As a whole, do Egyptians look more similar to Turks or Pakistanis?

[Tooting Carmen]

btw don't get me wrong lol i'm not owd XD just saying specifying it with a percentage is ridiculous because i'm sure a turk or a georgian or a armenian can pass better in balkans (especially east balkan) or southern europe than a irish or norwegian.

Compared to Norwegians and other Scandinavians absolutely. Compared to the Irish and British, however, is more debatable, given the high number of brunettes and to some extent quasi-Med types they themselves have.

neither, but more as pakistani. some ssa mixed types of egyptians closer to some pakistani types but some egyptians looks just mediterranean, this type egyptians can pass better as turkish imo.

Makes sense.

In terms of having shitty racialist colonialist views, TC owes the world a second coming out.

that you're a good bloke but still somewhat racialist.

I am interested in differences between races and nations, but unlike quite a few other people in this forum I don't believe in there being a hierarchy of any sort between them.

Depends on the type of Egyptian, no?

Funnily enough, the only "Egyptians" I'd seen as a teen, were on tv, and one of them was from The Mummy ("sons of the pharaohs!") - Dr. Bey, played by Erick Avari. I found out he wasn't even Egyptian, but born in Bengal (Darjeeling, West Bengal).

A few years back, I met an actual Egyptian guy, a Christian Coptic. And he looked EXACTLY like Erick Avari. Lol!

Funnily enough, he thought I was Coptic, too!

Anyway, the other Egyptian I'd seen was Omar Sharif and he looked VERY Pakistani.


So, as far as the topic goes, I'd say closer to Pakistani than Turkish but then, weird subgroups can look very, VERY different.

Yeah, I read that. Fascinating stuff ... His family have been in Bengal for longer than mine! lol
He looks really Semitic, no? I thought he was well cast as an Egyptian museum curator in The Mummy.
