Your representation of Upper Egyptians is correct Ali. However, most of people on this board are heavily biased Americans who donīt know and donīt want to know this fact. They have completely different mentality and history, so their obsession by racial issues is obvious. Those people are at most 15% black and most Middle and Upper Egyptians look like them.

This is quite good (and non-censored) info about Upper Egyptians, so ya Rab I hope that it will be not deleted or something. Many people say many things, but these picks are really informative and clear.

It's clear that some (if not all) of those posted above have black heritage. They're def. not white.

Most of those people are from Middle Egypt. Middle Egypt has had a long history of settlement of foreigners,so this is why I avoid using them as phenotypes of the ancient Egyptians. In Middle Egypt its divided between Fellahin,bedouin Arabs,and Ashraf so when you post pictures you really don't know what you are getting. Most foreigners don't know the complete history of this region either.
So the reason why many people in this area look Arab or like Berbers is because either they are mixed with such or they are actually these two ethnic groups.
Ayazid, stop making comments like people are 15% percent black. You can't measure racial admixture in people,and no complete genetic test has ever been done on the modern Egyptian population.

Ayzid, i got a question for u. Why? just why to u spend your time, trying to define what egyptians are, when first of all, you are not even egyptian, and you act as if you are. Why do u go from forum to forum(brazzil.com), giving your definition of what modern egytians as if your egyptian. I am basically thats all i see u respond too.

Actually,Multisphinx, those people are mostly Middle Egyptians from Minya down to Sohag. This is not deep Saeed[] which is from Sohag south who are mostly dark-brown. People in Middle Egypt are more lighter brown than people from Sohag southward into Aswan.
What happened in Middle Egypt was that there were many settlements of foreigners from the Ptolemaic period[Greco-Roman period] into the Islamic period. Infact, many Arab tribes were settled in various areas of Middle Egypt particulary around Minya,Asyut and Sohag.
Around areas like Fayoum were settlements of mercenaries from Syria,Greece,and other places. Fayoum during the Greco-Roman times was a very cosmopolitan place that included intermingling with local Egyptians,Greeks,Syrians,etc...
Here is what Frank J Yurco has to say about the Middle Egyptian population:
In the Nile Valley you can see the full range, if you travel southward from Egypt to Sudan, where in the Shilluk, Dinka, and Nuer, you'd find the very blackest Africans. Many, though display high bridged noses, and some, wavy hair. In Ethiopia, the population gets lighter complexioned, and many look very much like the average Middle Egyptian. In Egypt too, the people range from light complexioned up north to very dark around Aswan, where the population gradually shifts to Nubian.

I personally don't mind Ayazid except that he often goes on other forums pretending to be Egyptian. He goes under the of Shenouda.
People when they analyze have to understand each village in Egypt has a different history. Bedouins live in the Western Desert and parts of Middle Egypt. I could show you a village in Luxor like Gurna and Marris that have two different histories. In Gurna there were settlements of Arab tribes known as the Horobot. In Marris there are lighter than your average Luxor Egypt because local women were raped by French soliders. Ask most Luxor Egyptians and they will tell you this.
Let me also mention that areas of Middle Egypt like Fayoum and even Minya had settlements of nomadic Berber tribes that settled down there. A chronicler named Al Nabulsi dating to around the 1200's under the Ayyubids documents these people living there. You can find in the Arabic of rural Egyptians in these parts Berber[Amazigh] words that trace back to Morocco.
In areas like Sohag to Qena you have tribes like the Hawwara that were pushed there by the Mamelukes in the 1300's. This caused alot of trouble for the fellahin living there.
Contrary to what people might say, there are real Arabs living in Middle Egypt. Nasser's family was an Arab tribe called the Beni Morr,and he was proud of it.
The Red Sea is not that far away from parts of Upper Egypt,and definately there is some evidence of movements of Arabs into parts around the Red Sea area at least dating to the Ptolemaic period. But these groups that intermingled with the Egyptian population there adapted the culture and lived peacefully with the Egyptians.
The later Arab caliphs dumped Arab tribes into the Delta and Middle Egypt to pacify the Fellahin population. Mostly Northern Arabian tribes from Syria and some Yemani tribes.
The story is much more complex than people would have you believe. Because people in Egypt don't get educated completely about what went on during the Islamic period they ae left in the cold. Much neglected in the era after the pharaohs.

You mean to say "pretty CAUCASOID people". I don't see any Black Africans or even East African looking people in most of those pictures. The Caucasoid element is the dominant phenotype.
Even for someone from Cairo, I was a little fooled by these AFRO*** claims that all Upper Egyptains are Black People.

What are you talking about don`t look like even east african, have you ever been in east africa???? there are a lot Egyptain look like east african, i am not saying all east african, for example the Tigray or the Amhara people. I am Eritrean Rashaida and i want you to look on the map before you put your comment. Like you people put or write the crap without the knowledge.

You are moran as he is.

dahlak, the term "White" and "Caucasoid" are not the same thing.
Most "white" people are "Caucasoids", but the reverse is not always true, because there are many Dark Caucasoid People around the world. Actually, there are more Dark Caucasoid people than white/light Caucasoid people.
The people in Egypt and East Africa are not the same, but of course there are exceptions with some in each population resembling each other.
True, Egyptians are considered "white" people in America, but this is only for official government business.

No such petty divisions are made by the U.S. Government. All Egyptians are included in this official designation of "white" or "Caucasian" Egyptians.
Personally, I would prefer the term, NON-BLACK AFRICANS, as in the 40% of all Native Africans who make up this large segment of the population of the continent.

My point exactly is that Modern Egypt is diverse, so what's the deal with the pictures? And those black Egyptians are not rare if you go into deep Saeed.
I can find just as many black Egyptians as I can "white" ones!

First off, I'm not even black and second, Ausar is a rural Fellahin.
And of course ancient Egypt is black, it's in Africa and it's people and culture is African. If you did more research, you would know that.

Nobody said that black or white is an ethnicity. This is an american opinon and not Egyptian one. Most Egyptian consider themselves to be "qamhy" ("wheat-colored" = light brown), however there are also many beed (whites) and somr (dark). However most Egyptians and other Middle Easteners are considered to be caucasoid.

What about these locals who helped with the excavation of Tutankhamun?
Are these "Afrocentric" propoganda?
or what about Tutankhamun himself?

We've had many discussions already about the ridiculous reconstructions of Tut, so I suggest you look in the archives!
The skin color was modeled after modern day Egyptians and certain soft body parts like the end of the nose are only a guess. The whole science is not as accurate as you think, especially with all the discrepancies made. As I have pointed out here http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/Forum8/HTML/002055.html
Besides, the reconstruction looks like a light-skinned black Puerto-Rican friend of mine! LOL

someone PLEASE answer this. why are invaders to Egypt considered "Egyptian" but Nubians in Egypt are considered "Nubian"? both aren't native to Egypt so why aren't the Nubians also considered Egyptian if living in Egypt? seems like a double standard.
