  1. Their actually referred to as Egyptian, but its like a middle eastern/ Arabian look...


  2. they are mixed like America but the original ones were black and they wore wigs to make them look more Indian

  3. they are primarly caucasoid/mediterranean with a small amount of neegroid mix.

  4. Egypt is, and was, a "melting pot"...

    It's primarily a mixture of Caucasoid and Neegroid, but there is some evidence of ancient Cro-magnon DNA in its gene pool!

  5. Human

  6. About 90% Caucasian, 10% sub Saharan African in total.

    Southern Egyptians are about 50% sub Saharan African, it's about 2% near the Mediterranean coast.

    I own't bore you with the DNA studies. But about half of the Caucasian DNA is Semitic, about half is Berber (North African indigenous Caucasians). Judging by the bones, it doesn't seem to have been any different over the last 8,000 years or so.

  7. Nationality, Egyptian

    Continent of origin, Africa, so that makes them Africans

    Race, Human

    What more is there, than the obvious?

    If they were straight up Europeans,  they would look like my family members. No one in my family has ever left Holland. And only one cousin married outside of the group...to an Ethiopian woman. And all those kids have big brown eyes but are blonde of hair, and have their fathers skin tone.  But even they don't look Egyptian. Straight up Europeans, who have lived and never left Europe, don't look like Egyptians at all. Some American whites might because they are all mixed with West African, Native Americans, Sicilians, and Chinese people. That is why Americans have mostly brown eyes, with dark hair. In my country, they are mostly light of hair with blue, grey and violet eyes. My skin can tan  because 1200 yrs ago to 1500 yrs ago, I had a black skinned North African in my gene pool.When the sun comes out, I am very tan. When it's not there, I look very Northern. Luckily, I do not have thick pink blotchy skin. No one in my family or around me does. I just look Northern.  I think everyone in my town shares my ancestry because we all have the same features. Tourists cannot tell one from the other. I took one of those ancestry tests , it came back 0.0008% Subsaharan African. The rest is Northern European.  But I have an adopted cousin from Eritrea and she is African black and  is as pretty as the girls in my town. We are gradually getting some Africans over here.Mostly Somali and Ethiopians.  I certainly like their features. In a  couple hundred years, we will have more natural brunettes than blondes. Now it's like a 22:1 ration, 12 being light of hair, in my town. But blending takes time I guess.
