[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] WalklikeanEgyptian, to understand the origins of the ancient Egyptians you have to study the pre-dyanstic period. During this period is when the heritage of the ancient Egyptians formed. Most people are unaware that at one time the Sahara desert was once more moist,and that people that have affinities with so-called Sub-Saharan people existed in this region. This is attested both by rock art and physical remains. What occured is many movements from the south and from the Sahara desert that went to form the early Egyptian populations like Badarian,Naqada,etc. Most of the Nile was covered up with marshes unill human population began to move in around approximately 7,500 BP that formed the Faiyum Neolithic. Definately this population had to come either from the Sahara or southward. Whatever the Delta people were in the Northern part of Egypt is still up for debate.We definately know that the Upper Egyptian people were African in origin,and is not debatable. Skeletal analysis confirms the following. Most old anthropologist have said the closest modern people to what the pre-dyanstic Egyptians were the modern Beja people in modern day Sudan. Makayla,if I may call you that, I am from the Luxor area myself. I would agree that the cloest people to the ancient Egyptians in modern Egypt in terms of phenotype are the southern Upper Egypt people. Which village in Luxor did your people come from? The Lower Egyptians have alot of Greek,Armenian,Turkish,Arab,and even Iranian ancestry. This mostly came from the Late Dyanstic Period into the Islamic period and modern era. Some Middle Egyptians located around Fayoum to Minya might have some Berber ancestry and some Arab ancestry.
