The disorder in Egypt is one week old. The police has been beated out of the big cities and the military is waiting while the mobs calm down. The main oposition figure is Al Baraday, a bad man for Israel. Today is a general strike and tomorrow a general meeting has been called in the Liberation Plaza. World leaders are urging Mubarak to leave.
Egypt is an African basket case, feeding its people with pittah bread baked from imported wheat. Its sole sensitive point is the Suez Canal, which moves about 3% of the world oil. Its population base is mulatto (about 40% African genes), which makes for chronic unstability and ungovernability. Egypt may be in for a prolonged transition phase, till the next strongman appears and takes charge. Pic.: Africans in Ancient Egypt.

You should volunteer as the next Egyptian strongman.
You would be good for Israel.
Anon.
I could be vice-pharaoh like Yoseph.

"its population base is mulatto (about 40% African genes)"
Where are you getting that 40% figure from? Dienekes Pontikos' Dodecad project analysis of Egyptian autosomal DNA (based on 23andMe and Behar data, among other sources) shows around 20-25% combined East African and West African for Egyptians.

I feel without any scientific basis that my estimate is more representative. Anyway, we are not going to fight on the exact number.

Is that picture from Arthur Kemp's book?
I dont know. I seems suspiciously fake.
Arthur Kemp's book is reproduced online and this page has an uncolored version of the picture you used in this blogpost.
