	:Interesting proposal, but the problem with this is that Copts is a name that originated far after the fall of ancient Egyptian civilization. Moreover, it is almost invariably associated with Egyptian Christians just like 'Jews' refers to an ethnoreligious group. Finally, while Copts are regarded as the direct descendants of the ancient Egyptians via speaking a modern variant of the ancient Egyptian language, the vast majority of Egyptians today who aren't Copts are still descendants all the same.
