[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Suffice to say, I understand what Supercar is trying to say. Egyptians are diverse and many Egyptians have phenotypes that look similar to that girls, even in complexion. Using modern Northern Egyptians in general as being the MORE indigenous to the Nile valley than the girl in the photo is NONSENSE. Firstly, as has been said here by many on many occasions, the North was not always the center of population and culture in Egypt. Modern Egypt with its focus of culture, power and people is just the OPPOSITE of ancient Egypt. In ancient dynastic Egypt the centers of power, culture and population originated in the SOUTH and were focused there. It was only during the invasions of the Greeks and Romans that the North was made the imperial capital and the Arabs were to create Cairo for their capital city. All of which are purely foreign creations to serve the purpose of FOREIGN control over the native population. THEREFORE, the MODERN concept of Nubian in Egypt is akin to the difference between American Indians and other Americans. One group identifies with the ancient INDIGENOUS culture and people prior to the invasion of foreigners, the other identifies mainly with the modern foreign derived culture and population. Nubian in that sense is also a synonym for ancient Egyptian as the ABORIGINAL culture and population of the Nile prior to foreign conquest. Especially when you consider that Egyptian culture arose in what is now called the Nubian areas of Egypt. Therefore, the girl in the photo is MORE indigenous to the Nile than those partly descended from foreigners who migrated to Egypt within the last 2,000 years. Nevertheless, 2,000 years is a long time and allows even those who are derived from foreign migration to claim to be "indigenous". Compare that with American history, where European Americans can only claim 4-500 years of European presence in America and only 300 years of a European state. Yet in that SAME time frame the inigenous population of the Americas was almost COMPLETELY wiped out and replaced with a European derived population. So, are Indians LESS American than European Americans? [/QB][/QUOTE]
