I know there has been a lot of controversy on this site in regards to what race the ancient Egyptions were.....

and I just wanted to share a few facts on the matter that I have discovered. This should clear up a few things.

I found this on Yahoo answers by a guy called Clyde N so thanks Clyde.

Egyptians(Modern and Ancient) with the exception of the Black Nubians/people of Kemit(southern lower 1/4 of Egypt and the Sudan) conquered by the Arabs(Middle Eastern), are Semitic White like the closely related Jews(Middle Eastern), as proven by both DNA tests(haplo groups) on mummies and modern Egyptians(Semitic White) and Nubian Egyptians(Black) as well as skeletal points and measurements(mainly the skull).

The Black Nubians made pacts with the Arabs to be Pharoahs to avoid total annihilation. For about a hundred years, there were Black Nubian Egyptian Dynasties. The Arabs gave Egypt(Arabic-since 5,000 B.C.) its name.

The different skin colors of the Egyptians on walls demonstrates the differences in the two ethinicities. King TUT has many facial features of an ethnic mix(half Arab Semitic White/half Nubian Black), often represented anywhere from a golden brown color to a Black color, like Anwar Sadat(father- Egyptian Arab Semitic White-mother-Black Sudanese) denied this until shortly before his death.

Many of the people on wall art are, in fact, Black Nubian Egyptian slaves(also some free) as well as peoples of other ethnic backgrounds(small sampling of the Arabs(Semitic Whites) and other peoples(Blacks and other ethinicities and admixtures):

Most Arabs (Semitic White) have swarthy olive-colored(golden brown) skin like some European Whites-Iranians/Persians-IndoEuropean Aryans(are NOT Arab although speak Arabic and many are Muslim) as in Hitler, Greeks, Italians, southern Germans and so on. Because of this, many uninformed refuse to believe Arabs are Caucasian.

MODERN ETHNIC SAMPLINGS OF ARAB(SEMITIC WHITES)

Arab(Semitic Whites) Americans: Famous Arab Americans of Lebanese ancestry-Selma Hayek(FATHER-Lebanese- MOTHER - Mexican), Shakira(FATHER-Lebanese-MOTHER - Columbian), Casey Kasum(Lebanese),late Danny Thomas(Lebanese-daughter Marlo-FATHER-Lebanese-MOTHER- Italian), Ralph Nader, (Lebanese), Samir Benut(Lebanese), bodybuilder, Paul Anka(Lebanese), Jamie Farr(Lebanese), Klinger of "Mash" fame,the late Dr. Michael E. DeBakey (Lebanese), world reknowned heart surgeon and artificial heart developer, Joe Jamail, (Lebanese) internationally known lawyer millionaire, philanthropist, Carlos Slim(although born in Mexico-both parents were Lebanese), at times, world's richest billionaire and well-known philanthropist,the late Kahlil Gibran(Lebanese),world famous poet-JFK used the quote "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."-from one of his works, and many others.-Proud Arab American(Lebanese heritage).

Egypt's current population is 65% Arab Semitic White and 35 % (Black/Arab Semitic White admixture,Black, and smaller amounts of other ethinicities versus the U.S.'s 70% Whites(all backgrounds) and 30% other ethinicities.

Those giving the thumbs down, the above are very easily verified and NOT based on whims and hearsay.

Congratulations, to those better informed whom answered correctly.

Egyptians are Arab,Semitic(includes the closely related Jews) versus European White, Middle Eastern(not just Arabs), and Caucasian, but are NOT BLACK. Blacks like in the U.S., are born there, and live there, but they are not Arabs. No apologies to those who want to claim otherwise-YOU are the one that needs to apologize.

I never hear any arguements from the thumbs down. I would love to hear your reasoning other than skin color. Do you also consider the southern Germans, Black to-many are as dark as, and, could even pass, as Arabs?Blacks calling Egyptians Black is akin to the Indians calling America Indian-it is NOT so.

Arabs(Semitic Whites) are Egypt's National ethinicity.

Oh yeah, and to the Bahama's guy, I did say I would provide an answer for you when I couldn't answer you before, well here it is.
