I lived in Cairo in 1981-1983 for 2 years working on a large construction project for Laing. I traveled a lot within Egypt back then and there were no scams whatsoever. The city was cleaner too. Egyptians have become poorer today because of an explosive growth in population and a struggling economy that has not caught up. A scam culture has emerged because of this I think. Egyptians were very honest and down to earth back then and I remember many instances where strangers would pay for my food. The govt needs to do something about the scammers.

[@Sinekyre14]

The people that built the pyramids were a completely different group of people. Pale, european in appearance. They viewed the people who conquered them later as beasts. It's like visiting the shire after it was conquered by Saruman. Why would you do it?

[@woodykusaki9970]

Pale, European in appearance? I would think they'd be a bit tanner due to Sudan/Nubia being directly below it.

[@Sinekyre14]

​@@woodykusaki9970 The Egyptian elites were not native to the African continent at all. The entirety of north-Africa was colonized by various people at various times, and there are almost no black africans at all in Tunisia, Egypt etc. I know because I've been there. Blacks are treated worse than their camels if they try to enter these countries. Right now, it's colonized by arabic peoples who flooded the world from Sassanid persia. They have conquered much of the ancient world because Islam is such a powerful force, but it wasn't always like that. For centuries, parts of north-Africa was colonized by a germanic people, for instance. It was colonized by Romans for centuries. Even further back, blondes and redheads were not uncommon in ancient egypt. Tombs of the pharao's show that they have light traits and look basically like modern Spaniards. Greeks were known for their blonde hair at one point. Achilles had light, golden hair. Same with Apollo. Greek and Roman leaders commonly had red and blonde hair. Roman historians wrote that they admired the beautiful blonde haired Greek women. Dacia, modern Romania, was also noted as as entirely blonde population by the romans. All these ancient civilizations were conquered through decadence and immigration. The entire ancient world was dominated by people with light eyes and light hair, R1b haplotype, and this is proven by archeological findings and tombs. China banned further studies into this after it was found that many of their ancient tombs didn't have Chinese people in them. Ancient persia was populated by people with light hair and light eyes. Modern Europeans stem from a people who originated in Eurasia, then populated the middle-east, Persia etc. What happened was that they became decadent, imported slaves, then the slaves became the majority. Modern day Egyptians are a completely different population from ancient Egyptians.

[@woodykusaki9970]

@@Sinekyre14 Interesting.. I thought Europeans only came flocking to Egypt after Alexander the Great then later, the Romans. The pyramid building was way before that. Khufu as far as I know is from the Old Egyptian Kingdom dating some 2,500 BC. So that's around 2 millennium before Alexander the Great's conquest. The Arabian peninsula to its east and the black Africans from Nubia to its south is way closer to Egypt than Celtic Europeans. It's a bit difficult to imagine the pyramid builders looks closer to Europeans than the Arabs/Nubians. Perhaps after it got conquered by the Greeks, it's believable but before that, I find it hard to imagine.

The scammer made us walk to a ticket counter and jumped the queue for me and refused to take the hint that we are not interested. He then said he will take us to the Pyramids on a horse carriage for 100 Egyptian Pounds, he switched to “I am going to take you to the scenic point for 800 pounds instead”. I got off the carriage and walked away.

In Egypt, as in many places, there are those who resort to scams out of desperation, often driven by the need to provide for their families. However, the true beauty of Egypt lies in its people, their warmth, kindness, and resilience.

A helping hand is always more powerful than deceit, and perhaps with compassion, those in need may choose honesty over desperation. ❤ 🇪🇬
