The origin of an ancient Egyptian man
There are many opinions that differed about the origin of the ancient Egyptian person, so some believe that the ancient Egyptian person is of a protective origin or a mixture between the Semites and the protectors, and there is also another opinion that says the Negro influence is the strongest influence on the ancient Egyptians, as there is a link between the ancient Egyptian person and the Caucasian race.
Studies on opinions on the origins of ancient Egyptian people
During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, many opinions about the origin of ancient Egyptian man were studied by many scholars who took an interest in ancient Egyptian civilization, historians, Egyptologists, and natural anthropologists, and used in their studies the images and writings of ancient historians, sacred books and measures of the remains of ancient Egyptian skulls and skeletons And also the studies that were evaluated about customs and traditions and linking them to other ancient civilizations.
In spite of all those studies that have been conducted on the origin of the ancient Egyptian man, no one of the scholars has reached a definitive conclusion stating the origins of the ancient Egyptian person, and all the results are the jurisprudence of scholars, no more than that.
UNESCO conference on the origin of ancient Egyptian human
Where in the year 1974 AD, UNESCO held in Cairo a conference on the topic “The Origin of the Ancient Egyptians” and it proved that this topic still needs many studies and multiple research in order to reach satisfactory and inevitable results about the origin of the ancient Egyptians and also the trend to study the multiple migrations from and to Egypt.
It should be examined to what extent Egypt is affected by African customs and traditions and other customs, and that the issue needs to seek the assistance of what will be done in the future from historical and archeological studies related to the Arabian Peninsula, including the eastern and southern regions.
Stone Age
It is possible to say that the ancient Stone Age, that is, since the earliest historical times for prehistoric times, the ancient Egyptians lived in deserts, but after the rainy era and drought had passed, the man fled to the valley to seek refuge and shelter for him, where he was forced to reside on the banks of the Nile.
And it is very difficult to know which race this ancient Egyptian man belongs to and we cannot know whether this element of the population continued in his life among those who lived in the Nile Valley at the beginning of the Neolithic period or not? It is possible that if some human elements existed at the beginning of the Neolithic period, then they must have merged with the elements of new immigrants and human strains of various types and shapes.
Some scholars believe that a period of drought has arrived in North Africa at the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic era, where races of various kinds and their origins had to move to places with valleys and waters to know about living and this period is undoubtedly the first real stability of the ancient Egyptian man.
The different races of the population of ancient Egypt
It can be said that since the Stone Age, the highest period and the beginning of the dynastic era, and there were many different races representing the population of Egypt, including African and Nubian races with which some of the Hamitic and Semitic elements were mixed with, and these inhabitants had never changed over thousands of years until now there are some features that characterize the people of Upper Egypt since the ancient Egyptian element.
Based on the above opinions, we can say that the majority of the population of Egypt at the beginning of the dynastic era were of African descent, although they are white skin, as this is not new. There are many Africans with white skin and black skin, not all of them were black skin, as some belief.
As for the garrison elements, on the one hand, and the Semitic, on the other hand, that we're able to mix with the indigenous people, their numbers were not large, as it was able to change the general appearance and characteristics of the population.
The descendants of the delta were distinguished by the elongation of the head and the moderation of stature. As for Upper Egypt, the descendants of the population were characterized by a somewhat sympathetic display of the face of the delta residents, the strength of the jaw, and the emergence of the eyebrow bones and the length of the stature, and this is a difference between the two strains, even though they are all ancient Egyptians.
