Someone posted a comment elsewhere on the forum that the Egyptians depicted their neighbors to the South as darker than themselves. Would this have been purely conventional, as in women typically being conveyed lighter than men? Would there not have been a variety of Africans and skin tones in Egypt and to the South?
