He speaks of "the Novfiat." Later the name occurs as Nou/3«Se?, or in the Latinized form of Nobatae.

The ultimate derivation of the word is not known, but it appears to be of very ancient origin and may be connected through the Coptic NOTBT (meaning "to plait") with "nebed," the word used in the inscription of Thothmes I (date c. 1540 B.C.) to denote "the plaited-haired ones," or as it is perhaps with less accuracy translated "the curly-haired ones" whom that monarch overthrew in the neighbourhood of the third cataract: "He hath overthrown the chief of the "Nubians 1 ; the Negro [nehesi] is helpless There is not a remnant among the curly-haired, who came to attack him 2 ."

I imagine that the Arabs simply adopted the word which they found commonly used in Egypt to denote collectively the races living south of the first cataract 3 .

The latter says, "With regard to the word in the inscription of Thothmes I rendered 'the curly-haired,' i.e. as a synonym of 'Negro' {nehesi), written earlier in the inscription... it is necessary to exercise a certain amount of caution, for Miss Murray points out that this word reads Nebed, and is determined by a lock of hair, i.e. 'the curly-haired' stands for 'the nebed-haired.' But 'nebed,' according to Brugsch, does not mean ' curly,' but is the equivalent of the French tresser, natter, entrelacer, and is akin to the Coptic NOTBT =plectere, intexere."

The means for the indices of the ten
samples in the series shown in table 1 indicate a range of 16
points, viz., from 70 to 86
This spread covers all divisions of
hair form according to Martin ('28) who considered hair with
an index of 50-75 to be curly; 75-80 wavy; and 80-100 to be
straight. It is of interest that two samples (94 and 310) were
wavy, if not curly, in the gross specinieii aiid that two other
samples, whose indices were eveii lou7cr (392 and 310-77) appeared
to be straight. The range of means for the indices of
ten Negroes found by Steggerda and Seibert ('41) amounted
to 17 points.
However, the hair of the total group of Paracas mummies
shows a mean of 81.81 for the index which stands midway
between Woodbury axid Woodburp's fiiidiiigs for the Mesa
Verde Indians of 79.77 and for the Basket Maker Indians
of 82.81. It is within the range of indices reported by Steggerda
and Seibert for the Maya, Hopi, Navajo and Zuni Indians (85.04, 82.98, 82.53, 80.46, respectively).

In some of the Badarian crania hair was preserved, thanks to good conditions
in the desert sand. In the first series, according to the description of
the excavators, they were curly in 6 cases, wavy in 33 cases and straight in
io cases. They were black in I6 samples, dark brown in II, brown in I2,
light brown in i and grey in I I cases.25
Thanks to the courtesy of Dr Lawrence and Dr Garlick from the
Duckworth Laboratory in Cambridge, I was able to take samples of seven
of the racially mixed Badarian individuals which were macroscopically
curly (spirals of Io-20 mm in diameter) or wavy (25-35 mm). They were
studied microscopically by S. Tittelbachova' from the Institute of Anthropology
of the Charles University, who found in five out of seven samples a
change in the thickness of the hair in the course of its length, sometimes
with a simultaneous narrowing of the hair pith. The outline of the crosssections
of the hairs was flattened, with indices ranging from 35 to 65.
These peculiarities also show the Negroid influence among the Badarians.

Analysis of Badarian Crania by Zakrzewski 2002 also found the Badarian to be morphologically homogeneous. Which hurts the euro-centric ideology even more given that they show morphological clusters with southern African groups. Not to mention that they are found to be the 'centroid' in both cranial (zakrzewski 2007) and dental (Irish 2006) analysis. So they are quite similar to latter Egyptians and a good representative of the ancestors to the Egyptians

What Afrocentric Liars Exposed doesn't realize is that it takes more acrobatics to ignore the rest of multidisciplinary work (and just focus on hair) than it does to look at all lines of evidence (Craniofacial, post cranial etc).

It's been shown, referencing Thutmose I's stela at
Tombos, that Nebdu qed, applies to one particular
set of Nehesi perhaps characterized by their hair
twists.

So nebd has nothing to do with type of hair, i.e.,
nappy, frizzy, curly, wavy, straight, but the style
of hair.

But the question of hair type, Egyptian vs Nehesi, in
the 18th and 19th dynasties cannot be answered by
any other data than hair samples of the two at that
era in time.

Is any such data available?

I would expect to see a south-north cline from woolly in
Southern Nubia to slightly wavy in the Delta extremities
as norms with individual variance scattered throughout.

= = =

Fletcher categorized the majority AE hairtype as
cynotrichous, a made up term encompassing all hair
that isn't heliotrichous (another made up term). The
latter is only one hair type, but the former has five
different hair types.

Her contrived terms dog hair and sun hair describe
nothing. In effect, and without bluntly using racial
terminology Fletcher has turned ulotrichous (woolly
hair) into negro hair (her heliotrichous)leaving both
cymotrichous and leiotrichous hair types for non-negro
hair (her cynotrichous).

See the thread Egyptian's hair and hairstyles

As for head lice, they come in disctinct sub-species.
The scientific name of the lice Fletcher found would
allow us to know if the hair was naturally woolly or not.
African lice are adapted to traverse oval cross sectioned hair.

Jablonski agrees that it was evolutionarily advantageous for pre-humans to retain the hair on their heads in order to protect the scalp as they walked upright in the intense African (equatorial) UV light. While some might argue that, by this logic, humans should also express hairy shoulders given that these body parts would putatively be exposed to similar conditions, the protection of the head, the seat of the brain that enabled humanity to become one of the most successful species on the planet (and which also is very vulnerable at birth), was arguably a more urgent issue (axillary hair in the underarms and groin were also retained as signs of sexual maturity). During the gradual process by which Homo erectus made a transition from furry to naked skin, their hair texture putatively changed gradually from straight (the condition of most mammals, including humanity's closest cousins—chimpanzees), to Afro-like or 'kinky' (i.e. tightly coiled). In this sense, during the period in which humans were gradually losing their straight body hair and thereby exposing initially the pale skin underneath their fur to the sun, straight hair would have been an adaptive liability. Hence, tightly coiled or 'kinky' Afro-hair may have evolved to prevent the entry of UV light into the body during the transition toward dark, UV-protected skin.

Alternatively, some intuit that tightly coiled hair that grows into a typical Afro-like formation would have greatly reduced the ability of the head and brain to cool. They reason that although hair density in African peoples is much less than their European counterparts, in the intense sun the effective 'woolly hat' produced would have been a disadvantage. However, anthropologists such as Nina Jablonski make the opposite argument with regards to this hair texture. Specifically, Jablonski's assertions suggest that the adjective "woolly" in reference to Afro-hair is a misnomer to the extent that it connotes the high heat insulation derivable from the true wool of sheep. Instead, the relatively sparse density of Afro-hair, combined with its springy coils actually results in an airy, almost sponge-like effect. This, in turn, Jablonski argues, more likely facilitates an increase in the circulation of cool air onto the scalp. Further, Afro-hair does not respond so easily to moisture and sweat as straight hair. Thus it does not stick to the neck and scalp when wet. Rather, unless totally drenched, it tends to retain its basic springy puffiness. In this sense, the trait may enhance comfort levels in intense equatorial climates compared to straight hair (which, on the other hand, tends to naturally fall over the ears and neck to a degree that provides slightly enhanced comfort levels in cold climates relative to tightly coiled hair).

A recent, and long awaited, systematic examination of the protein structure of
hairs from Asian, Caucasian and African individuals31 revealed no differences by
X-ray analysis in the structure of the hair keratin. This research team also examined
the degree of radial swelling of hair of each ethnic grouping when placed in water.
Here, African hair exhibited the lowest radial swelling rate and lowest maximum
swelling. By contrast, both Asian and Caucasian gave similar statistically higher
values, after normalisation for initial shaft diameters. An explanation for this
finding remains elusive, particularly in light of the similar x-ray results on protein
structure.

Asian hair has the greatest fibre diameter and exhibits a circular sectional profile
with a mean ellipticity of approximately 90%, giving it an almost fully circular
profile. In contrast, African hair exhibits high inter-individual variability with
regard to diameter but also with respect to the degree of ellipticity of the hair fibre
cross-section. The mean ellipticity value is closer to 60%, although there is also
much variability along the length of the hair fibres. Importantly, one aspect of the
cross-sectional profile may be prominently flattened. Together, these features
impart an overall shape to African hair that resembles a twisted rod, but also with
focal constrictions' along the hair shaft. Caucasian hair fibres however, have an
intermediate diameter with a cross-sectional shape that is less oval and with an
ellipticity value of 75%.31 As a result, Asian and Caucasian hair fibres are more
cylindric than those of Africans.

And what about those ancient Greek testimonials about "wooly hair" in ancient Egyptians, essentially stereotyping Egyptians in that way -- could it be that they were really describing "straight" hair as "wooly" hair?

^ Correct. If the afro was indeed wig, then the ears would be covered! Virtually all afro type wigs worn by the Egyptians were those that covered the ears. Some Egyptologists believe the covering of ears by wigs is a sign of high status. So the Lyingass's point is lost as usual.

To the author of this thread Sundjata, it's good you pointed out that discrepancy in that passage by Breasted. This is the same James Breasted after all who translated "Nhsw" to mean "negro"! LOL

No doubt the Euronuts take this passage as another sign of "race-war". I can see those fools (like Euronut liar exposed) frothing and further transcribing Breasted's sentence to mean "there is not a remnant of the Nappy-Haired who come to attack him.." LOL

Nebd appears in the name of a particular Nehesi people known as Nebdu-qed and is the word on the Tombos Stele of Thutmose I erected near the third cataract and referenced in the opening post.

"Nebet" does not distinguish hair texture implied

Interestingly enough, one meaning of wawat is hair.

Are you implying he could not have had different hair styles during his lifespan? But only one particular hair style? Or do I interpret you wrongly? No offend.

And even those were wigs, it had to come from somewhere.

You guys are off the chain!!!

Xenophobe, I understand your obsession with ancient Egypt, but your history is at the forests and the caves of Europe! Be proud of that!

I don't think that matters at all. Not that I dismiss it being a Wig but his different hair styles could have been manipulated similar to how Africans sport and Afro one day and Braid their hair another day.

Afros don't hang, in image 38 his hair is long and free flowing (however, they look as though they can be locks) while in image 39 he has an afro again but this time it covers his ears and actually looks curlier. Either way, Egyptians used human hair, so whatever.

BTW, If I were you, I wouldn't respond to lioness.

And even those were wigs, it had to come from somewhere.
