الملخص EN

The period of Egypt’s history in the byzantine era represented an important period in the history of Egypt.

through the papyrus papers, we reached a wealth of scientific material that explains the conditions of that period.

during this period, many manifestations of violence, human oppression and the domination of the byzantine rule over the people became apparent.

we find social, administrative, and religious violence and the Egyptian people's exposure to many pressures in their lives, which negatively affected life in Egypt in the byzantine era.

the Egyptians suffered from the oppression and violence that befell them, and their social status became low, poverty and ignorance prevailed over them, since the majority of the Egyptian people were farmers.

the big landlords ruled over them, in addition to the bad economic conditions and the division between its classes, so that there were higher classes controlling the fate of the lower classes.

with the payment of many taxes that burdened the Egyptians, and they became unable to pay the taxes due to them.

all this with the administrative officials controlling the people and using the most violent means to collect taxes and send them to the byzantine government.

this led to the Egyptians’ rejection of the byzantine rule and the emergence of Egyptian nationalism, which rejected everything related to the foreign ruling authority.
