exactly.. even our arabic dialect is soo different from the other arabic dialects.. the ancient egyptian language was unique.. it developed on its own... did u know that egyptians sailed to south america and back.. i just read that.. they sailed to south america .. stayed for a bit and went back.. maybe that explains the pyramids there

This voyage would have probably been made up of mostly Phoenicians with a considerable number of Egyptians. This voyage also probably never happened.

The Phoenicians did sail around the western bulge of Africa, though, I believe.

I think the Egyptians can be considered a local race. They've had so much time to develop in the Nile Valley that it isn't any wonder that they differ from their Capsian Berber brethren in the Maghreb slightly. How different are the two groups? Also, the Egyptians interacted constantly with all sorts of races, so wasn't that a bad setup for a localized race?

ya i know what you mean.. the voyages are a theory.. but its weird how the mayans etc did have pyramids but none to same massive measurement of the pyramid of cheops.. which i almost fainted in btw. but im sure the egyptians were busy in their area... ya btw alexandrian there is this theory i once read that copts were originally syrian christians who left syria to egypt for some kind of situation in syria and settled into egypt calling themselves egyptian or something.. ill find u the site

I think it would make more sense for the Egyptians to be related to the Berbers (fellow Hamites) to the west rather than the Semites to the east. I wonder if the small features is due to simple gracilization or if it is due to admixture with Orientalids from Arabia. It seems like only genetics could solve such a question. I'm not sure whether we're closer to Maghrebians or other Mid Easterners. Culturally, politically and to an extent ethnically, I think Egyptians associate themselves more with other Middle Eastern nations than other North African nations. But I don't know if that's genetic. The hooked nose and convex nose isn't rare at all among Egyptians, though straight or convex are probably most prevalent.

maybe mike should tell u about the thread.. but yes i agree that egyptians consider themselves closer to middle easterners than berbers.. culturally, linguistically and on the outward look of life.. i could easily go live in lebanon and fit in and feel at home then in morocco or tunisia..

did u know that egyptians sailed to south america and back.. i just read that.. they sailed to south america .. stayed for a bit and went back.. maybe that explains the pyramids there I've heard that Native Americans might have had some connection/association, not necessarily genetically, with the ancient Egyptians due to certain similarities found in their artwork. But supposedly they brought this knowledge with them 1000 of years ago when they first populated the Americas, and not passed by Egyptian explorers just a couple of hundred years ago. ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

So their goes your crazy theory.

Phoenicians were vassals to the ancient Egyptians and were employed by the AEs as sea merchants as a form of tribute.
