The animated series ‘Yehia W Kenoz’ has returned for its third season, with a mission to counter the attempts to obliterate the Egyptian identity and falsify its history. The series, which is produced by United Media Services, features a young boy named Yehia and his friend Kenoz, who embark on adventures across different eras of the Egyptian civilization.
According to Mohamed Adly, the scriptwriter of the series, season 3 is the most important one, as it tackles the challenges and threats that the Egyptian identity faces from various sources. Adly said that the series aims to educate the young generation about the true history and culture of Egypt, and to instill a sense of pride and belonging in them.
Adly added that the first two seasons of the series were an introduction to the Egyptian civilization, through documenting the lives and achievements of some of the ancient Egyptian kings and queens, such as Hatshepsut, Ramses, Akhenaten, and Nefertiti. Season 3, however, focuses on how Egypt has preserved its identity and influenced other civilizations, despite the invasions and occupations that it endured.
