I know where "I" got it from, because I was the one who originally posted it here[/QUOTE]Yes, the picture is from an website you posted about Nubians and the Aswan dam. Understand, I understand your point about the picture of the women and agree that there are Egyptians that look like her. I also emphasized that I consider Nubians Egyptians also and we do have a shared culture but Nubians have a unique idenity of their own. Supercar wrote: [QUOTE]That would be welcome; it would enhance the understanding of folks like moi, who also have a cautious appraoch to the term "Nubian"[/QUOTE]The problem is I don't know what ''Nubian'' ethnic group she belongs to wheater its Kenuzi,Nobiin,Dongolan,Fadija. Some of these words like Fadija is simply a Nubian word for farmer. [QUOTE]So do the so-called "Afrangi" towards the "Fellahs". The self-indentified "Arab" elite populations of the northern regions of the country, don't exactly equate themselves with some groups from rural areas in Upper Egypt. In that respect, I think it is safe to suggest that they 'consider themselves unique' from those Egyptians[/QUOTE]This is actually quite more complex than I intially stated because you also have Fallahin in both the Delta and in southern Egypt. Fallahin that migrate into the city live in certain sections people know as balady. Lots of the Afrangi[an Arabic word meaning a Frank but generally applied to most Westeners] have Egyptian origins but have mixed heavily with Turkish or Westeners. Some are of completely Turkish origin. They look down on traditional ''baladi'',fellah,and Sa3eedi culture and love Western culture. Then again some Fallahin in the Delta have non-Egyptian ancestry mixed in but still identify with the traditional culture. The traditional elite in Egypt do look down upon Fallahin,Baladi and Sa3eedis. Just to note the singular is Fallah or plural Fallahin. Know the Fallahin view their existence as their village and consider most people outside their villages to be foreign. Most would not understand this unless you are a Fallah yourself. They really are attached to their village existence. [/QB][/QUOTE]
