[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] Depends what modern Egyptian population you mention. There are two contrversial statues from ancient Egypt known as Ka-aper[Sheikh el beled] and Ra-hotep and Nofret. Both these statues resemble many modern Egyptians but as a whole Egyptians have mixed with foreigners. The people in Egypt that most closely resemble the ancient Egyptians are the people in the southernmost regions of Egypt. Most people in the southern most regions have not mixed with foreigners as much as people in northern Egypt. The Beja and Nubian people have been said by many scholars to resemble the ancient Egyptians. http://employees.oneonta.edu/farberas/arth/images/109images/egyptian/kaaper.jpg When Mariette's workers discovered this statue, they called it "Sheikh el-Beled", because of its appearance being similar to the chief of their village. However, it actually portrays the figure of a chief lector priest known as Ka-aper. http://touregypt.net/featurestories/picture06242003.htm [/QB][/QUOTE]
