The General List (Archive) Of The Coptic Church Icons
A Project To Collect, Classify And Number All The Icons Of The Coptic Church
Presented by/ Gerges Francis Tawdrous +201203637319
(S. George Church- El Materiya District- Cairo- Egypt)
The Project Idea
I make A General List (Archive ) For The Coptic Church Icons- means- I collect, classify and number all Coptic Icons- let's give example to explain- I collected all icons about the baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ and put all these Icons in one folder and gave number for each Icon- by that all the Icons about the baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ are found in this folder and have numbers- that can protect these icons
I made similar folder for each subject (The Almighty Throne- the Angles- the Annunciation- the Birth of Jesus Christ- the holy family flight to Egypt- the miracles of our Lord- The Maundy Thursday- The Great Friday- The Resurrection ….etc also the saints Icons are classified and numbered in folders)
Shortly- the project aims to collect all Coptic icons and classify them and give numbers for them, by that each icon will have number and be known- this method can protect the Coptic icons from the negative effects of the new computer programs- and we may know the total number of the Coptic Icons and also the places in which these Icons are found because it's written under the Icons the places in which these Icons are found (especially for the ancient icons)- by this method the Coptic icons may be protected and that may save the Coptic Icons inherited through two thousands of years- also- this general list (Archive ) can be useful for the researchers study the Coptic Icons
The Project Contents
I published on my sites a group of The Coptic icons (classified and numbered)– the total published Icons are 6325 Icons- they are published as three groups
1st Group
The Icons of The Modern Coptic Church (painted after 1900 AD) the total is 3713 Icons
2nd Group
The Icons of The Ancient Coptic Church (painted before 1900 AD) the total is 1092 Icons
3rd Group
The Icons of The Byzantine Church (all times) the total is 1520 Icons -these icons are published on my sites on the next links and they are available for all for free- and it's just part of the Coptic church Icons- please note- the Coptic Church icons total may be more than (twenty thousands icons), and we hope you will help us to complete this general list (Archive ) to contain all the church Icons- for that- we entreat every one finds different icons in his house, church or monastery can be added to this general list (Archive ) to send these Icons to us to be added to this general list (Archive ) and by that this general list can be comprehensive for all the Icons of the Coptic Church
The Icons Are Published On The Next Links

The Project Objective-
I try to find a method to protect the Coptic Icons- for that I created this general list (Archive ) to classify and number all the Icons of the Coptic Church- I found this method can protect the Icons because each icon will be numbered and known by that these icons can not be lost nor be faked- basically-I want to protect the inherited Coptic Icons from the negative effects of the new computer programs-
The Attached Classification
The next pages are written in Arabic language-
I put the icons classification in the next pages- example- I put the Almighty Throne in the item No. (1) of this classification- and this item has 5 branches and each branch has some Icons- I write the item and its five branches- and I distinguish between the same item branches (for example- branch no.(1) shows the Almighty throne while The Almighty carries the Earth planet and the scepter or one of them- but branch no. (2) shows the Almighty Throne while the Almighty carries The opening Bible-…etc)
I distinguish between the branches because I don't put so many Icons in one folder- the published Icons are classified by this method in separated folders to be easy to reach and use
How Can Each Icon Be Numbered?
Example- how to know the Icon Number (1-2-3)?
This is one of the Almighty throne Icons because Item no.(1) is the Almighty Throne Item-
And this item has five branches and (2) this is branch number 2 and in this branch the Almighty carries the opening bible- and this branch number 2 has (35 icons) and the required Icon is the Icon number (3)-
Shortly the Icon No. (1-2-3) is the icon of the Almighty Throne while The Almighty carries the opening bible and this Icon No. (3) is the martyrs of Libya because they painted these martyrs in the Icon of The Almighty throne while He carriers the Opening Bible for that this Icon is The Martyrs of Libya Icon
The Icons Sources
The Byzantine icons are found on the internet with very good order
The ancient Coptic Icons I brought from the books studies the Coptic Arts and ancient Egypt civilization
The Modern Coptic Icons are found in the church Books and book shops and on the churches walls
Can You Help To Complete This List?
The published Icons list has only (6325 Icons) but the Coptic Church has more than Twenty thousands icons- Can you help us to complete this general list (Archive ) for the Coptic church icons? All icons which are not found in the published group can be added and by that we can complete this general list (Archive ) to contain all the church Icons- for that we entreat every one to help us by all available Icons can be added to this general list -ALSO all advices, critics and suggestions can help this project please send to us- because we try to make a trustee general list (Archive) for the Coptic Church Icons- in absolute honor we belong deeply to the Coptic Church- our Hope and Light

The Interversal Law of Repulsion 🌌
What if the multiverse remains a mystery because we aren't supposed to find it?
I wrote a theory, a poetic one, a scientific one maybe even a little terrifying about how our universe is expanding but we still haven't found the multiverse, why they still haven't touched.
About how we all might be geminis, doomed to repel ourselves, about light, masks, graphs, the silence behind the stars.
To unravel the mystery, read the full theory here:

What If We're Living in a Simulation? Exploring Simulation Theory
Simulation theory is one of those concepts that can make your brain do a double take. The idea is simple, yet profound: what if our entire reality—everything we see, hear, and feel—is just an advanced simulation? It’s a thought that’s been explored in science fiction for decades, but in recent years, it has gained traction in academic circles and pop culture alike.
The Basics: What Is Simulation Theory?
At its core, simulation theory posits that the universe and everything within it is a highly advanced computer simulation. This could mean that we are living in a virtual reality created by a civilization far more advanced than our own, potentially to the point where their simulations are indistinguishable from what we perceive as reality.
This idea was popularized by philosopher Nick Bostrom in his 2003 paper, Are You Living in a Computer Simulation? Bostrom suggests that at least one of the following propositions is true:
Almost all civilizations at our level of technological development go extinct before becoming capable of creating such a simulation.
If civilizations reach the capability to create such simulations, they choose not to for some reason.
We are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.
The third proposition is the one that has sparked the most interest—and controversy.
Why Would Anyone Create a Simulation?
The motivations behind creating such a simulation could vary widely. Some theorists suggest that an advanced civilization might create simulations for scientific research, historical reenactments, or even entertainment. If you think about it, our own society is moving towards increasingly immersive virtual realities. We play video games, use virtual reality headsets, and create digital worlds. As our technology improves, who’s to say we won’t create simulations so complex that the inhabitants don’t even realize they’re in one?
Evidence and Arguments
So, what evidence is there that we might be living in a simulation? While there’s no definitive proof, several arguments have been made:
Mathematical Structure of the Universe: Some physicists and mathematicians point out that the universe seems to operate according to a set of underlying mathematical laws. If the universe is code, then it makes sense that it would have a structured, logical framework.
Quantum Mechanics: At the quantum level, reality behaves in strange, almost digital ways. Particles appear and disappear, and the act of observation seems to affect outcomes. This has led some to speculate that what we’re seeing is akin to how a computer simulation might render only what is necessary for the “player” to see.
Cosmological Fine-Tuning: The universe appears to be finely tuned for life, with physical constants falling within a narrow range that allows for the existence of complex structures like stars, planets, and humans. Some argue this could be evidence of a simulation designed to support life.
Counterarguments
Of course, there are plenty of skeptics. Critics of simulation theory argue that the hypothesis is unfalsifiable—meaning it cannot be proven or disproven. This makes it more of a philosophical musing than a scientific theory. Additionally, some argue that assuming we are in a simulation leads to a kind of nihilism, where our actions and experiences are rendered meaningless.
Others point out that just because something is possible doesn’t mean it’s probable. The idea of an advanced civilization creating simulations is fascinating, but there’s no direct evidence to suggest it’s happening.
Why It Matters
Whether or not we’re living in a simulation, the idea itself has significant implications. It forces us to question the nature of reality and our place within it. Are we the creators of our destiny, or are we just characters in a cosmic video game? Simulation theory also raises ethical questions—if we create simulations with conscious beings, what responsibility do we have toward them?
Final Thoughts
Simulation theory might sound like science fiction, but it’s a concept that has captured the imaginations of philosophers, scientists, and the general public alike. Whether you’re a believer or a skeptic, it’s an idea that invites us to think deeply about the nature of existence. And who knows—maybe one day we’ll find out the truth.
In the meantime, the idea that we could be living in a simulated reality adds a layer of mystery to our everyday lives. Next time something strange or inexplicable happens, you might find yourself wondering: Is this just a glitch in the matrix?
Feel free to dive into the comments—I'd love to hear what you think about simulation theory! Are we living in a simulation, or is it just another wild idea? Let’s discuss!
Simulation of slowly rotating ultracold Bose Einstein Condensate in a rotating Harmonic trap. Took me a lot of time to descretize the Gross Pitavksity Equation and had to do some mean field theory simplifications to study this phase transition and distrubance in the rotational symmetry.
White holes, as in reverse black holes that push out rather than suck in, are theoretically possible. We just haven’t found one yet. #FACT
