FB Post of 3 April 2021 of Mohamed Metwaly

Because of the stealers of history and civilizations who claim that the present Egyptian people are not the heirs of the ancient Egyptians, and rumors of this kind, which unfortunately some of us believe.

The recent scientific studies on DNA, anthropometric measurement (measurement of the dimensions of the human body), eye, hair, skin, and teeth measurements etc., it became clear that despite all the occupations and foreign migrations to Egypt throughout history, the vast majority of Egyptians today retain the same genetic characteristics as the ancient Egyptians.

The greatest credit for the results was that of the ancient Egyptian mummies, which preferred to preserve the genetic traits of the ancient Egyptians for thousands of years, as if it were a complete anthropological museum standing as a wall against any attempt to spread any fairy stories about the origins of the Egyptians. It is possible to summarize the detailed results of these studies in the following lines:

1- The vast majority of the current Egyptians, at a rate (77.3%) at least, carry the same genetic characteristics as the ancient Egyptians.

2- As for the genetic traits belonging to the peoples of the Near East, their percentage is about (10.3%), and they are divided into two groups:

The first group (Arabs – Jews – Turks – Kurds – Iran – Iraq – Jordan – Palestine – Syria – Lebanon … etc.), so its percentage (combined) among the Egyptian people, despite all immigration and invasions, is not more than (5.2%).
This confirms the words of al-Maqrizi, who lived at the time of the rule of the Mamluks (who was not Arabs) and died in the year 1422 CE in his book “The Statement and the Expression of the Arabs in the Land of Egypt “When he said: “know that the Arabs who witnessed the conquest of Egypt were wiped out by time and the conditions of most of their wake were ignored, and remnants of the Arabs have remained in the land of Egypt” (meaning the Arab tribes currently in Egypt).

The second group (southern Europe, Greece – Turkey … etc.), its percentage is about (5.1%)

3- As for the European genetic characteristics (Western Europe – Italy “the Romans” – the French – the English etc.), their percentage is about (5.5%). The remaining percentage (6.9%) is distributed on different genetic traits from different origins with no specific origin.

That means they are present all over the world, but their origin is unknown. Below is an illustration graph.

4 – The distribution of blood groups in Egypt in the current era shows that the population groups are completely homogeneous, and there are no statistically significant differences between Muslims and Christians, comparative examinations of the head and body measurements (skin – hair – eyes – teeth etc.) always reach identical results.

5- The first Egyptians were in their land from the Pleistocene era about 15,000 years ago, (to a very large degree) influenced by invasions or migrations. At presents, the Egyptians are the Egyptians, as they were thousands of years ago.

6- The basic genotypes of the Egyptians from thousands of years until today are all African.

7 – Egypt, by virtue of its geography that left it naturally isolated, was able to establish and solidify a basic genetic anthropological basis that lasted for thousands of years without any change or being influenced by any foreign peoples (this is evident in all the drawings , mummies and statues throughout the period of the ancient Egyptian civilization which is evident in the results of all recent research and studies of the genetic traits of modern Egyptians.

8- Therefore, on this basic, which was at least 4500 years before Christianity and 5000 years before Islam took its final and distinctive form before the existence of Muslims, Christians or others. It is sufficient because it fuses into its atmosphere any genetic traits of expatriate in any subsequent stage as a result of conquest or migration, especially since the migrations that took place in Egypt. The most famous of which are the migrations of the Arab tribes that were always in negligible numbers compared to the numbers of the original Egyptians

9 – The genetic characteristics that may appear strange to the Egyptians, such as white skin, smooth hair and moderate size of the nose, not new traits for Egyptians. These traits have already existed for thousands of years. I mean, they do not necessarily have to be the result of intermarriage with other peoples. for example, we will encounter many among these characteristics in dozens of statues and mummies that are still present until today.

10- The tribes in Egypt are not only from the Arabian Peninsula, but also from the Berbers (Libya – Morocco – Tunisia), who came to Egypt at the time of the Fatimid State and returned again in greater numbers in the 18th century and concentrated in the Western Sahara. So that, some scholars believe that more Bedouins Egypt is one of the Moroccans, not one of the Arabs of the Peninsula other than the Nubians who recently arrived in Egypt.

11 – In some studies, the percentage of retaining the same genetic characteristics for the ancient Egyptians reached 90% (Frank Yurco, ‘An Egyptological Review’ in Mary R. Lefkowitz and Guy MacLean Rogers. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1996. p. 62-100.)

SCIENTIFIC CERTIFICATES:

The scientist “Stephen Kohn”, a natural anthropologist, says in his book ‘The Races of Europe’, “ancient Egypt must remain the most prominent example known in history and until now of a naturally isolated region in which the types of indigenous local nationalities were allowed to proceed on their way for several thousand years without being affected at all by foreign contacts.”

The words of “Cosmos” are confirmed by the well-known scientist and archaeologist “Broderick” in his book “The Tree of Human History” and he says, “it is clear, throughout the last six thousand years or more, that there has not been any noticeable change in the appearance of all Egyptians. The Barbarians, the people of the first and second Naqada civilizations, the Egyptians of the families, and the peasants that we see working in the fields today are all of the same basic average pattern.”

As for the anthropologist and expert in anatomy, Arthur Keith, in his book ‘A New Theory of Human Evolution’, he confirms the genetic continuity of the Egyptians are “the peasants that we see forming the body of the nation today are the direct descendants of the peasants in the year 3300 BC.”
He further said “Egyptians are not only a nation, the oldest political nation in history, but they are also a gender in every sense of the word. But there is no such thing as sexual purity in general. Rather, we cannot go so far as to say that there is no people, no matter how isolated or isolated, except when they are mixed. No doubt, one degree or another and if the Egyptian sexual pattern has been characterized by stability.

As for the Egyptian scholar “Solomon Sad” in his book, History of Egyptian Civilization: The Pharaonic Era, he concluded with the same results and says “the Arab tribes that migrated in the Arab era to the Lower Nile Valley did not lead to any change in the general composition of the Egyptians as a result of the successive waves of Arabs invasion.”

And in the book “The Arab Tribes in Egypt in the First Three Centuries of Hijra” by Dr. Abdullah Khurshid Al-Barri, in which the Arab strains were monitored before the Arab conquest of Egypt until today, in details with their genealogies, origins and branches also confirms the same results. He says “the general composition of the Egyptians did not change due to the small number of Arabs coming to the total of the Egyptian people.

And this phenomenon we observe in all stages of Egypt’s history, as many different races flocked to the Egyptians and mixed with the Egyptians bloody mingling without this changing the characteristics of the Egyptians nationality. The immigrants were only successful in replenishing the blood of the Egyptians without changing it, as the people did not wait until they were digested and assimilated, and that was one of the factors that the Egyptians kept their vitality through the ages.

The Egyptian biologist and thinker Hussein Fawzi says in his book ‘Sinbad Masri’ that one remaining race of the Egyptian, who was isolated in its fertile valley in the midst of the desert, the plateaus, the mountains and the seas, has preserved its ethnographic character, mostly unblemished, to this day. The peoples that came to Egypt or settled in and shared with its people and mixed with them, were no more than drops of water in the midst of a pure Egyptian mankind.

Gamal Hamdan, in his book The Character of Egypt, says “Egypt has not been subjected primarily to human migrations but to military invasions. It is limited to a purely male movement and therefore melts if it does not appear. And despite the large numbers that poured out of the Arabs in Egypt, and despite the long-term mixing that took place with the Egyptians, this did not change the basic composition of the body or blood of the population.”
