"Among the peoples of the ancient Near East, only the Egyptians have stayed where they were and remained what they were, although they have changed their language once and their religion twice. In a sense, they constitute the world's oldest nation".[13][14] Arthur Goldschmidt Jr. ^ See Daylicht savin time in Egyp.
