[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] Sneuropa,you might notice that during the Middle Kingdom Senworset I and later pharoahs brought in many captives and settled many in the Delta. Many Phonecians,Caanites,Libyans[Berbers],and other groups came in and intermarried with the Delta Egyptians. Already by this time according to the texts of Sinuhe we see that the Delta was distinct from the people in Upper Egypt. What also occured was the Hykos invasion which some scholars believe was a mixture of Hurrian[Indo-European] and Semetic[Caanite] ancestry. Most likely the Hykos according to the Brooklyn papyrus has an effect on the population here. You are right that the royals would sometimes get concubines from foregin lands as gifts,and often bear children. However,I don't believe that these children inherited the throne except under special circumstances. The title ''royal ornament of the king'' was an honor bestowed on various harem women in Egypt,and to have their children become pharoah was also an honor. Not to mention that many conspiracies from the time of Pepi p6th Dyansty] down to Rameses III[19th dyansty there were various attempts to assassinate the pharoah to take power. Indo-European ancestry in the modern area of Syria is plausible because of the Mitanni being right there in Egypt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
