Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elkhosht pointed out that Egyptian youth believe in civilization, history, and glory of their homeland. Elkhosht said that Egypt is the first country to know civilization. It is the first one to know the meaning of state, values and principles. Egypt is the origin of religions, and it is the first country where Monotheism emerges. He pointed out that ancient Egyptian is the one who realizes that life is divided into two parts; the present life and the afterlife. Egyptian monuments, therefore, are half on Earth and half in Earth. Half related to present life and the other half related to afterlife. Elkhosht illustrated that Egypt is the origin of mathematics and engineering represented in temples and pyramids. It is the origin of medicine. No one knows the secrets of ancient Egyptian medicine. Egypt is also the origin of philosophy, thought, art, and ethical rules.

Dr. Zahi Hawass said during his lecture at Cairo University: ،I greet Egyptian Army because it is the keeper of Egypt all over ages., He added that enemy always comes through Sinai to invade Egypt and history is the best evidence on this. He illustrated that Egyptian people does not believe in differences and does not accept those who disagree with it. He pointed out that the terrorist attack on Rawda Mosque will not discourage Egyptians from insistence on combating terrorism.

Hawass pointed out that there is no red mercury. It is illusion and a lie for fraud. He said that Ain Shams and Akhmim are two cities that are floating on a sea of monuments.
