts from the Byzantines, is very funny. The Arabs were so "peaceful", so peaceful that they banned the Coptic Language to be spoken by cutting off the tongues of those who spoke it, and closed the majority of churches and destroyed the priceless School of Alexandria, made the Copts pay Jizya, and killed millions. FYI there are also hundreds of thousands all over the world outside Egypt.
Too bad they weren't nearly as kind in preserving and protecting the rich jewish history Egypt had
But we don't talk about that
