[QUOTE]Originally posted by Candice Lynn Potter: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [qb] This is not necessarily the case, the various Muslim geographers, please dont insult them by calling them "Arabs" differed on their classification on Bilad Es Sudan, some considered various Berbers, Egyptians and other North Africans as part of Sudan... Check here.. http://egyptsearchreloaded.proboards.com/thread/1148/bilad-sudan-included-parts-egypt Also... http://egyptsearchreloaded.proboards.com/thread/1074/north-south-relationship-mahgreb-sudan [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/Dead/Krom/Atlantid: [qb] [QUOTE] And here's my question to you, if Upper Egyptians are blacks, why did Arabs only give the name bilād as-sūdān (بلاد السودان), or "the lands of the Blacks", to Sudan and not (Upper) Egypt? [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]Looks dubious. The first claim on that link is based on the word Guechet meaning at-wahal -'the oases' and then tries to identify it with an Egyptian oasis. However - "The origin and meaning of the name Guechet is less clear. Editors of the modern French translation of Leo' Description (1956) suggested that is refers to Awdaghust... Awdaghust was vividly described by al-Bakri; in a late ninth-century Arabic source it was called 'Ghust'." - some scholarly text on google books anyone could find within 5 seconds of searching for this. The afronut on ESreloaded of course choose to not mention it. If Guechet is Awdaghust as editors of a modern (French) translation point out then it has nothing to do with Egypt. Furthermore, Awdaghust is the same latitude as Sudan, not Egypt. I don't see any evidence that Bilad Es Sudan refers to lands above the tropic of cancer. [/QB][/QUOTE]
