Mallawi Museum: How Egypt's artifacts survived after Rabaa violence?
Mallwai Museum in Minya, Egypt - #CultureUnderThreat Before and After
The Mallawi Museum is a small gem in the city of Minya that displays rare artifacts from the surrounding region. The museum houses more than 1,080 artifacts including Greco-Roman period Egyptian sculptures, animal mummies, and religious artifacts that have endured in extraordinarily good condition for more than 2,000 years. The Greco-Roman artifacts and funerary masks are unlike objects found anywhere else in the world, representing a key turning point in Egyptian civilization by displaying the depth of Greco-Roman influence on Egyptian society – an early picture of globalization.
In July 2013, the Mallawi Museum was targeted for looting by extremists protesting the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi. Over 1,000 artifacts were stolen or destroyed and the museum building was set ablaze amid smashed artifacts too large for the extremists to carry. Recovery efforts have led to more than half of the artifacts being returned to the museum, but many of the rare and most historically resonant pieces remain missing.

SUMMARY
=======
The Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria (Coptic: Ϯⲉⲕ̀ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ̀ⲛⲣⲉⲙ̀ⲛⲭⲏⲙⲓ ⲛⲟⲣⲑⲟⲇⲟⲝⲟⲥ, ti.eklyseya en.remenkimi en.orthodoxos, literally: the Egyptian Orthodox Church) is an Oriental Orthodox Christian church based in Egypt, Africa and the Middle East. The head of the Church and the See of Alexandria is the Patriarch of Alexandria on the Holy See of Saint Mark, who also carries the title of Coptic Pope. The See of Alexandria is titular, and today the Coptic Pope presides from Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in the Abbassia District in Cairo. The church follows the Alexandrian Rite for its liturgy, prayer and devotional patrimony. With 18–22 million members worldwide, whereof about 15 to 18 million are in Egypt (see Demographics section below), it is the country's largest Christian church.
According to its tradition, the Coptic Church was established by Saint Mark, an apostle and evangelist, during the middle of the 1st century (c. 42 AD). Due to disputes concerning the nature of Christ, it split from the rest of the Christendom after the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451, resulting in a rivalry with the Byzantine Orthodox Church. In the 4-7th centuries the Coptic Church gradually expanded due to the Christianization of the Aksumite empire and of two of the three Nubian kingdoms, Nobatia and Alodia, while the third Nubian kingdom, Makuria, recognized the Coptic patriarch after initially being aligned to the Byzantine Orthodox Church.
After 639 A.D. Egypt was ruled by its Islamic conquerors from Arabia, and the treatment of the Coptic Christians ranged from tolerance to open persecution. In the 12th century, the church relocated its seat from Alexandria to Cairo. The same century also saw the Copts became a religious minority. During the 14th and 15th centuries, Nubian Christianity was supplanted by Islam.
In 1959, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church was granted autocephaly or independence. This was extended to the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church in 1998 following the successful Eritrean War of Independence from Ethiopia.
Since the Arab Spring in 2011, the Copts have been suffering increased religion-based discrimination and violence.
