[QUOTE]Originally posted by Caipira: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: These are NOT Upper Egyptians you posted, but Egyptians from beni suef, which is about 75 miles south of Cairo [/QUOTE]Well, the precise boundaries of Upper Egypt are disputable. According to the Ancient Egyptian definition (which should be the most authoritative for you), basically the whole area between Memphis and Aswan (and therefore including Beni Suef) was "Upper Egypt" and known as [i]Ta Shemau[/i] in opposition to "Lower Egypt" - [i]Ta Mehu[/i]. Also according to the modern Egyptian definition the Nile Valley part of Egypt is considered to be one region called [i]el Sa'id[/i] (الصعيد) alias Upper Egypt. However, you have only dodged answering my question, which is how can you know that the people in the photos I posted are "Turkish" or "Syrian" Egyptians as opposed to your allegedly more "authentic" ones (some of them being most probably Sudanese). Do you know their genealogies? Do you know exactly how the people in those regions looked like 4000 years ago? [/QB][/QUOTE]
