[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Asar Imhotep: [QB] Everyone who claims that Beja or Afar are the "closest" to the ancient Egyptians almost NEVER ever say so based on an actual linguistic analysis. Why do people make this claim and can't lay down a basic comparative analysis of the languages? You guys need to stop making stuff up and do some actual work for once. Just a random comparison of some basic vocabulary words shows that Beja (for example) is not closely related to Egyptian: As we can see here, there are no patterns. This will continue the more words we can compare. Just because we can probably place the Beja in ancient Kemet, doesn't mean that they are the "Egyptians" any more than the Chinese are Native Americans because they have citizenship here. We got to do better.[/QUOTE]you say there is a strong relationship between Egyptian and Bantu language. Why aren't more professorial linguists and professional Egyptologists supporting that? Is it just racism? Also what is Mario Beatty's position on this? Also do you think there is an ethnic groups today that is closest to the ancient Egyptians or is it just generally native Egyptians?
