After a long period of civilization, Ancient Egypt fell to the Persians after they invaded the place in 343 B.C. That was basically the end of the civilization altogether. When you hear about the Egyptians still existing after that time period, it means that the area is taken over by Persians, later Romans, and etc.
In France it is known as the tricolore flag (tricolore drapeau). It is sometimes referred to as the tricolour (UK), tricolor<span> (US), or tricoleur.</span>
