[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [b]Kenndo, The issue with Abraham fearing that the Egyptians would kill him because of his wife, does indicate that the Egyptians themselves were not Eurasian. This is clearl because if the Egyptians were Eurasian then Sarah certainly would not be unique to the Egyptians and Abraham would have no reason to believe she would be soo desireable to them. Certainly a Pharoah would find other desireable Eurasian women in Egypt if the population was indeed of this racial stock. Obviously from Abraham's perspective, he believed that the Egyptians were significantly different than himself and that his wife was of overwhelming beauty compared to the Egyptian women. This may have been egotistical of a Eurasian but it is quite common for them to think this in comparison to Black African women. This seems to be an easy explaination of the story. But lets not forget the White slave trade in Egypt (such as the Slavs) that produced the Mameluke rule (by accident) but also brought in untold numbers of European concubines. [/b][/QUOTE] Actually I find the whole beauty issue is not so much a matter of racial bias as it is a matter of the "exotica" complex. Many people just find exotic, that is new and different beauty to be attractive! Call it "jungle fever" if you want, but many people find the allure of the exotic appealing. I believe there is also a story in the Bible about how Moses married and Egyptian woman and his family especially his sister had problems with this. The sister even criticizes Moses not only for marrying a gentile woman but one "so dark" or "black" as she calls her. [/QB][/QUOTE]
