[QUOTE]Originally posted by Evergreen: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [qb] 1945 Ahmad Batrawi [QUOTE]Since early neolithic times there existed two distinct but closely related types, a northern in Middle Egypt and a southern in Upper Egypt. The southern Egyptians were distinguished from the northerners by a smaller cranial index, a larger nasal index and greater prognathism. The geographical distinction between the two groups continued during the Pre-Dynastic Period. The Upper Egyptians, however, spread into lower Nubia during that period. By the beginning of the Dynastic era the northern Egyptian type is encountered for the first time in the Thebaïd, i.e., in the southern territory. The incursion, however, seems to have been transitory and the effects of the co-existence of the two types in one locality remained very transient until the 18th Dynasty. From this time onwards the northern type prevailed all over Egypt, as far south as Denderah, till the end of the Roman period. In Lower Nubia a slight infiltration of negroid influence is observed during the Middle Kingdom times. In the New Empire period, however, the southern Egyptian type prevails again. After the New Empire a fresh and much stronger negro influence becomes discernable till the end of the Roman period.[/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]Thank you for sharing this abstract Oshun. What is your assessment of the general Egyptian population during the Greco-Roman period as it pertains to them being of indigenous African origins and/or Black? Also, what does it mean to be African and/or Black? thanks [/QB][/QUOTE]
