Ancient Egyptian Architecture:

Coptic Architecture:
-------------------------------------
is the architecture of the Copts, who form the majority of Christians in Egypt
Coptic churches range from great cathedrals like Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral to the smallest churches in rural villages. Many ancient monasteries like Monastery of Saint Anthony, the oldest in the world, survive. Ancient churches like the Hanging Church in Coptic Cairo carry important historical value to the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Copts in general.
