[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: 1. Arabs destoyed remnants of ancient Egyptian culture. When the Arabs invaded Egypt in 640 A.D. pharoanic culture was already gone,for we only had monuments and some folk customs amongst the rural and urban Egyptian population.[/QUOTE]Really? Then what languages did rural Upper Egyptians speak, prior to the Arab conquest? [QUOTE]2. There was no such thing as Egypto-Arabs during the 1800's up untill 1952 when Nasser came into power.[/QUOTE]Please explain further - are you saying that their were no Arabs in Egypt until the 1800's, or that none of them Egyptian citizens until then? [QUOTE] Most Egyptians desend from fellahin and not Arab invaders.[/QUOTE]I agree with this, at least as far as Upper Egyptians go. Modern lower Egyptians have extremely diverse origins and I don't know if we can say where 'most' of them stem from. [QUOTE] The migration of Arabs into Egypt never dominated the entire country[/QUOTE]Arabs dominate the country now - just as Afrikaner once dominated southern Africa. Note: this is distinct from the issue of the biological contributation of Arabian descended populations to the population. [QUOTE]or replace the whole population.[/QUOTE]Agreed... but then I never said, suggested or implied that Arabs replaced the whole population. [QUOTE]. Modern Egyptian populations actually did show interest in ancinet Egypt well before the Western world.[/QUOTE]But apparently not enough to prevent Nasser from renaming the country United Arab Republic. [QUOTE] 4.The British Egyptologist or orientalist believed modern Egyptians were mongrelized by infusion of ''negroe'' blood thus bringing them down to their current position. Agreed. By no means were the British scholars in favor of even crediting the modern Egyptians with ancient Egyptian civlization.[/QUOTE]Agreed. My point had nothing to do with British creding 'negroes'. My point was that the British admired Ancient Egypt. Islamic Arabs did not admire AE. To them it was just another kaffir [means non Islamic] African culture. My central contention, which has gone unaddressed is that it is the Arabs inferiority complex visa vi their British conquerers that generated their interest in African culture. And interest which is still superficial, since Islamic culture is still juxtaposed violently against Native Nile Valley culture. [QUOTE] I have to clarify this everytime but I will agree that northern Egyptian populations have more foreign ancestry but its more than just Arabic ancestry. You have to consider the post-pharoanic ancestry with the Mameluke and Ottoman era.[/QUOTE]Again....agreed. Mostly we agree, but i'm not sure you correctly understood or addressed my point.
