[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Old Doctore: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by multisphinx: [qb]Your contradicting yourself. You just "Mubarak is Egyptian, ethnically speaking. He's obviously not of wholly NE African ancestry, but he's still ethnically Egyptian." How can say tantawi is half Nubian(as if nubian's are alien to Egypt), when in actuality his Nubian side comes from Egypt and Mubarak who ancestry comes from a Eurasian background is ethnically Egyptian. That does not make any sense. Nubian's have always been in apart of AE history and to this day reside in Egypt. Modern day Egyptians who resemble Honsni have foreign ancestry from elsewhere so how does that give them the ethnic background of an "Egyptian" over a NUBIAN. Again make no sense. If someone like Hosni get the right to claim the ethnicity of Egyptian a Nubian of Egypt should have the same classification, since ethnically "EGYPTIAN" of today is not in congruence with "Ancient Egyptian". [/qb][/QUOTE]Do you not know the difference between nationality and ethnicity? Nationality wise, they are both 100% Egyptian. Since the modern Arab Republic of Egypt consists of what used to be independent Lower Nubia. Ethnicity wise, Tantawi is only half Egyptian, half Nubian. Mubarak is 100% Egyptian. In Egypt today, there are three dominant ethnic groups... the predominant Egyptians, the Nubians, and the Beja. The Egyptians are the direct descendants of the Ancient Egyptians, all though in regard to Lower Egypt in particular having received foreign gene-flow during the historic era, esp. during the Greco-Roman and Islamic eras. The Nubians and the Beja are not the direct descendants, all though they likely most resemble the ancients on a genetic and phenotypic level. The Nubians and Beja are culturally distinct from the predominant Egyptian culture/population and have their own identity, people like Mubarack only know and identify with "Egyptian" culture. And they would not have it any other way. Lower and Middle Egyptians are likely predominantly African, and they look it, in regard to a Northeast African context at least. In that they look more African than your average 50/50 East African/Eurasian child. I'm not contradicting myself, your just confused. [/QB][/QUOTE]
