"The sudden and conspicuous appearance of the Sudan amongst the armies of Ibn Tulun in Egypt calls for an explanation. Some sources like us to believe that he bought as many as 40,000 Negro slaves and made soldieries out of them to build up an empire of his own. Buying such a number of slaves, let alone training them to be an effective fighting force in a completely unfamiliar territory, would certainly have required more time than the few years that preceded their appearance in Egypt and subsequently in Syria and on the Byzantine borders in the early years of Ibn Tuluns rule 868/884. Other sources more accurately inform us that he enlisted these Sudan in his army"

"We are here concerned with the Zaghawa, the name of a tribe and its territory which bordered the south of the Sahara and extended west from what is now the western Sudan across Chad, Niger and Northern Nigeria to Upper Vota. Through these regions passed an important trade route that started from Ghana and continued all the way to the Egyptian Oasis and then either to the Nile Valley or to Tripolitania.. The good relations with the king of Nubia, who had had his Nubia House in Fustat since the days of Mutasim, provided the solution"

(cont) page 111

http://books.google.com/books?id=Wkqlp-lHllcC&pg=PA111#v=onepage&q=&f=false

"For the Zaghawa the Nubian route was a much safer one that would save them from the hazards of the desert. Once this was established, their increasing presence in Egypt was almost a logical consequence and a clear indication of their interest is widening the scope of their trade. Ibn Tulun would have no objection to such an expansion which could only enhance the wealth of his domains. This common interest created the opportunity for military as well as economic co-operation which explains the enlistment of the Sudan in the army of Egypt"

In the Chad group the Hausa has spread farthest and acquired most usefulness. The vernacular of a numerous people, it offers a valuable medium of communication through vast districts on both sides of the Binwe and the Niger. In extent of use it surpasses all other languages in inner Africa, serving not only as the mother=tongue of millions but as a world=speech between tribes of different languages and between Mediterranean and Sudanese Africa. Hausa is remarkable for simplicity, elegance and wealth of vocabulary. It stands among the world's imperial languages, magnificent, rich and sonorous, beautiful and facile in grammatical structure, enjoying a harmony in the forms of its words and a symphonic symmetry that few tongues can equal, and assured of prolonged existence and vast expansion. It is the Latin of Central Sudan.

THE PREDOMINANT AND ORIGINAL POPULATION OF ANCIENT EGYPT ACCORDING TO EUROPEAN “SCHOLARS” AND “HISTORIANS” – Edited by Dana Marniche
Web Site

quote:

---

Today most natives of the United Arab Republic of Eygpt consider themselves (thanks to European colonials) representative of the indigenous people of ancient Egypt . However, it is clear that less than a century ago this was not the case. Most of the agriculturalists in Egypt had absorbed for centuries the incoming Bedouins of the Arabian peninsula who were according to most accounts dark or brown and the same color as the indigenous Egyptians, as well as large numbers of slaves in early days from Asia and later mostly African and Slavic slaves.

---

quote:

---

In 1811 Mohammed Ali, a high ranking Albanian army officer serving the Ottoman Empire ousted the Governor of Egypt and appointed himself ruler. He remained nominally under Ottoman authority and was carefully observed by the British, who were determined to strengthen their position in North Africa. To begin with, Mohammed Ali pursued an independent domestic and foreign policy.

"Egypt may now almost be said to form part of Europe. It is on the high road to the Far East. It can never cease to be an object of interest to all the powers of Europe, and especially to England…"....

In 1820, with the encouragement of Britain, Mohammed Ali invaded Sudan in search of slaves and to keep his army occupied. The Funj sultanate was deposed. Southern Sudan was devastated and the Dinka still refer to the invasion as 'The time when the earth was spoilt'. Sudan was now under Egyptian rule.....

BRITISH PRESSURE & THE CANAL
For the first time Egypt had a growing number of Egyptians in its army (as opposed to foreign mercenaries). The British became anxious that Egypt was becoming too strong a force in the region. In 1838 they compelled Mohammed Ali to reduce his army and drop his protectionist trade policies. As a result, Egypt became flooded with British goods and local industry collapsed.

Italian economist Loria:

"The appointment of such a commission literally amounts in the end, however, to a veritable conquest. We have examples of this in Egypt, which has to all practical purposes become a British province, and in Tunis, which has in like manner become a dependency of France, who supplied the greater part of the loan. The Egyptian revolt against the foreign domination issuing from the debt came to nothing, as it met with invariable opposition from capitalistic combinations, and Tel-el-Kebir's success, bought with money, was the most brilliant victory wealth has ever obtained on the field of battle."*18"

I.IV.29

But, though useful to explain certain economic facts, the terms "creditor" and "debtor," as applied to countries, obscure the most significant feature of this Imperialism. For though, as appears from the analysis given above, much, if not most, of the debts are "public," the credit is nearly always private, though sometimes, as in the case of Egypt, its owners succeed in getting their Government to enter a most unprofitable partnership, guaranteeing the payment of the interest, but not sharing in it.

You might be suprised how many Lower and Upper Egyptians see the Nubians to be the best representation of the ancient Egyptians.

However, the Egyptians from rural areas in Middle and Upper Egypt tend to have less foreign ancestry.


I personally have found little data supporting that either Mameluke/Turkish ancestry had much effect on the modern Egyptian population. From what I have read it appears the pre-Islamic foreign element is what lead to the admixture in modern Egyptians.

Let me clarify also that its not an Afrocentric notion to say that the modern Cairene and Delta Egyptians are foreign. Many early Egyptologist felt this way and often wrote about it in their writings. Most believed this to be fact. It would not suprise me if there are villages in the Delta filled with people that desend from Egyptianized foreigners. It was even the case back in pharoanic times because much of the southern Egyptians could not understand the dialect of the Delta Egyptians. What are we to make of the presence of reykt birds binded. Diop believed these people to be foreigners.


Sorry if I rambled on. As an Egyptian I felt like I should say something.

Fifteen different p49a,f TaqI haplotypes are present in Egypt, the three most common being haplotype V (39.4%), haplotype XI (18.9%), and haplotype IV (13.9%). Haplotype V is a characteristic Arab haplotype, with a northern geographic distribution in Egypt in the Nile River Valley. Haplotype IV, characteristic of sub-Saharan populations, shows a southern geographic distribution in Egypt.

Haplotypes V, XI, and IV are the main Y-chromosome- specific haplotypes in Egyptian males detected in the present study. Haplotype V is characteristic of Arab and Berber populations of North Africa (Lucotte et al., 2000), where it defines a major similarity among coastal populations in a one-dimensional pattern: the frequency of haplotype V is 53.4% in Tunisia, 56.7% in Algeria, and 57.9% in Morocco, reaching 68.9% among Moroccan Berbers where it is in the wide majority; the frequency of haplotype V is 44.7% in Libya, and was established to be 40.4% in a previously studied population of 52 males originating from the northern part of Egypt (Lucotte et al., 2000). Haplotype XI is one of the three most important haplotypes found in Ethiopia (Passarino et al., 1998; Lucotte and Smets, 1999), where it attains 25.9% in frequency. Haplotype IV is characteristic of sub-Saharan populations in Africa (Torroni et al., 1990; Spurdle and Jenkins, 1992), where its geographical distribution can be an indication of Bantu expansion: for example, in Central Africa (Lucotte et al., 1994), the frequency of haplotype IV is 55.2% in Cameroon, and reaches 80.3% in Zaıre and up to 83.9% in the Central African Republic.

---

quote:

---

The most common variants found in different studies of Egypt collectively are, in descending frequency, V, XI, IV, VII, VIII, XV, and XII (Table 2A). The first three of these are of greatest interest due to their frequencies. Haplotype V, sometimes called "Arabic" (Lucotte and Mercier 2003a) declines from lower Egypt (north) at 51.9%, to upper Egypt (24.2%), and to lower Nubia (south) at 17.4%. Haplotypes VII, VIII, XV, and XII also decline (Table 1). In contrast, haplotypes XI and IV, called "southern," with IV being labeled "sub-Saharan," have their lowest frequencies in lower Egypt (XI-11.7%; IV-1.2%), but increase in upper Egypt (XI-28.8%; IV-27.3%); and lower Nubia (XI-30.4%; IV-39.1%); there is no statistically significant difference between the latter two regions (Lucotte and Mercier 2003a). Haplotypes VII and VIII are most prevalent in the Near East, and XII and XV in Europe.
It is important to address the appellation of "Arabic" for haplotype V, due to names being interpreted as indicators of origins, and the inconsistencies found in the literature. This variant is found in very high frequencies in supra-Saharan countries and Mauretania (collective average 55.0%), and in Ethiopia (average 45.8%) (Table 2A). In specific groups its highest prevalence is in samples from Moroccan Amazigh (Berbers) (68.9%) and Ethiopian Falasha (60.5%). Its frequency is considerably less in the Near East, and decreases from west (Lebanon, 16.7%) to east (Iraq, 7.2%) ([url=http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/history_in_africa/v032/32.1keita.html#tab02ATable 2A[/url]). The label "Arabic" for V is therefore misleading because it suggests a Near Eastern origin. In fact this variant has been called "African" (Lucotte et al. 1993:839, Lucotte et al. 1996:469), and "Berberian" (Lucotte et al. 2001:887).

---

Now Haplotypes VII, VIII, XII and XV are foreign, and they account for almost 30% of Northern Egyptian male ancestry.

Posted by Chimu (Member # 15060) on :
 
Now I highly doubt that the female foreign ancestry is as high as the male, but for comparison purposes, let us say it was the same, 30%.

Now that is about the same level of admixture as say:


Maya Angelou is 33% European and 67% African.


Tina Turner is 33% European, 66% African and 1% Amerindian.


Quincy Jones is 34% European and 66% African


Djavan is 30% European, 65% African and 5% Amerindian.


Tom Joyner is 33% European, 64% African and 3% Amerindian.


Obina is 13% European, 61% African and 25% Amerindian.


People with even less African ancestry can still be relatively dark, so how do you explain the much lighter populations? Northern Egyptians sure don't look like Dominicans. (Who mitochondrially have more non-African ancestry than Egyptians have on their Y-Chromosome)

Unless the Egyptians of the area already looked somewhat like they do today as well. Maybe slightly darker, but not that marked. And considering the maternal side has to be lower, I doubt they even have 20% non African ancestry.

Above is debunking such findings by Keita that the Lower Egyptian, Upper Egyptian, and Lower Nubian Haplotypes are "mostly Africans". Once again dumb fucks Africans even further South than modern Egyptians are heavily mixed WITH BLACK SKIN. So to say that they are a representative of their ancient ancestors but the light skinned egyptians aren't is fucking retarded and hypocritical!

Actually I am sure many dark-skinned Egyptians have just gotten sick of the Turko-United Arab Republican nonsense, and how they have been treated.

Ex. - If you wanted to see Umm Kulthoum concerts back in the early 20th century you would not see any really dark-skinned Egyptians there, only upperclass people with light skin. Probably they weren't allowed in.

During our century Muslim or pagan powers arose in Ashanti, Dahome, Kazembe, Lunda, Muata=Yanvo, Sahara, Senegambia, Sudan, Tabililand, Uganda, Upper Zambezia, Zanguebar and Zululand. These aided the development of Africa, influenced its relations with Europe and participated in preparing it for missions. Of the thirteen native states only three were not Negro powers, only four were not pagan. These (omitting the Mahdists) were the Arabs of Senusi and from Zanzibar and the Fulah of Senegambia and West Sudan. The Fulah and the Zanzibari have become quite Nigritic, and the ruling native race of Central and East Sudan belongs to the Negro. The black man instead of the Arab and the Berber has enabled Europe, seconded by America, to open Africa*....

Footnote:

•Speke, 1855, said: "The freed Negro contributed more than any one else to open Africa '. It is a source of regret to the present writer that the Procrustean lack of space prevents him from doing justice to the brawn and faithfulness of the Africans who in exploring and other enterprises have enabled brave and brainy white men to develop Africa.

MFECANE 1817-1828

More destruction was caused by those whom Shaka defeated, than by his own forces. Such was the case of the Hlubi and the Ngwane. Bereft of all social order, these refugees took to looting and pillaging wherever they went. They reduced the landscape in the Natal and much of the Orange Free State into a wasteland. This period of change became known as the Mfecane, which is said to derive originally from a Zulu word meaning "crushing". For the past ten years the word and ideas behind it have aroused much debate and argument.

Many South African historians now believe that Europeans, and slave traders in particular, played a much larger part in upheaval in the region in the first quarter of the 19th century than was previously thought, and that too much emphasis has been put on Shaka's impact.

In a discussion of race and colonial discourse, Homi Bhabha has described the stereotype as "a form of knowledge and identification that facilitates between what is always 'in place', already known, and something that must be anxiously repeated As if the essential duplicity of the Asiatic or the bestial sexual license of the African that needs no proof, can never, in discourse, be proved." In dual character as that which is already known and yet dependent on being anxiously repeated suggests an important aspect of the racial stereotype that is revealed in its use and function in many colonial sources......

page 14

"....We always already know that blacks are licentious, Asiatics duplicitous The stereotype becomes an element of unproven prior knowledge that needs no proof of its veracity for its employment as explanation for racialized difference.

World Power and Military

Contemporaries recognized Borno as a world power. They had vast trading networks, a powerful military and a rich intellectual culture. Around 1512 Borno sent diplomats to the N. African-occupied Spain, they had an embassy in the Ottomans Empire, where the two countries had a treaty of, "friendship and commerce," and Borno also had close relations with Egypt.6 (496, v)

In the Chad group the Hausa has spread farthest and acquired most usefulness. The vernacular of a numerous people, it offers a valuable medium of communication through vast districts on both sides of the Binwe and the Niger. In extent of use it surpasses all other languages in inner Africa, serving not only as the mother=tongue of millions but as a world=speech between tribes of different languages and between Mediterranean and Sudanese Africa. Hausa is remarkable for simplicity, elegance and wealth of vocabulary. It stands among the world's imperial languages, magnificent, rich and sonorous, beautiful and facile in grammatical structure, enjoying a harmony in the forms of its words and a symphonic symmetry that few tongues can equal, and assured of prolonged existence and vast expansion. It is the Latin of Central Sudan.

No Markel...the turks were in collaboration
with the French and British to rob north Africa
from the Africans.

"Europeans" didn't need to teach those racist turkies racism, or thievery; they were masters in it already.

Lion!

Lion - You would think that what you say would be self evident; In as much as Turks now inhabit all of those formerly Black lands.

I keep wondering if the board is that dense, or if everyone has an unknown agenda.

The white's were oppressed, but have gotten even royally by keeping house in Africa and Asia, the past two hundred years. So we are even. Just like we had apartheid in South africa, we had Reversed Apartheid in Europe (1500-1789).

"Royal African Company"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_African_Company

quote:

---

The Royal African Company was a slaving company set up by the Stuart family and London merchants once the former retook the English throne in the English Restoration of 1660. It was led by James, Duke of York, Charles II's brother....

In the 1680s it (Royal African Company) was transporting about 5,000 slaves per year. Many were branded with the letters 'DY', after its chief, the Duke of York, who succeeded his brother on the throne in 1685, becoming James II. Other slaves were branded with the company's initials, RAC, on their chests.

What is the prostitute on our board - Afroholic - jabbering about? He makes Eurocentrists look infinitely ignorant.

Markellion, if Charles II is of Italian ancestry, he would have recent African ancestors. I think that should be clarified, because the Africanity of Italians is a fact. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that his most recent ancestors were visibly African. In that sense, Charles II has black skinned ancestors, who recently entered Europe.

U see this is the problem Jesse Jackson doesnt look eritrean and if u think he looks eritrean sorry but Jesse Jackson has European mixture of which was recent eritreans have no admixture to look the way they look.

Every African American that i meet in America and looks EAst African or North african is a Creole or has recent admixture of which No One in eAst or North AFrican Needs inorder to have that look.

Only in the Ancient Egypt section will a video showing indigenous (black) Egyptians speaking the truth about their ethnic identity and historical origins get replies that they are 'Afrocentric', or replies about percentage admixtures, or Jesse Jackson looking Eritrean. LOL

To the Alcoholic who hasn't quite recovered: the indigenous Egyptians in the video are obviously black and to accuse them of being "Afrocentric" for speaking the truth about their ethnic identity and historical roots, well here's some news for you-- Egypt is IN AFRICA and has always been part of Africa, you braindead kook!! This is like accusing Greeks of being Eurocentric for pointing how they and their ancient culture are European since Greece is part of Europe after all!

As to the blue-eyed mentally mixed-up Creole:
you love to bring up Ethiopians (albeit a minority) having Eurasian J paternal lineage, but what about the many Arabs who carry African E paternal lineages? What about all the literary texts from Biblical records of the Israelites to Greco-Roman accounts that peoples of western and especially southern Arabia were black and akin to Africans?? And what about what Explorer stated that 1st generation progeny of African and Eurasian admixture who look Eurasian than African??

It looks like your thongs are bunched up and what? Because some rural Egyptians spoke the truth about themselves?! LOL

I wonder if this guy Truthseeker2007 is a member of this site.

When I met Egyptians on my visit, most of them will call the Upper Egyptians and Nubians "Pharonic people" and many in Cairo widely acknowledge their Turkish ancestors.

BTW, great videos. This guy was really on a mission, very clever.

^ Yes, what's also funny is that I've heard of many cases where African Americans who visit Egypt were mistaken for native Egyptians. Such a thing NEVER happens to whites. I wonder why.
