The History Of Egyptian Flag And The Flag Company Inc

By Amalia Collins


The country known as Egypt is officially called the Arab Republic of Egypt and it is situated in the north-east of Africa; though the Sinai Peninsula forms a land bridge between southwest, Asia. It is because of this that Egypt is also called a Middle-East country. Therefore, Egypt is a transcontinental country, which helps it in being a major power in Africa, the Middle-East, the Mediterranean, and the Muslim world.

Ancient Egyptians used a phonetic-pictograph writing called hieroglyphics by the Ancient Greeks. This system evolved from a portrayal of pictures of objects to using a stylized representation of objects to represent sound combinations and compose words, to a phonetic alphabet much like our own. Ancient Egypt boasted considerable achievements in art, medicine, astronomy and literature, and was the hub of civilization in much of the Near East and North Africa.

Great Britain took control of Egypt's government in 1882, but allegiance to the Ottoman Empire continued until 1914. By 1922, Egypt was partially independent of the UK and acquired full sovereignty, with the overthrow of the British-backed monarchy, in 1952.

Egypt received its national banner on October 4, 1984. The prior banner of Egypt was green with a white bow and three stars. The present configuration was embraced after the 1952 upheaval that saw the end of government in Egypt.

The Egyptian flag is a tricolor with three equal horizontal bands of red, white, and black, from top to bottom. The national emblem, the Eagle of Saladin, is placed in the center of the white band. The eagle is guarded by a shield and holds a scroll on which the name of the state (Arab Republic of Egypt) is etched in Arabic script. The Eagle of Saladin represents authority, beauty, and sovereignty.

Salah al-Din Yusuf, known as Saladin was the first Sultan to rule Egypt The red band represents the period before the 1952 Revolution, which was marked by bloodshed and unrest. The white stripe symbolizes the revolution, which ended the monarchy and paved the way for Egypt's transition to a republic. The white represents the largely bloodless nature of the Revolution. Black symbolizes Egypt's past when the Egyptians were subjugated by the British authorities. The black band also represents the indomitable spirit of the people. The Flag Company Inc spent significant time in banner plans offered an exceptional release of decals and banners to remember the historical backdrop of Egyptian Flag for future generations.
