أَنَا مِصْرُ.. يَعْرِفُنِي الْعَالَمُ.

I am Egypt; the world knows me.

وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ فَانْظُرْ إِلَى الْوَرَقَةِ الَّتِي تَقْرَؤُهَا الْآنَ؛ فَأَنَا مَنِ اخْتَرَعَ وَرَقَ الْبَرْدِي، وَقَدَّمْتُهُ لِلْعَالَمِ، كَمَا خَرَجَتْ مِنْ أَرْضِي الْهِيرُوغْلِيفِيَّةُ، وَهِيَ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ أَوَائِلِ طَرَائِقِ الْكِتَابَةِ فِي التَّارِيخ.

Consider the very paper you are reading now. I invented papyrus and gave it to the world, just as my land gave birth to hieroglyphics, one of the earliest systems of writing in history.
