Why do people in Egypt now believe in Allah instead of their Egyptian Gods?
In: Other
They become Christian first, under roman rule.. You know Cleopatra was the last Pharoah around Jesus time. Emperor Theodosius made Christianity the religion of state in 381, then in 391 CE made the public worship of the old gods a criminal offence.
The Egyptians obeyed this and abandoned the old Gods. Later, the Muslim conquest started which leads us up to the crusades. They took Egypt. Most likely there was conversion by force by Christians and Islamic but the romans never needed to actually invade so there was probably a lot less forced conversion (conversion or die).
