[QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [qb] are going to carry far more ancestry from the pharaohs than anyone else [/qb][/QUOTE]You say "are going to" but in reality you have no idea. All the genetic analysis thus far contradict what you claim is "indisputable". There's no ancient population in modern egypt that just happens to be completely isolated from the foreign admixtures (Greeks, Romans, Assyrians, etc and mainly muslim Arabs). So even the populations you cite, they are heavily admixed with foreign invaders and migrants. Most of them are now muslim or christians and speak the arabic language. We know it by analyzing their DNA and those of Ancient Egyptian mummies. All modern Egyptian populations are a nice admixture of foreign invaders/migrants and Ancient Egyptians. Something to be proud of because those are all great people like Romans, Greeks, Ancient Egyptians, Kushites, Assyrians, Persians, Bedouins, etc. Maybe the closest to Ancient Egyptians would be the Nubians still living along the Nile in upper egypt. Although those Nubians are not direct descendants of Ancient Egyptians or even Kushites for the most part (various level of admixtures would have occurred). They would still share a larger proportion of common ancestors with Ancient Egyptians(indigenous Africans from the region). I'm saying this based on our current genetic knowledge of Ancient Egyptians and modern Egyptians populations. [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm not arguing that the indigenous people in Southern Egypt are pristine representations of dynastic Egyptians. Of course the indigenous people of Southern Egypt would have some foreign admixture, but nobody outside Southern Egypt and some parts of North Sudan could be regarded as more genetically intimated with dynastic Egyptians. I admittedly don't know to what extent the people in Southern Egypt [the areas I mentioned] have mixed with the various foreign conquerors and populations that have streamed into Egypt throughout the millennia, especially after the 7th century AD. Are there genetic studies specifically dealing with the people in Southern Egypt? I'll have to look for them online. [/QB][/QUOTE]
