Why do modern Egypt arabs pretend to be the descendants

>>2006547
but they are. ethnic identities sometimes have little to do with real blood ties and more to do with religion and culture

>>2006561
Well, Ancient egyptians and Arabs don't have the same religion and their culture is really different. In what point are they similar?

Do they?

>>2006573
after they were conquered. then they adopted Islam, with knowledge of arabic being important for that and for advancing in a society under the control of arabs until the fall of the Umayyad caliphate. they didn't disappear after the arabs invaded, nor was every man killed and every woman raped. even in this scenario they'd still have genetic ties to the ancient egyptians

>>2006547
Do you think the Arabs came in and slaughtered every Egyptian alive?

>>2006595
The percentage of modern egyptians having Ancient Egypt blood is somewhere 5%.

>>2006600
what exactly is your sample for this?

>>2006603
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_history_of_Egypt

>>2006616
i don't see that in wikipedia article. on the studies on modern egyptians it talks about them sharing paternal lineages with north african and middle eastern populations but that these ties date back to the neolithic and predynastic periods.

>>2006547
My friend is a coptic christian. They're one of the oldest ethnic groups in Egypt and he looks brown people.

>>2006547
Because genetically they mostly are?

>>2006600
There was a study, which I cannot find right now, that there is only 5-8% difference of modern to ancient Egyptians in authosomal dna. Which is the same as other European populations compared to their ancestors living in the same area.

Why is it that retards on this board seem to think that every invasion is followed by genocide and complete population replacement?

My personal theory is that its a combination of Amerifats projecting their own history with native americans and an ability to understand cultural shifts.

And for the record, OP, modern Egyptians are the descendants of ancient Egyptians,like it or not. A small army of Bedouin nomads do not genetically replace a massive settled population of thousands of years

Video games I think.

Same reason why Italians pretend to be the descendants of Rome, or greeks the descendants of ancient greeks.

>>2007189
Despite differences that happened they still bear most important part of their lineage, language.
Egyptian arabs might descent from Cheops, but they have very few things in common with ancient egyptians.

Are you retarded? Latin sounds nothing like current italian, although if you read it as an italian very slowly, it makes sense. Same with greek - ancient greek is completely different sounding

When it comes to egyptian, it's part of the semetic languages, so it wasn't that huge of a jump for the locals there.

Are you? Languages evolve, theres no language in world that stood static for w thousand years.

Please at least look at wikipedia page at least while posting something you know nothing about, its afro-asiatic not semitic.
They diverged before indo-european languages even existed.

>>2006547
In Tourism: yes.
In everyday life? No.

Egyptians associate with their Arabic/Coptic culture more than Khemet or some shit. Which was already dead by the time the first Ayyrabs came to Egypt.

>>2007228
>its afro-asiatic not semitic.

what fucking group is semitic from, numbnuts?

>>2007234
My head hurts from reading your post.
Egyptian is part of Afro-Asiatic group, semitic languages belong to same language group.
Now read your fucking post you stupid fuck >>2007217.

you're literally the definition of an autist. there's no point arguing with you

Great argument there

>>2006561
yes, and now they adopt islam and speak arabic

>>2006561
>have little to do with real blood ties
Someone being a descendant have everything to do with that.

>>2007095
Then why was ancient Egypt so great and modern Egypt so shit?

>>2006573
they are the same people who just worship different god and speak different language

1. by far not all modern egyptians consider themselves the descendants of ancient egypt. that heritage is rejected by muslim fundamentalists whose primary source of identity is being muslim and who therefore don't feel connected to ancient pagans and it is rejected by arab nationalists who were very strong in the 20th century during the nasser years but are now diminishing. arab nationalists see egyptians as arabs primarily and consider the ancient egyptians foreign to them. the only group that consistently identifies with ancient egypt is the copts since they want to differentiate themselves from muslims and associate arab identity with islam. they also have an actual claim to cultural continuity with ancient egypt since ancient egyptians converted to christianity in late antiquity.

2. genetically modern egyptians are the descendants of ancient egyptians. arab conquerors, though culturally influential were numerically far inferior to the natives

3. ancient egypt is held in high regard in the west and since western countries have been the most powerful in the world for a long time, their standards have been imposed on the world at large. even people with anti-western sympathies are influenced by the cultural power of western evaluations. that is why many modern egyptians come to identify with the ancient egyptians, so they can claim their prestige in front of the global public
