[edit] Egyptians are Egyptians?
I thought that they were supposed to be arabs? With ALL of the mixing that took place over the last 6,000 years and their current identity as arabs, explain what an Egyptian is. Talk about politics...--71.235.81.39 14:52, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hamitic
Isn't Hamitic a controversial, scientifically discredited term? At least by what I can read from the corresponding page.
- I agree. The term hamitic not only lacks scientific meaning, but it is mostly associated with the "scientific" justification of colonialism from the 19th century. The term hamitic only has a linguistic meaning now, and even there it is being put out of use in favor of a georgrahical sub categorization within the Afro-Asiatic family of languages. There is no such thing as a hamitic, or for that matter semitic race.--Karmish 23:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Population of Egypt: real numbers?
Hello! I corrected the 76 million value to 74 million so it is consistent with the Egypt article; the value in that page was 68 million in the text, but 74. something in the stats on the top of the page. Somebody please correct if this 74 million value is wrong. Thanks! le_natch 23:01, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] About Arabc
i hope everybody don't mix between the "Arabs" and the "Arab Nationalism"
because the arabs is ethnic group came from marriage betwen Egyptian Girl "Hager" and "Abraham" From (Currenty Iraq).
But the Arab nationalism is just a culture gather various people, many ethnic groups under the arabic speaking flag , we see sudan people belong to arab nationalism however they are not arab, also people in morocco, algeria, syria and somalia . so we are Egyptians ethnic but in the political concept Arabs under the ideology of arab nationalism —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.233.43.26 (talk) 06:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
you might need to add that most of egyptions living in egypt now are infact descendants to persians,roman,ottomans,assyrians that invaded egypt for the last 2000 years so calling them a direct descendants of ancient egyptions is not true as most egyptions today has more genetic similarities with west asian people than ancient egyptions.
