[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] Upper Egypt makes up about 30% of the population. Most Egyptians do live in the Nile Delta. Some Saidi people living in Cairo and Alexandria[mostly baladi neighboorhoods]. Lots of Fellahin from the Delta also moved into those neighboorhoods. As I mentione Northern Egyptians range from Southern European looking,Magrebian[Moroccan and Algerian looking],Arabic[many areas in the eastern Delta have historically been home to Arabic tribes],light-skinned blacks[such as Ahmed Zaki the know deceased Egyptian actor from Zagazig] In some parts of the Delta they have strong bedouin Arab and Berber[Imazghen] ancestry. In some areas like Mansoura they are often pale with light eyes and hair. I agree that Upper Egyptians should not be marginalized. Unfortunately many people totally ignore populations of Upper Egypt or anything past Cairo. In ancient Egypt most of the population density was actually located in Luxor-Aswan area. This is quite the reverse in the modern era.

(in Arabic: Biography of Dr. Farouk El-Baz: Son of Dakahliya Governorate Who Comes From the Future). General Directorate of Public Relations, DAKAHLIYA GOVERNORATE, Mansoura, Egypt, 1995, 175 p. Just some examples of Delta Egyptians. Whatever modern Delta Egyptians are neither black nor white. Some can definately pass for light-skinned black people in North-America and many look bi-racial. Some might even pass for southern Europeans. Modern Northern Egyptians are a mixed people. Just leave it at that [/QB][/QUOTE]
