[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by JoshuaConnerMoon: [qb] Sudaniya is posting photos of Nubians/Sudanese, but saying they are Egyptians. But he didn't check the URLs he's posting ; they have "Nubian" and "Nubian girls" in their titles. [IMG]http://www.ausbonsai.com.au/forum/images/smilies/facepalm.gif[/IMG] Egyptians are not black - so he's spamming photos of darker skinned Nubians while titling them Egyptians trying to fool people. He's just discredited himself. [/qb][/QUOTE]Even if some are Nubian, why would it be a problem? Y'know I'm just curious...but would you think someone whose about 1/4th Maasai (and let's say 3/4ths non African) serves as a better representative of the average Maasai than say [b]related Nilotic peoples[/b] like the Samburu? Because what you're suggesting is that highly admixed descendants are better representations of what Egypt would've been like than groups that didn't mix as much, and were closely related. QUOTE: "Morphological and genetic research seems to provide further support for the topic. According to Grigson (1991, 2000) Egyptian cattle of the 4th millennium BC were morphologically distinct from Eurasian cattle (Bos taurus) and Zebu (Bos indicus), meaning that African cattle may have been domesticated from the local wild Bos primigenius before the aforementioned date.... The zoological, genetic and linguistic studies thus not only suggest an African origin for cattle domestication, but also provide a precise time frame and geographicallocation which, generally speaking, fits well with that proposed by the CPE (Combined Prehistoric Expedition). A further element which might give support to the matter comes from the archaeological record, namely the pottery. To sum up, Nubia is Egypt’s African ancestor. What linked Ancient Egypt to the rest of the North African cultures is this strong tie with the Nubian pastoral nomadic lifestyle, the same pastoral background commonly shared by most of the ancient Saharan and modern sub-Saharan societies. Thus, not only did Nubia have a prominent role in the origin of Ancient Egypt, it was also a key area for the origin of the entire African pastoral tradition." --Gatto M. 2009. The Nubian Pastoral Culture as Link between Egypt and Africa A View from the Archaeological Record. British Archaelogical Reports: Egypt in its African Context: BAR S2204- Archaeopress. 21-29 "Genetic continuum of the Nubians with their kin in southern Egypt is indicated by comparable frequencies of E-V12 the predominant M78 subclade among southern Egyptians." [Hassan et al. Y-chromosome variation.." Am J. Phy Anthro. v137,3. 316-323 "Overall, when the Egyptian crania are evaluated in a Near Eastern (Lachish) versus African (Kerma, Jebel Moya, Ashanti) context) the affinity is with the Africans. The Sudan and Palestine are the most appropriate comparative regions which would have 'donated' people, along with the Sahara and Maghreb. Archaeology validates looking to these regions for population flow (see Hassan 1988)... Egyptian groups showed less overall affinity to Palestinian and Byzantine remains than to other African series, especially Sudanese." S. O. Y. Keita, "Studies and Comments on Ancient Egyptian Biological Relationships," History in Africa 20 (1993) 129-54 "A biological affinities study based on frequencies of cranial nonmetric traits in skeletal samples from three cemeteries at Predynastic Naqada, Egypt, confirms the results of a recent nonmetric dental morphological analysis. Both cranial and dental traits analyses indicate that the individuals buried in a cemetery characterized archaeologically as high status are significantly different from individuals buried in two other, apparently non-elite cemeteries and that the non-elite samples are not significantly different from each other. A comparison with neighboring Nile Valley skeletal samples suggests that the high status cemetery represents an endogamous ruling or elite segment of the local population at Naqada, which is more closely related to populations in northern Nubia than to neighboring populations in southern Egypt. " T. Prowse, and N. Lovell "Concordance of cranial and dental morphological traits and evidence for endogamy in ancient Egypt" American journal of physical anthropology. 1996, vol. 101, no2, pp. 237-246 (2 p.1/4) Meanwhile modern Egyptians (especially towards the North) have been especially mixed since the Islamic expansion. They're accurate picture of how khemet would've looked like? I'm sure people that looked like modern Egyptians were there, but not as commonplace. The level of mixture we see in Modern Egypt wasn't like that in ancient times.
