As far as the various foreign groups that took over Egypt. Is there any info that can tell us how much these people changed the makeup of the ancient Egyptian population? How many of those foreign groups settled in Egypt? What were their numbers in comparison to the native Egyptian population?
The term, "foreign" in the modern sense is perhaps not applicable to ancient Egypt (or Kemet, if you prefer) because the society built up as a result of a great number of people from all over North Africa, all of whom were fleeing the desertification that was making their former homelands uninhabitable. What existed in Egypt was a strong sense of culture and anyone from anywhere could become Egyptian if they spoke the language (which was itself split into dialects, apparently) and adopted the accepted cultural mores. Note that when the Ptolemies took over in around 300 BCE, they had themselves depicted in an Egyptian art style, even though they were, of course, Greek. This was seen as essential for their acceptance. (it didn't quite work, in their case) Going right back to the Old Kingdom, there was the tendency to bring back large numbers of "prisoners of war" from areas both to the north and to the south of Egypt and make them into Egyptians as a labour force was always welcome and people were often only too happy to move to Egypt as the standard of living would have been higher than in other regions. The upshot of this is that the population was probably in a constant state of flux as contingents from various vassal states settled there and adopted local language and customs. Even the royal families were not all from the same regions. The 18th dynasty were Theban (southern) but the 19th were from the northern delta. Egypt appears to us as this coherent state but that is largely due to geographical factors, it was very hard to invade or attack the region en masse, but the constant comings and goings of those engaged in trade and who then opted to settle would have population showing highly disparate backgrounds.
@@jahuti5065 I've brought up foreign rulers on Twitter. The general view is that despite Egypt being taken over by various foreign groups the native Egyptian population was always much larger than any settlers from the foreign group. So those settlers would get absorbed into the much larger native Egyptian population. So this kept foreigners from significantly changing the Egyptian population.
I have seen some results of LIDAR, a process that lifts buildings and vegetation to see the topography of land, including clear man-made changes. It is expensive ... maybe it will help locate Thinis and other lost sites in the near future. :)
yes, that can certainly help. But sadly its still not easy since different layers and sediment can give false data impressions, but it is a (more or less) new tool that could really help in finding and evaluating things like this.
Lidar works because it can differentiate between the actual ground or rock and all of the vegetation and loose stuff above, which is perfect for uncovering Mayan cities under the jungle. However, Egypt and the Middle East are barren, and here optical images at various wavelengths from the air or from satellites are most helpful, as well as microwave and other electromagnetic or radioactive probing techniques on the surface.

This was excellent! It's good that archeologists from Europe and the United States continue to be fascinated by ancient Egypt. But the documentary that moved me most in recent years was Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb on Netflix, of all places, because the entire team were Egyptians. The sheer excitement of everyone, at every level of the team was palpable and infectious. Well, of course it was! It's *their* country. It's *their* history 😂
