[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] I did notice that. And that is precisely my point. Looking at those Africans painted black, you have to wonder if that was SYMBOLIC/POLITICAL versus literal. And just WHO were these Africans, bowmen from Ta Seti maybe? If that was the case then they were most certainly Egyptians. Similarly you have to wonder WHY SO MANY of the statues of MentuHotep found around his mortuary temple were ALSO painted black? Maybe in recognition of the fact that these guys painted in black helped SAVE Egypt's bacon from the asiatics? There are few public images of Mentuhotep, but there is another from the tomb of a MK temple official that shows MentuHotep and his wife, where his wife is painted black and emerging from the sacred hill..... What does THAT mean? Like you said, you cant judge a book by its colors.... :) But no I wasnt trying to imply that MentuHotep had black skin and neither did the so-called Nubians. Just pointing out how colors can be MISINTERPERETED and used to support false distortions of history. If anything the images of Montuhotep remind me of these people from upper Egypt: [IMG]http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/hierakonpolis/jpegs/postholes.jpeg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
