  The reason being is that the ancient Egyptian race doesn't exist anymore and those who live there today don't have any cultural connection to it.
  
  8-12 million Coptic people would like a word with you.
context: The "Egyptian race" still exists. There was never a massive die-off of Egyptians; the culture just changed. Modern-day Egyptians, both Arab and Copt, are of the same descent from the same people -- the Coptic language still spoken today is the modern-day rendition of the actual Egyptian language. There's also several Egyptian holidays and customs that are unique to the country thanks to its long history.
