[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] [QUOTE]The truth tell us that since the people of Aswan are the closest Egyptians to the Nubians, there must have been some mixing between the peoples. This would account for the Atypical look of many of the people of Aswan than the rest of the Egyptians, per se. Since, you represent a minority in Egypt, you should keep that in mind when you try to speak for the average Egyptian, who is more Egyptian than anything else. [/QUOTE] Well,you know that during the dyanstic period in Egyptian history most of the population was around Luxor-Aswan era. There are also groups of people in Aswan such as the Ja'afra and Ababda who claim they are Arabs. The same goes for some people in the regions of Middle and Upper Egypt. I highly doubt mixing between Aswani Egyptians and Nubians have went on because most Nubians prefer to intermarry within their own group and not Sa'idi people. You have people in Aswan that actually desend from Jainssary Turks that were stationed there. The same can be said of Cairo and Alexandria who have recieved immigrants from Syria and Armenian. Most Alexandrians don't look like the typical Egyptian,but nevertheless they are Egyptians in the modern sense. To Ayazid, in the Delta regions is where most of the Bedouin Arabs were placed. Especially in the Eastern Delta area where many were settled. Cities like Cairo,Alexandria,and others during Greco-Roman times had settlements of foreigners that were more numerous than the indigenous Egyptians. Most early anthropologist saw the modern Beja people in the Sudan as the ideal phenotype of the ancient Egyptians. Here is another study: Journal of Human Evolution 1972 Berry and Berry "In a previous study of non-metrical variation it was found that the Egyptians changed very little from pre-dynastic, Old and Middle Kingdom times. ONLY in the New Kingdom was the earlier stability upset." ___so from the Pre-dyanstic period to the new Kingdom the population was uniform to the pre-dyanstic and then became altered through foreign intrusions.
