Egyptians are Egyptians, not Arabs [Video]

It is true that the whole Arab thing is a complete joke. Did the Arabs build the pyramids?? The most prominent thing they seemed to have had was a black stone and now they are trying to make everyone kneel and worship it!

Those of Yemen have unique genetic markers that are distinct from those of Arabia proper ~ who are a mixture of African, Persian and Armenian descent ~ the descendants of traders and others crossing from the Near East to Africa and back. Nothing exciting there!

But with the Egyptians and even the Berber tribes as far away as Morocco calling themselves Arab ~ they give up their own power. Instead of operating as independent nations ~ guided by self determination they relinquish that to Arabia. Most end up backward satellites in their total devotion to idea of a supreme Arabia.

Whether the Egyptians looked the same over the 1,000's of years is of little relevance. There would have been an influx of people from the north after it was conquered by Alexander the Great and its control under Rome. But Spain ~ in part ~ was controlled by Muslims [mainly Syrians] for 700 years ~ far longer than Morocco/ Algeria ~ where they were controlled only for 150 years on and off ~ before they finally chucked them out ~ but it is the Moroccans who call themselves Arabs and those of Spain who reclaimed their heritage and proudly call themselves Spaniards.

Modern Egyptians are not Arabs, DNA studies on Egyptian men have shown them to have a higher level of Africa-specific Y chromosomes than Ethiopians and men from Cameroon. Less than 10% of their ancestry is from the Arab occupation. DNA studies on mummies at Dakleh oasis show that there is actually more black maternal ancestry in Egyptians now than before Christ was born, showing a large population inflow from the Arab slave trade in black Africans which lasted hundreds of years. If anything, Egyptians are a little darker now than before.

Copts didn't intermarry with Arabs or take slave wives. The best idea of what an ancient Egyptian looked like is a modern Coptic Egyptian. They still speak Egyptian in their religious services.
