Tahrir : Regarding the Scientific institute

The rooftop of the building which is going to collapse as excepted. I am not concerning about the building because insh Allah it will be re-built again just like the Shura council in no time. You must know that the real protesters plead to ask the security of the cabinet besides the institute to put off the fire but they laughed at the protesters !!

Some say that the fire started from inside , whether inside or outside I believe such important building was not less important the cabinet , if it were not more important than anything in the street aside from the geographical society and the parliament. It was the responsibility of SCAF to protect the building and its content.

The minister of culture Shaker Abdel Hamid has thanked the protesters and the revolution youth for saving the content of the institute.

The protesters busted a group of thugs who tried to set the building again on fire and beat the crap out of them.



The AUC and Kasr Al Dobra church as well as the national archives of Egypt are demanding the protesters to bring them the manuscripts and books they found.

According to the ministry of Culture says that 2/3 of the books and manuscripts of the Egyptian Scientific institute were saved. We do not know if the original version of the Description of Egypt is burnet or not as we have a contradicting news. On one side we got the officials from the institute says that it was destroyed in the fire while on the other we find the general secretary of the people's assembly claming that he has got  the original version of the book along other books and manuscripts from the French invasion in his own private library.

This man has got a book worth of LE 15 million in his private library along the first records of the people’s assembly !? Why and how !? Today I heard something very interesting that all the maps we got in the institutes are copies and the originals are actually in Turkey by the way.

A Fajr Newspaper journalist claimed today that he bought some of the manuscripts after the fire !!

Dr. Mahmoud Hafiz "100 Years old" , the head of the institute is currently in Coma from quite some time and he did not see what happened to Egypt.

According to one of the employees working in the institute , from two years ago following the fire of the Shura council the institute demanded a better fire fighting system but you can guess what was the answer !! Nothing at all.

Now activists are circulating two photos for who they believe an army conscript participating in setting the institute on fire accusing one of the conscripts who assaulted April 6 activist Ghada Kamel of being one of those vandals !! The photo is not inclusive though.

The army should pay for the reconstruction of this building just like it did with the Shura council.

The human soul is a holy thing and must be saved no one is disputing in this but now everybody is blaming the protesters on the fire of the institute , it is the trap from the other traps that were set up against them and they had to fall in it.

I know some accusing me and others who speak about the institute of ignoring the martyrs which is nonsense of course , I do not have anything to say or to defend myself except I do not want any people to die or injured or tortured , I go to sleep every night praying that no one gets killed or lose any eye.

And yes I love old books and history , anyone knows this blog well enough will know that.

The whole scene is so symbolic , our future is killed "Young protesters" , our moderate Islam is being killed "Sheikh Emad", our rare history is burnet "The scientific institute" , our unity as a nation on the verge of division " Army and police Vs. Protesters , People Vs. protesters , liberals Vs. Islamists ..etc". We are waiting for a miracle.

Another symbolic is how we did not know Sheikh Effat like we know radical Sheikhs just like how 98% of the people did not know that this small old building was the most important library from historical perspective in Africa and in the Middle East. Science was lifted from earth to heaven on these bloody days

Nevertheless this institute will be built again and it will be filled with rare books again that will be restored , it will be back insh Allah just like mothers will give birth to babies as long as the sun rises on this nation that saw bloody days and nights more than this and we made it through , this is what history says in the old books.
