[QUOTE]Originally posted by Just call me Jari: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Caipira: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Just call me Jari: O.K so he is lower Egyptian, but are you gonna admit your mistake of assuming he was descended from Southern Sudanese Slaves rather than being a Lower Egyptian Fallahin?[/QUOTE]I don't see any mistake from my side here. He might have been a Lower Egyptian [b]fellah[/b] of Sudanese (possibly slave origin). The word [i]fellah[/i] means just "farmer" by itself, nothing more. It doesn't say anything about race or origin of the person. [QUOTE]I understand what you are saying but to me the so called Sudanese and Upper Egyptians have similar looks and variety just the N. Sudanese are Darker the Upper Egyptians are Lighter but they have the same variety. I know that the current cultures of Sudanese and Egyptians are different but duiring Pharonic times this was not the case. Upper Egypt was ruled by Nubians alot during Pharonic times. Sudanese is a term brought by Invaders like Indians label is here in America.[/QUOTE]Southern Upper Egyptians (I purposely wrote Southern since as far southwards as in Sohag there might be some very light skinned Lower Egyptian looking types) are not that different from Northern Sudanese, but that's logical because they live close to each other. There is a gradual change of phenotype in the Nile Valley with rather light skinned types, not much different from Palestinians or Lebanese in the Egyptian Delta and pitch black types in Southern Sudan. As for the name "Sudanese" being of "non-indigenous" origin, I don't see any why it should be a reason for not using it. There is an internationally recognized country called [i]Sudan[/i] with its citizens being called [i]Sudanese[/i] and calling themselves that way. If we were to reject it on the ground of it not being of "indigenous origin", we could just as well reject the word [i]French[/i], because it was brought into the region by barbarian Frankish invaders. It just doesn't make any sense. [/qb][/QUOTE]Caipira I agree with you but as far as Sudanese goes, the only problem I have is like you said the N. Sudanese and Upper Egyptians resembele each other and that makes sense, but for some reason when people Say Sudanese they think Black and Egyptian they think Arab or Non Black. [/QB][/QUOTE]
