My point was that just because Eqypt was conquered by Arab Muslim armies did not change the ethic attributes of most Egyptians that much, and therefore most Egyptians and most Coptic Christians will be similarly related to ancient Egyptians but the Coptic Christians not more so.
as an undergrad, i had an egyptian copt for egyptian hierogylphics, coptic, hieratic, and demotic.
he was olive skinned.
he spoke english very poorly.
For most of human history, Northern Africa was much more closely tied to Europe than it was to the rest of the African continent. It wasn't until the two forces of Muhammed and later Charlemagne that people started thinking of North Africa as not being a part of Europe.
I agree....though many people from these armies settled in Egypt and progeny. The Copts were less likely to be descended from these Arab armies and thus the most likely (even more likely that the Jews) to resemble Ancient Egyptians both in appearance and genetically.
That's "had progeny."
Did you see the comments on the righthand portion of the web page?
BIZARRO WORLD.
Actually, I saw a movie from the early thirties. Tut looked like an Englishman named Boris Karloff. Maybe they had the same mum-my.
Which one is the Asian? Two of the four look to have heavy beards and the other two look black.
Liybans have the same incident for red-hair today as the Irish.
So now does this mean that we are going to call King Tut a Celt? Hell, why not? It'd give my boys something to aspire to.
Thanks for posting the picture. I was going to do the same thing. I visited the Berlin museum, which houses the bust. I bought a reproduction.
LOL! I see Karloff on the left but who's that on the right? Tut or Moms Mabley?
de nada.
Should you be posting National Vanguard(white racist) material on FR and is it that credible?
On second thought, the source may be disgusting, but the information I'm looking at I've seen from other sources.
I had no idea what National Vanguard was. I googled the info and this was the first source I came up with, which coincided with what I have read and heard elsewhere. I was actually looking for a Harvard anthropology professor (couldn't recall her name) whom I saw on C-SPAN a number of years ago who debunked some of the myths perpetuated by these African-American studies "history" courses.
I am not a racist nor do I have any tolerance for those who are, white or black. Thanks for pointing this out to me about National Vanguard.
Uh dude, the Caucasus is on the eastern side of the Black Sea, flanked on the other (eastern) side by the Caspian Sea, Greece is the southern end of the Balkan Penninsula, projecting into the Mediterranean Sea.
There are or were Greeks in the Caucasus but to the best of my knowledge those ties go back to Greek traders, pirates and explorers (the distinction wasn't always clear, more a matter of opportunity than anything else) from the Med., ie., from West to East, not from East to West.
No wait a minute didn't Steve "Tut" Martin give his lineage in the Jerk? Maybe he was black after all and these "historians" are on to something!!!
