Excellent question. I have often thought about this before. They say that Egyptians never came to the new world but I don't buy it. Pyramids, heiroglyphs, burials, tombs And they way they looked. Too much to be coincidence. National geographic has a special called the curse of the cocaine mummies. They found the coca plant in Egyptian mummies which proves that they had trade.

The United Mexican States or Mexico (Spanish: Estados Unidos Mexicanos or México; regarding the use of the variant spelling Méjico, see section The name below) is a country located in North America, bordered by the United States to the north, and Belize and Guatemala to the southeast. It is the northernmost and westernmost country in Latin America, and also the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world. Mexico is considered the most advanced country in Latin America.[citation needed]\n\nThe country is often referred to by Mexicans as the Mexican Republic (Spanish: Republica Mexicana) although this is not the officially recognised title. The term State of Mexico (Spanish: Estado de Mexico) does not refer to the country, but only to one state within Mexico, located near the centre of the country adjacent to the Federal District.\n\nOn September 16, 1810, independence from Spain was declared by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest in the small town of Dolores, causing a long war that eventually led to the official recognition of independence from Spain in 1821 and the creation of the First Mexican Empire. Actually, Hidalgo declared the independence from France, as José Bonaparte (Napoleon's brother), also known in Mexico as Pepe Botella (Spanish: Bottle Joe, as he had a fame of a heavy drinker), was ruling Spain at that time. The initial intention of the movement, then, was to obtain independence from France while still remaining part of Spain. As the war escalated, however, the objective changed to independence from Spain.\n\nAfter independence, Spanish possessions in Central America which also proclaimed independence were all incorporated into Mexico from 1822 to 1823, with the exception of Chiapas.\n\nSoon after achieving its independence from Spain, the Mexican government, in an effort to populate its sparsely-settled hinterlands, awarded land grants in a remote area of the northernmost state of Coahuila y Tejas to hundreds of immigrant families from the United States, on the condition that the settlers convert to Catholicism and assume Mexican citizenship. It also forbade the importation of slaves, a condition that, like the others, was largely ignored.\n\nIn the 1860s, the country again suffered a military occupation, this time by France, seeking to establish the Habsburg Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria as Emperor of Mexico, with support from the Roman Catholic clergy and conservative elemens of the upper class as well as some indigenous communities. The Second Mexican Empire was then overthrown by President Benito Juárez, with diplomatic and logistical support from the United States and the military expertise of General Porfirio Díaz. General Ignacio Zaragoza defeated the French Army (arguably the most powerful in the world at the time) at the city of Puebla on May 5, 1862, celebrated as Cinco de Mayo ever since. However, after his death, the city was lost in early 1863, following a renewed French attack which penetrated as far as Mexico City, forcing Juárez to organize an itinerant government.\n\n \nBenito Juarez, important figure of Mexican historyNapoleon III of France, Emperor of France, returned Maximillian as Emperor of Mexico from 1864 to 1867. In mid-1867, following repeated losses in battle to the Republican Army, Maximilian was captured and executed by Juárez's soldiers, along with his last loyal generals,Mejia and Miramon in Querétaro. From then on, Juárez remained in office until his death from heart failure in 1872.\n\nAfter Juárez's death, Mexico experienced economic growth under the liberal and pro-European rule of Porfirio Díaz. Foreign investment allowed the development of the oil industry and the construction of a railroad system across the country. This period of relative peace and prosperity is known as the "Porfiriato". His mandate, however, was mostly undemocratic and benefited the middle and upper classes, while the Amerindian indigenous pop

Physically, the country of Mexico is considered to be on the continent of North America. There is a narrowed section of Mexico, called the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. In addition, Mexico contains two large peninsulas: Baja California (on the Pacific Ocean) and the Yucatan Peninsula (on the Gulf of Mexico / Caribbean Sea).\n\nCulturally, Mexico is considered to be part of Latin America, which is not a continent, but the designation given to the countries of the Americas whose primary language and colonial governments were given by European countries who used Latin-based languages, mainly Spanish and Portuguese. This is in constrast to Anglo-America, which mostly designated the US and Canada, whose primary language and government is based on England (and in Quebec, France).\n\nSo to answer your question:\nMost of Mexico is part of a continent (the country also includes several coastal islands), but there is an isthmus in Mexico.

Yes, they are nations of immigrants. There is no difference.\n\nBy the way, the Incas were in what nowadays is Peru and Bolivia, not in Mexico and they were defeated by Pizarro, not Cortez.\n\nThey were many different kinds of Native Americans in Mexico when the Spaniards arrived, but the ones in control were Aztecs. The other important civilization which remains may be found in Mexico nowadays were the Mayans.

It all started with the colonization, where an imaginary mexico created by Europeans tried to replace the Real mexico, the mexico that comes from mesoamerican cultures. This conflict between those two forces created an alternative way to deal with reality: Corruption. \n\nThis conflict has persisted until today, where the real mexico presents itself as informal economy, and subsistence economies in the indian towns... where corruption has became a way of life.

The Olmecs\nMéxico's first-established culture,had far-reaching influence.\nTeotihuacans\nThis city-state of Teotihuacán located on the central highland of México covered an area of 22.5 sq. km. and its population reached 200,000 inhabitants by the year 350 AD (probably the largest city in the world at the time).\nThe Toltecs\nThe Toltecs occupied the northern regions of the Valley of México. They built Tula, one of México's most impressive ancient cities. They strongly influenced later Mayan and Aztec cultures.\nThe Mayans\nTheir achievements are noteworthy, they controlled a huge empire, created complex systems of mathematics and astrology and were also skills traders. They were master architects and engineers.\nThe Zapotec and Mixtec\nThe Zapotec and Mixtec cultures developed in the Valley of Oaxaca. They were superlative builders and artists; they created magnificent temples, pottery, and metal work. Remarkably, these two ancient cultures still survive today. Descendants of both ancient Zapotecs and Mixtecs inhabit today the State of Oaxaca.\nThe Aztecs\nThe Aztecs are probably the most well-known of all México's ancient cultures. The Aztec empire was composed of three Nahua's groups established in the Valley of Mexico with Tenochtitlán (presently Mexico City) as the main city-state. Their empire was huge when Spanish conquistadors arrived in 1519; by 1521 they were conquered by the troops of Hernán Cortés.\nDuring the colonial period, México was called "New Spain", and it covered three centuries of its history: from the 13th of August of 1521, the date of the conquest of Tenochtitlán by the Spanish, until 1821 when the Independence movement was consummated.\nThe Modern period began with the War of Independence (1810-1821). The priest Miguel Hidalgo initiated a revolt against the Spanish rule on the 16th of September, 1810. This date is México's National Day.\nIn 1862 the French Emperor Napoleon III intervened militarily in México: an empire was established from 1864 to 1867, under the Austrian prince Maximilian of Hapsburg.\nOn the 5th of May 1862, General Ignacio Zaragoza, named Major General of the Army by the government of Juárez, obtained victory in the Battle of Puebla against the French.\nIn 1867 Benito Juárez re-established the Republic, and while in power died in 1872.\nHope this helps as you can see there were way more than 2 cultures that blended to create modern Mexico.

Poor Mexico - so close to the United States, so far from God,’ runs a popular Mexican saying. This leads me to believe it is a 'public domain' quote, the origin unknown, or unremembered

Egypt, as many people of the world refer to the country today, is a derivative of this ancient name.  Even today, people who speak one language often change the spelling of words in  another language because of the difficulty they may have in pronouncing some of the sounds of that foreign language.  Hence, in pronouncing Hwt-ka-Ptah, the Greeks changed this world to Aegyptus (Aigyptos), which they used in their literature as the name of an Egyptian King (perhaps Ramesses, though in a fictional manner), the Nile River and for the country itself.  We find the word used by Homer in his famous "Odyssey.  We believe the Greeks had difficulties with the Egyptian pronunciation of the letter "H" at the beginning and end of Hwt-ka-Ptah.\nHer geography is unique. Covering well over a million square kilometers, Ethiopia is about twice as large as Kenya or Texas, or about five times as large as the United Kingdom. Its magnificent landscape ranges from desert areas to forested highlands. At 4,620 meters, Mount Ras Deshen is Ethiopia's highest peak, and Africa's fourth highest, but twenty mountains rise to more than 4,000 meters. The waters of the Abay River, or Blue Nile, feed Lake Tana and flow into the Nile. Most of the Nile's waters originate in Ethiopia.\n\nEthiopia is generally considered Africa's oldest continuously identifiable nation, though Egypt's written history is older and more complete. Ethiopia is landlocked today. Eritrea (independent since 1993), Djibouti and parts of Somalia, share much of their ancient, medieval and modern histories with Abyssinia, as Ethiopia was formerly known. Yemen is nearby. Across the Red Sea is the mountainous Asir Province of Saudi Arabia. Asir, which lies in Asia, has a rugged topography not unlike that of Ethiopia's uplands, and EthiopiansMap are one of the province's larger ethnic minorities. In times past, Ethiopia bordered Egypt, encompassing parts of what is now Sudan.\n\nEthiopia is home to the lion, leopard and cheetah, but to many other species as well. A short list would include the giraffe, elephant, rhinoceros, bushpig, warthog, and various varieties of ibex (including the rare walia), duiker, antelope, gazelle, zebra, buffalo, monkey, baboon, hyena, jackal and wolf. Some of these creatures exist in larger populations in neighboring Kenya, but Ethiopia probably boasts more wild mammal species than any other country in the world. Many are dwarfed by the ostrich, one of Ethiopia's 800 bird species. Some of these animals are unique to Ethiopia. Ethiopia's plant life is equally diverse.\n\nThe first Ethiopians had names like Lucy Australopithecus Afarensis, Australopithecus Africanus and Homo Habilis. They were the predecessors of homo sapiens, our species. Ethiopia's Great Rift Valley and other regions have yielded finds which indicate that this nation may well be the birthplace of the human race.\n\nThere are two possible origins of the name Ethiopia. Tradition says it derives from the name of Etiopik, descendant of the Biblical Noah. Linguists believe it comes from the Greek expression for "sunburned faces." Abyssinia, another ancient name for this land, probably comes to us from the Arabic habishat, which in this context refers to the country's "mixed" population.\n\nEarly History\n\nThere is no doubt that humans have inhabited Ethiopia since the dawn of recorded history, as indicated in early cave drawings. The more modern Ethiopians are not a single racial or ethnic group, a fact reflected in the diversity of Lioness and cubtheir languages. Despite some twentieth-century European attempts to present them as dark Caucasians, Ethiopians are predominantly Negroid.\n\nSome Ethiopian peoples, such as the Surma, were clearly tribal and semi-nomadic, while others were more reliant on agriculture. It's difficult to generalize about such a complex ethnic mix of peoples.\n\nTop of Page\n\nYet, Ethiopia is the o

Politically, it is more Middle Eastern than African, because of the many diplomatic liaisions it has with other Arabic nations and Israel.\n\nThe Middle East is iconically seen as Arab(ian) so that is why Egypt is often classed as Middle Eastern, as it is also part of the Arab world. However, it is probably the only Arab-African nation, classified as in the Middle East, because of geographic location.

There are mixtures of 3 races, for the most part. White (European), Indian (Aztec, Mayan, etc.) and Black (African). Most of the people in Mexico are a mixture of Indian and White. My husband, for example is a mixture of Spanish, Italian, Tlaxcaltecan and possibly Aztec.
