"The seven pillars of the Egyptian Identity" is the title of a book by Dr. Milad Hanna who says that the Egyptian identity is a mixture of seven pillars; four main pillars and three subsidiary ones. The four pillars are: the Pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic and Islamic. The three subsidiary pillars are: the Arabic, Mediterranean and the African. He says that Egypt has mixed all these pillars in order to form the Egyptian identity.
