[IMG]http://aliciapatterson.org/APF001974/Rubin/Rubin06/Rubin01.jpg[/IMG] ^^^^ The Man is not a "Sudanese" but a Fallahin of Upper Egypt.. http://aliciapatterson.org/APF001974/Rubin/Rubin06/Rubin06.html [/QUOTE]No, I meant the previous two photos, particularly the second one with the guy wearing a hat, which is certainly not Egyptian. I find it humorous that Wally uses photos of Sudanese as an example of the appearance of Upper Egyptians and at the same time claims them those which I posted are "Syrian Egyptians". Really funny. As for that black & white photo I read the text and the guy was actually from a small Delta village called Oshkar, so he was NOT an Upper Egyptian. I suppose that he is identical with the black peasant Said mentioned in the last paragraphs of the text. Anyway, this guy doesn't even look Upper Egyptian, let alone Lower Egyptian, he looks like Southern Sudanese, so he is probably descendant of slaves brought into the area (where the overwhelming majority of people look TOTALLY different), after all there are also some black people in the nearby Palestine. By the way, he was not a "Fallahin", but a [i]fallah[/i] (فلاح), since [i]fallaheen[/i] (فلاحين) is the plural of the word. [/qb][/QUOTE]First off the website does not identify the man as Said, the black Peasant. The Photo is located at the begining of the site when its talking about and introducing the Egyptian Fallaheen. So using comprehension the man is a Fallaheen. Second, if he is Said, thae article makes it clear his is a Fellahin or descended from Nomands not slaves. [b][b]I got a sense of the relative feelings of the fellahin for Nasser and Sadat from Said,[/b] an illiterate peasant employed by my journalist friend to tend the orchards on his property at the edge of the village. Said is tall and black, one of the few black men to be seen in the area, [b]perhaps a descendant of African nomads.[/b] He lives in a small mud brick house, typical of the village, with a central courtyard shared by his wife, their four children, a. donkey, several chickens, and a large round oven to bake bread in. On the roof are pigeon coops and bales of hay.[/b] I find it funny how you accuse Wally of Eyeball research and ask him how does he know your Egyptians were not present in Pharonic periods but then turn around and call Blacker Egyptians "Sudanese"...as if these people called themselves Sudanese and Egyptian prior to Arab Invaders.
