[[image:DB001324.jpg|200px|thumb|4 century Coptic cross]]
Copts are considered as direct descendents of ancient Egyptians, whose earliest recorded history dates back to 3050 B.C. Egyptian society and culture thrived for thousands of years, surviving several Pharaonic dynasties and numerous foreign occupations and rules. Egyptians converted from polytheism to Christianity in the first century A.D. under the evangelism of Saint Mark.
