  1. The Ancient Egyptians were not Arabic, today they are. It is sort of like the Aztecs moving into abandoned Mayan city states and being in awe adapted themselves to the culture as they interpreted. But aren't Maysn though they tried to emulate them.


  2. Now. Ancient Egyptians would be considered Hamitic, for the most part.

  3. if you talking about people that LIVE IN EGYPT NOW A DAYS YEAH THERE CONSIDERED ARABS,BUT IF YOUR TALKING ABOUT HISTORICAL PAST NO

  4. Ancient Egypt were Hamitic, probably related to the Canaanites and to the Black peoples of Africa. Their arts, sciences, laws, and technology resembled that of the mainstream Africans.

    Present-day Egypt today are mostly descendants of Arabic-speaking Bedouins who started to control the country following the conquest of Ottoman Empire of Egypt.

    So, Ancient Egypt would not be considered Arabic, but Present-day Egypt would.

  5. No. "Egypt" is the ancient Greek pronounciation of  the ancient Egyptian word 'Hwt-ka-Ptah', ["House of the god Ptah"], and was spelled, by the Greeks 'Aigyptos' or 'Aegyptus'.

    The AE also referred to their land as 'Kmt' or 'Kemet' which roughly meant 'black land' or 'land of the black soil', associated with the rich, black soil, which would cover the areas nearest to the Nile River after its' yearly flood.

  6. I would have to say no.  Their early civilization was very different from that of the rest of the middle east.  If i am correct, they have a little bit of sub saharan blood too.  Kinda like anwar sadat
