Even after posting ambiguous colorless statues, making fraudulent use of symbolic artistic conventions, double posts of the same pictures (despite OP whishes), irrelevant cartoons and book covers and help of non-Eurocentric others who comment and post counter pics, we're barely past page 1.
The same amount of non-Eurocentric participators would've reached page four by now, with unique dark to light brown skinned depictions, and no need for Eurocentrics to increase the post count. In fact, we've already demonstrated our ability to fill picture threads with ease, and even with statuettes only, as was done recently in alTakuri's thread. But notice that they will continue to spout the ''Ancient Egypt is the same modern Egypt'' and ''you cherrypicked those images'' bullshit elsewhere, when they can't even help themselves to document their beliefs when given the stage to prove it by way of artwork.
BTW After re-reading the OP, I'm not sure. alTakruri, did you call for image posting by both sides or only the Eurocentric side?

Its strinking how images of Greeks and Romans contrast with Egyptian images.
Europeans with Egyptian apparel look atrocious, and I'm not even joking around, or attempting to be mean about it. It just looks extremely odd and uncomfortable, like.. you just want to pluck that white crown off his head and replace it with a roman centurion helmet or something.
Several friends have noticed the same feeling when we just so happen to stumble on Europeans with Egyptian type apparel, and they didn't even study Ancient Egypt beyond media coverage.

I think alTakuri meant for us to post dark skinned images and them to post light skinned images because he commented on how long it would take for them to run out and said "we". But then this Simple Girl b!tch came and thought she could set the rules instead of alTakuri. Even when he told her this she just decided to do what she wanted anyways because she knows that painted tomb scenes would harm her ego... I think her posts should be removed until she can follow the rules.
Also, in order to avoid going against alTakuri's rule not to double post, maybe we shouldn't include images when using the quote function.

Limestone, pigment Old Kingdom, Dynasty 5, ca 2477 BCE Tomb of Ny-kau-inpu, Giza Left: Female Harpist, OIM 10642 H: 8 1/8, W: 4 3/8 D: 6 1/4 (20.7 x 11 x 16.1cm) Right: Male Dwarf Harpist, OIM 10641 H: 4 3/4, W: 2 3/4 D: 3 3/4 (12.5 x 7.2 x 9.6cm) (From museum info card):
These two statues are among a group of twenty-five "thought to have come from the tomb of a courtier named Nykauinpu at Giza. According to Egyptian beliefs, food and the pleasurable activities of daily life could be guaranteed in the afterlife by representing them in the tomb. As a result, statues such as these, which show individuals performing everyday tasks, were placed in tombs to perform necessary services for the deceased in the afterlife. Since statues were thought to be able to substitute for actual laborers..." (Photo of card cropped out further info.)
(From _Ancient Egypt: Treasures of the Oriental Institute_, by Emily Teeter, pages 21-24):
"Those stone statuettes evolved into wood models typical of the late Old Kingdom and Middle Kingdom. These were then replaced by ushebtis of the Second Intermediate Period and later."
"Among the most charming of the Ny-kau-inpu statuettes are three harpests, two of which are pictured here. They lean large shovel-shaped floor harps upon their left shoulders and pluck the strings with their right hands."

Stupid nonsense. Read a book. Eg. Dietrich Wildburg, Egypt from Prehistory to the Romans, p.169.
'The comparative lack of finds in the Delta is primarily the result of geomorphological conditions, intensive agricultural use and the dense settlement pattern.'
The 'culture' was preserved in the south no more than in the north. Civilization endured primarily in the north if anything.

Regarding Hemiunu, the head has obviously been restored. Only the region around the eyes appear to be modern reconstructions, the rest is made from ancient fragments. Whether the head fragments are original to that partiular statue I can't be sure, but I expect so.
Statues of pharaoh Chephren have also been found with the the heads smashed, and surviving in fragments. Hemunu's original head didn't just fall off. I would imagine it was smashed by some zealous early Christian or Muslim who deemed it idolatrous or who wished to deter locals from venerating it. Both the fragmentary and intact statues of Chephren appear caucasoid.
I'm not playing this silly game by the way, I'm just countering the insinuation's about Hemiunu's head.
As for the idea of Tut's tomb depicting any type of people other than Egyptians, the same as modern Egyptians, I think this picture puts pay to that... Posts: 870 | From: uk | Registered: Apr 2011

^I'm not seeing that those Egyptians have the same skin tone as the depictions. Their skin tone looks more like the color of the wall. I consider it wishful thinking on your part. At most, their skin tone is similar and/or comparable as the ancient Egyptians not identical. No surprise as some modern Egyptians also resemble sub-Saharan Africans, although more distantly that their ancestors. But a closer match to the ancient Egyptians would be to East Africans and Sudanese groups.

Yes the head was found in the tomb with the rest of the statue. There's people on this board that would have others believe it was totally made up by racists whites. Anything that looks too caucasian for their tastes is a forgery. Posts: 676 | From: the Alpha and the Omega | Registered: Nov 2010

Dude, I know what you did LOL! Maybe you are confused. So look at the original then back again so that you are sure of the placement.
My point being, that especially in your photo a clear cut distinction can be made between the color of the artwork vs. that of the people.

Ha ah ah aha! I do not see these Caucasoid features Eurocentrics proclaim on Khafra neither have i ever witness a Caucasian bearing a similarity to Khafra but on the other hand...
_
No doubt Africoids like Khafra along with King Tut, Tiye are being incorrectly classified as Caucasoid. Another addition as to why the pure / true negroid theory was created, so they can expand on the phenotypical range of Caucasoids and claim features which can be structurally grouped as Negroid into their own arsenal.
Its just another attempt at justification of psychological and material control. The context to which extent the material here Eurocentrics wish to assert ownership to is black history and its notable figures.

Calabozo. Still laughing at your self-delusion. The living Egyptians are quite obviously the same colour as the ones painted on the wall behind them. You said they were the same colour as the wall. If so why don't the walls show up but the Egyptians' faces do? Pathetic you are. We don't need to see any foreigners to know what Egyptians looked like.

^^^ Who the F-ck says the Hapsburgs were black people dumbass. How long have you been on here and how many responses do you see from normal posters on Edgmounds Threads.
Second the whole point is that using Lips is a poor indicator of race. Egyptians ranged from Full Lips like those of Dojser, Huni, etc. to thin like Ramses, Seti etc. You trying to interject a European to prove your point is obsurd, there are plenty of Egyptians and East Africans who have Tut's features.
Third its pointless engaging a fool who makes comments like this..

Here is a quote from your boy you are so chummy with..
quote:Originally posted by Anglo_Pyramidologist: ''An Examination of Nubian and Egyptian biological distances'' =======
The original egyptians died out thousands of years ago. You must be a simpleton if you believe the modern Arabs/mongrels inhabiting egypt are related to the ancient egyptians.
^^^^ Had an Afrocentric said that you would made 15 videos bitching about Afrocentrics deny Egyptians their history, but beacause the said poster is white it does'nt even phase you.
Further I have yet to see you say a damn thing about Nordic Centrics who make the same claims. Seems you have no problem with that...
In reality you could care less about Egyptians be they from the delta or Upper Egypt. You only use the Delta Egyptians and rally behind them because they resemble your Enlgish Muffin ass. Because you can't fathom even Dark Upper Egyptians as founding Egypt, You need someone who resembles yourself, and if its a Copt or Delata Egyptian so be it.

Khafra doesn't look like any of the Habsburgs neither does he have an underbite.

Why is there a need for Lower Egyptian comparative material, if he says all Ancient Egyptians are identical to the ancients?
The only way he can use that as an argument is if he is conceding to himself in silence that ancient Upper Egypt was significantly more ''African'' than ancient Lower Egypt
That is where the self defeating part comes in; Rahotep knows that with the exception of several pockets of noticeably darker people in Luxor and Aswan and other modern areas, most people between the 1st cataract (the ancient boundary) and the delta look on ave. like North Africans from Libya and Morocco.
In fact, since Libya and Morocco have darker people as well - on par of those dark remnant Egyptian people I mentioned - there is every reason to believe that modern Egypt as a whole compares favorably to other same lattitude North Africans.
Ancient Upper Egyptians, on the other hand, are distinguishable from Magrebians and Libyans in both depicted skin color and cranio-facial traits.
This is why you don't want to participate, and you know it.

Considering how Tut was depicted its even more of a fail.
Here is a reconstruction made on one of the Mummies associated with Tut's and Nefertiti's family..
Notice the features match perfectly with this profile of Nefertit Euroclowns like Winston avoid like the plague.
Oh here comes Trout Pout! The reconstructed face is otherwise fully caucasoid. The lips are a joke (and like the skintone are apparently the work of a graphic designer in post-production, not of actual facial reconstruction specialists). The mouth area is damaged on the mummy in question, so the shape of the lips can't be verified. In every other essential respect KV35YL closely resembles the Berlin bust identified as Nefertiti. The more realistic images from Amarna do not have puffed up lips. Quite clearly they are only a feature of the stylized art produced there, during a period of experimentation. Plaster-cast life masks were also found in the sculptor's workshop of Amarna, again showing narrow lips.

Did you even realize, that some of the faces overlap with the artwork? The significance of this is that you can still distinguish the faces. If they the same skin tone, they would expect them to be indistinguishable. Fact remains, you can distinguish their skin tones.
Then you say "we don't need to see foreigners" but as I have already pointed out to you time after time, latter Egyptians are morphologically distinct from early Egyptians and early Egyptians cluster with Somalis and Sudanese, but modern Egyptians don't. So it stands to reason that Upper Egyptians/Sudanese/East Africans are more representative than lower Egyptians who experienced significant gene flow.

The same thing could be said about Nefertiti, except she was dipped in nothing darker than caramel. Bitching and dreaming, black Americans seem to excel at that.

I was about to say the lighting played an effect, but here is the point:
I can clearly distinguish the Ancient Egyptian color from that of the modern Egyptians who excavated the tomb. Anybody should be able to. Increase the detail of the photo and the distinction becomes clearer.
Now you say that there isn't a significant difference between modern and ancient Egyptians? I must say Rahotep, you are an absolute dumbass. I have given you several citations saying that latter Egyptians are distinct from early Egyptians. Out of respect for this thread and to avoid repetitiveness I won't repost them. Just go back and re-read the studies I posted **yesterday**. Unless you're still clinging on to that pooled sample you failed repeatedly to understand. In which case there is no point in even responding to you and you'll officially be at the same troll status as Simple Girl and Perahu.

Jari I'm touched that you should be concerned about the integrity of British culture. Be assured it will be over my dead body that Islam takes over the UK. What I really don't get are the NOI movement in the US. Blacks seeming to think that Islam was somehow more suitable creed for the descendants of Africans to embrace. Islam was the religion of slave-traders as cruel as any European Christians, a religion centred on Arabs- people who never held negroes in high regard. Obviously I think Egypt would have been better off without Islam, despite the fact that under Islam Egypt continued to be the most powerful and advanced nation in Africa.
You should be more concerned about Islam spreading across black Africa, leading to the loss of indigenous religions and traditions like that of the Dogon.
