[QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [b] Another myth that should perish is that Christainty replaced the original religion of the ancient Egyptians. Manyt rural Egyptians continue to pratice certain aspects of the ancient Kemetian religion even today. No where did Islam or Christainty eradicate the existence of the Kemetian traditions as people have proposed. [/b][/QUOTE] No doubt. Foreign religion may have spread throughout Egypt by way of conquests, but it won't change much of the traditional values. This explains the popular languages now found in Egypt. For instance, the muslim groups, are more likely to speak Arabic, because that is the language they needed to learn in order to understand the Kuran, which obviously spells out Islamic values. Nevertheless, I still want to know the extent to which Egyptians speak Arabic. Is it the same dialect as Arabs in the Gulf? I would imagine that there is some Kemetian words mixed with it. Also, is there any group in Egypt, which currently speaks the original language used in AE? From what I know so far, that isn't likely the case. Nevertheless, Egypt is not that much different from other African nations that have been colonized in the past, in that, the conquerors have attempted to eliminate traditional values but met with very little success. In one of your dicussions on this board, I noticed the back and forth disagreements regarding Egyptians as Arabs. The person from Dubai was insisting that Egyptians were Arabs, and others were disagreeing. Once again, another widely held myth not just in the Arab world but elsewhere. Just because most people speak Arabic as a common language in Egypt, doesn't mean that they are Arabs, any more than me being considered British because I speak English.
