From the Tomb of Nakht

The Ancient Egyptian official Nakht was an 'astronomer' (Astronomer of Amun), scribe, and priest during the reign of Thutmose IV, during the Eighteenth Dynasty. He is buried in the Theban Necropolis, in tomb TT52. various paintings from his tomb

In Egyptian art we see people portrayed with different skin tones.
Sometimes you see women portrayed in a brown color other times lighter. Sometimes reddish brown other times chocolate or ochre brown.
Other times it is not uncommon to see them portrayed lighter skinned than the male in some scenes such as the one directly above.
You also see this in Etruscan art sometimes

^ This was explained to your lyinass before countless times. This seems to have been an artistic convention that was spread and adopted by other non-African peoples around the Mediterranean.

The convention that women were lighter because they stayed indoors does not excuse the fact that they are many shades lighter than the men or the fact that most women in that time did not stay indoors but worked outside especially in the case of Egyptian women.

So what is your point?

The eyes, the mouth, the shape of the face, all screams African.

Etruscan art all screams European.

Not sure why you don't see that.

Of course, in Minoan art, there are genetic underpinnings for the medium and dark brown colors, in contrast to when we see such colors used in Etruscan art. There WAS an African colony in Crete, as well as in parts of Greece.

Not necessarily.
You can stop playing dumb, Lyingass. I know you've seen the Cretan portrayals of Cretan people who don't look particularly mediteranean. No amount of postings of red skinned mediteranean looking Cretans is going to change that.

I don't know enough about the subject (Etruscans) to be able to make an intelligent statement about the presence of blacks in the region. I do believe, like you said earlier, that the convention of darker skinned men, seems to be more of a copied convention in the case of Etruscans, than is the case in Crete.

Piece of shit, you are bascially saying that some some ancient Mediterraneans may have a similar skin tone to some ancient Egyptians but ancient Egyptians did not have protruding chins
 
Posted by Swenet (Member # 17303) on :
 
I already made my views known regarding the Ancient Med convention of using excessively dark colors in the absence of assimilation of black skinned groups. Either the man was painted using the Egyptian convention, or they tried to depict the idea of a suntanned person when they painted the figure, or they used the color because he was imagined to have had African ancestry.

Either way, his facial features are typical of Europeans, not Africans, and you'd have to be on crack if you think Europeans can ever look like that, without staying in the sun, and/or that an artificially tanned European is biologically speaking the same as a similarly hued African.

Actually, the above is an African (Egyptian) portrayal of Minoans! Funny how the Egyptians portrayed them as similar to themselves. One might think this a contradiction but it's not if you acknowledge that the peoples of Crete were indeed ethnically heterogeneous and not the same, with some having African origins and others not.

I do know enough. The Etruscans were basically a people who lived in central and northern Italy but whose territory was reduced to the northwestern province of Etruria during the late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age when Indo-European Italic tribes began to establish themselves. The Etruscans had their own distinct language unrelated to any another and had their own customs and religious beliefs which were eventually adopted by Romans and other Italians. The Etruscans were essentially the founders of civilization in Italy before they were usurped by the Romans. It was the Etruscans who invented the first irrigation systems that were ancestral to Roman aqueducts. They were the earliest wine-makers and introduced wine-making to the peoples who inhabited southern France. They also had their own script which was partly native and partly adopted from the Greeks.

The identity of the Etruscans has been debated several times in this forum, though most of those threads are lost and/or deleted. The only thread I could find is this. There are basically two main theories regarding Etruscan origins. 1. They were indigenous peoples of the Italian peninsula. and 2. They were immigrants from the east, likely Anatolia as due to certain features of their culture and especially religion. I myself believe the case to be a combination of the two. Whatever migration to Italy that took place was very early since many Etruscans by the time of Rome identify themselves as autochthonous. Of course this is in regards to ethnicity as opposed to overall population.

Again, if blacks were present in Etruria and especially older expanded realms of the Etruscans would not be surprising. And certain we have evidence of African presence in the southern part of Italy and in Sicily.

Pelasgians and Etruscans were of the same racial type - short, dark, brunette, they were the Old Mediterraneanoid stock of Europe.

piece of shit, what facial features of the above in particular are not African?

piece of shit, whether they stay out in the sun a little or a lot is irrelevant to the fact that many Southern Europeans and Near Easterners have fairly dark skin tones. A painted representation of these skin tones can be a fair representation of how these skin tones looked, despite the fact if they did or did not work outside in the sun all day long. Therefore in the case of a medium reddish brown skin tone in a painting you can't make assumptions as to the person's ethnicity.
Therefore you now switch to amaeturish profiling on the ethnicity of facial features

so tell us grand genius what facial features of the above in particular are not African?

Yes. It wasn't just Hellanicus, but Herodotus, and various other Greek as well as Roman authors who give an Anatolian origin account. There were a few like Dionysius of Halicarnassus who suggest the indigenous theory, but most think they were of the same Anatolian extraction as the Pelasgians.

Here's a good online source on the Etruscans:

http://www.mysteriousetruscans.com/index.html

with introduction here.

What the source states concurs with my own theory that the Etruscans were a blend of indigenous Italians with Pelasgian/Anatolian immigrants.

Here is also a genetic study done on Etruscan remains that was presented in this forum before:

The Etruscans: A Population-Genetic Study

The origins of the Etruscans, a non-Indo-European population of preclassical Italy, are unclear. There is broad agreement that their culture developed locally, but the Etruscans’ evolutionary and migrational relationships are largely unknown. In this study, we determined mitochondrial DNA sequences in multiple clones derived from bone samples of 80 Etruscans who lived between the 7th and the 3rd centuries b.c. In the first phase of the study, we eliminated all specimens for which any of nine tests for validation of ancient DNA data raised the suspicion that either degradation or contamination by modern DNA might have occurred. On the basis of data from the remaining 30 individuals, the Etruscans appeared as genetically variable as modern populations. No significant heterogeneity emerged among archaeological sites or time periods, suggesting that different Etruscan communities shared not only a culture but also a mitochondrial gene pool. Genetic distances and sequence comparisons show closer evolutionary relationships with the eastern Mediterranean shores for the Etruscans than for modern Italian populations. All mitochondrial lineages observed among the Etruscans appear typically European or West Asian, but only a few haplotypes were found to have an exact match in a modern mitochondrial database, raising new questions about the Etruscans’ fate after their assimilation into the Roman state.

Hense forth if people call me names I will address them as piece of shit etc. because that is type of language those particular low class types of people relate to more. It's how they were brought up.

Mandibular prognathism has nothing to do with cephalic index. Because someone has posterior projection of the mandible (condylar head), doesn't make them brachycephalic.

Swenet who is also claiming those are ''typical European profiles'' is completely wrong.

Typical Europeans don't have prognathism.

The ONLY Europeans who have prognathism are a minority of royals. Prognathism aka the Habsburg Jaw is created through ibreeding. Its a medical defect. The Ptolemies were also inbreeding...

Here is my research on the Pelasgians -

Age of Settlement

There is archaeological evidence of Pelasgians extending at least to the Neolithic or ''Old Europe'' (c. 6500 BC) or slightly earlier (Gimbutas, 1974). The antiquity of the Pelasgians is reflected in the ancient Greek myths surrounding their age.

The ancient poet Asius notes that the eponymous founder of the Pelasgians, a man called Pelasg, was born of the earth as an autochthon or earth sprung primordial (Paus. viii. 1. 4). According to the Greek traditions the Pelasgians had dwelt in Argos even before the time of the primeval king Ogyges of Boeotia (Eusebius. Praep Evang. x. 10. p. 489; Fragm. Hist. graec. i. p. 385. 8). Ephorus also reports a tradition that the ''Pelasgians had been the most ancient people who had ruled over Greece'' (Fragm. 54).

Racial Type

Skeletal analysis of Pelasgians from Neolithic burials has determined that they mostly cluster in the Mediterranid 'Proper' Caucasoid division, with minor Alpine admixture (Ripley, 1899; Buxton, 1920; Coon, 1939; Angel, 1945).

Angel (1945) concluded after analysing 13 skulls from the Neolithic that they were Gracile ('Proper') and Dinaric-Mediterranid, a minority with ''Alpine tendancies'' (p. 256).

Ancient literary sources are also useful, noting that the Pelasgians were dark haired. An ancient fragment from Philochorus for example notes that the ''dark lustre of their black hair was never tained by a single silver thread'' (Hist. graec. i).

Although the etymology of Pelasgian is still debated among scholars, it has been proposed that their name means ''dark faced men'' or ''swarthy Asiatics'' (Dr. Donaldson's Varronianus, 1852, pp.24-30; Herodotus, Book III, tr. George Rawlinson, p. 441, footnote) from pelios - ''dark'' and asgi ''the people of Asia'' (Buttman, Lexil. Ad voc, p. 155, note). It appears then the Pelasgians can be connected to the old Mediterranid racial stock of the Middle-East or Asia Minor (Coon, 1939).

Idiot, follow the discussion Swenet did not say prognathism is typical for Europeans. He said concave facial profile and he meant in particular a protruding chin of the type below is common in Europeans but not Egyptians

Mandibular prognathism, includes protuding chin.

Macrogenia is a form of prognathism in the chin.

Mandibular prognathism is a protrusion of the mandible or mouth making the face long. It can be classified into types: macrogenia and mandibular prognathism (or progenism). Macrogenia is a case of an overly enlarged chin with normal mandible size and occlusion. On the other hand, mandibular prognathism, or progenism, is caused by over development of mandible leading to malocclusion where the lower jaw outgrows the upper.

No, Lioness is right, and you're seeing ghosts. I never linked prognathism with Europeans in this thread (although I'm not exactly of the opinion they don't have it, either), in fact, I implied it (prognathism) contributed to distinguishing Lioness' Egyptian portrayals from her Cretan fisherman.

Protrusion of the chin is known as mental protuberance, and its not the same as prognathism. It can occur both in the presence and absence of prognathism. So much for your degree in Forensic Anthropology.

Now, just to be clear on one thing here, I'm not saying mental protruberance does not occur in Africans. I was talking about a concave facial profile.

I'd say the facial profile in the first picture is convex (rather than concave), but yeah, the concave facial profile doesn't seem to feature often in native Egyptian portrayals or Africans in general, for that matter.

^^^ It would not be correct to describe this as a concave facial profile because the lips protrude

^^^ Here the lips protrude less so that you can see a concave contour

let's keep it simple, the Minoan man has a protruding round shaped chin.

Once such differences are ascribed to geography, i.e. "typical of European" "and
"nothing to do with how Egyptians depicted themselves"
concepts easily form which are similar to what some people call "race"

Why, are you of the bizarre mindset that races co-vary with facial profiles? If the profiles of the European and Egyptian portrayals aligned, you'd be cheering, and more than happy to inform us how the Egyptian/European profiles don't occur in Central Africa.

Watsamatta Lyingass, your precious European and Egyptian profiles don't align, and now you've gotta denounce those difference, by alerting me to what others may think? Who gives a sh!t? Deal with the issue at hand. The bulk of the Med sculptures are easily distinguishable form the Egyptian works, in part because of the higher frequencies of concave facial profiles in Greco-Roman works, but also because of the high frequencies of brow ridges + deep set eyes, and other European features.

Yeah, good to know.
I'm not really interested in their mtdna though. Male lineages is where the juice is for ancient European samples. What I'm interested in, is whether the Greeks got their E lineages from Pelasgian assimulation, or from them being Anatolians, originally.

Talking crap again...

Mental protuberance is the bony protuberance at the front of the lower jaw, it is a defining feature of anatomically modern Humans. As archaic homo had no chin or very poorly developed mentum. It appears in all modern races.

What you are posting is macrogenia, the overexuberant growth of the mental protuberance. This is a form of mandibular prognathism.

In Caucasoids, or 'Europeans' for sake of thread, macrogenia prognathism is not a recognised feature. It only appears in Europeans as a defect, just like other variations of mandibular prognathism like the Habsburg Jaw.

Downsyndromes have it, however it also appears in royals through inbreeding.

If you think macrogenia is a typical trait of Europeans, then you are damn retarded. Outside the minority of downsyndromes, inbreds etcetc, it isn't at all observed.

Swenet is a race denier loon, yet in this thread he has admitted that Europeans (Caucasoids) have distinct cranial features. In other words he recognises the fact seperate geographical populations cluster different craniometrically, a key factor of racial reality.

In this Etruscan painting why is the female lighter than the male?

Because Caucasoid Europeans have the highest sexual dimorphism. Caucasoid or white females are always naturally lighter than men. See the research of anthropologist Peter Frost, who has written whole papers on this topic.

In Negroids there is very little sexual dimorphism. Black females are not lighter or different to black males in craniofacial terms. All that happened is that they piled more fat on the buttocks.

This is why black men like women with huge asses, while to the vast majority of white men this is seen as repulsive.

We don't care what you think is beautiful or not you obssesion with it borders on the feminine.
Peter Frost's article is highly speculative as are his other articles. If you want to provide support use a book.

We don't need to read an article to observe in modern day life that most white couples are similar in skin tone, not as much difference compared to some the above Roman and Etruscan paintings but it does happen.

So what is the explanation? We are dealing with ancient Southern Europe where people were darker. There probably weren't that many very pale skinned people. So I believe some of these Etruscan nobles sought out and found females from more Northern regions who were more rare to Southern Europe and looked "exotic" to them.

"If this common selective force were sexual selection, it could have lightened European skin
color by acting on an existing sexual dimorphism. Men and women differ in complexion
because of differing amounts of melanin and cutaneous blood flow; in short, women are
fairer, men browner and ruddier (Edwards & Duntley, 1939; Frost, 1988; Frost, 2005; Hulse,
1967; Jablonski & Chaplin, 2000). The size of this sex difference is still debated, largely
because most studies are poorly controlled for age (girls lighten only after puberty and
immediately before are actually darker than boys). Investigators also try to exclude tanning by
measuring under the arm, where there is less subcutaneous fat and probably less dimorphism
in skin color, given that the lightness of a woman’s skin correlates with the thickness of her
subcutaneous fat (Mazess, 1967). In any event, sexual selection may have targeted this sex
difference, as suggested by a cross-cultural male preference for lighter complexioned women
and, conversely, by some evidence of a female preference for darker complexioned men
(Aoki, 2002; Feinman Feinman & Gill, 1978; Frost, 1988; Frost, 1994b; Frost, 2005; Van den Berghe

Most sexual selection appears in Caucasoids
(Hrdlicka, 1898; Meredith & Spurgeon, 1980; Nelson & Nelson, 1986). This accentuation is noticeable even before birth: Euro-American fetuses are sexually more dimorphic than African-American fetuses (Choi & Trotter, 1970).

Negroids have the least physical diversity and sexual dimorphism which is why Negroid Sub-Saharan African tribes admit they do not marry females based on physical facial features or physical attractiveness. Vilakazi (1962, pp. 59-60) states: "The traditional Zulu does not make physical beauty a first priority or even an important qualification in a wife; and the skin colour of the woman is of little importance."
Dixson et al. (2006) examined mate-choice criteria among Negroids in Cameroon to further discover no consistent preference emerged regarding physical attraction.

Because there is so little dimorphic difference, Black Sub-Saharan African tribal males have never understood beauty. They marry and breed with females in their tribes they admit who are ugly. The only attraction to black males appears to be large buttocks.

Big asses are not an attractive feature. Only black males are attracted to them, because sexual dimorphism in negroid females is so low.

How the hell is this racism? It is science.

There was no selective pressures on Negroids which is why they lack phenotype diversity. The females just put on fat around their buttocks.

Still to this day, black men like huge asses, while as i said to all other races, especially whites this is seen repulsive.

It's true that women tend to have lighter complexions than males due to the biological reasons expressed; however such a difference is only very slight and can be exaggerated if the female doesn't get enough sunlight but her male counterparts do-- as was the case in Greece and Rome where women were being sequestered indoors-- or made non apparent if the women stayed outdoors as much or longer as the men.

This however I don't think has anything to do with the ancient art convention, at least in the part of the Egyptians.

crania cannot show sexual differences for blacks-

THE FAKER EXPOSED PART 9- HE CLAIMS ALL THESE HIGGINS "DISTORTIONS"
BUT WHEN ASKED TO NAME THE SPECIFIC WEBSITES OF THIS ALLEGED

In fact, Godfrey Higgins ALSO says this about "negroes"
quote:

"I believe all the Blavk bambinos of Italy are negroes- not merely blacks;
this admitted, it would prove they very early date of their entrance into Italy." pg 286
pg 434
"the ancient Eturians had the countenances of Negroes, the same as the images of Buddah in INdia." pg 166
pg 474- "They aere in fact, all one nation, with one religion, that of Buddah, and they were originally NEgroes"
pg 59: "nor can it be reasonably doubted, that a race of Negroes formerly had power and pre-eminence in India"
pg 59- AS TO ETHIOPIA: And it is probable that an Ethiopian, a negro, correctly speaking, may have been meant, not merely a black person; and it seems probable that the following may have ben the real fact, viz, that a race of NEgroes or Blacks, but probably of the former, came to India to the west."

cASSIRETEDES own source debunks him. Note the footnote by

they were so."


His own source says they may not have been Negroes
then adds: THOUGH IT IS PROBABLY THEY WERE SO."

THE FAKER EXPOSED: PART 6
1-- ^^Faker! In your initial posts you claimed that it
was Cavalli-Sforza talking 'bout negroes "mutating"
from Pygmies. Now in your "corrected" post,
YOU STILL APPEAR A FAKE.
You now remove Cavalli-
Sforza's name on the "mutant" claim, admitting that
you were lying all along!
Bwa ha aha
a hah a ha ahahaha aha ahah..


2-- Second point- Peter Frost is debunked by Cavalli-Sforza
who says as to his so-called "mutation" theory:

QUOTE:

"It remains difficult to pinpoint an ancient place
of origin for the Negroid type which includes all
West, Central and South Africans. Contrary to many
earlier opinions, modern Pygmies and Khosians are
not good candidates for a proto-African population."


--Cavalli Sforza et al, 1994. The history and geography of human genes. 194

Frost mentions Cavalli-Sforza in connection with
sexual selection, and movement of some groups
from Nigeria-Cameroon to other parts of Africa.
He never says Cavalli Sforza talks bout any
"negro mutation" and in fact any mutation claim
is directly contradicted by Sforza. Sucka, you
not only lied bout Cavalli-Sforza, you lied about
your own white writer- Peter Frost, and misrepresented him.



THE FAKER EXPOSED: PART 6
Anglo-Pyr/CassiREDES says:
''There are then no Australoids with blonde hair past the age of about twenty''

^^LMAO! Totally fake! Credible up to date sources
note that blondism is prevalent in early life
BUT, contrary to your claim that:
"There are then no Australoids with blonde hair past the age of about twenty",
the shade of color varies. In maturity the hair
usually turns a darker brown color, but sometimes
remains blond. See:
"Gene Expression: Blonde Australian Aboriginals". Gnxp.com.
http://www.gnxp.com/blog/2005/08/blonde-australian-aboriginals.php.

^^Here is one of your Australians over 20 years old
who does have blonde hair. YOu are caught out
spinning bogus claims AGAIN!. Bwa ha aha
a hah a ha ahahaha aha ahah..
-

--------------------------------------------------

THE FAKER EXPOSED: PART 5a
[b]So where are these tropical african peoples
with pale white or fair skin? blonde red hair?


^^You fail again. African populations can readily produce blond
or reddish blond hair as noted by hair study author Hrdy
1978 himself, and he references Nubia as an example.
Albinism is another source of red or blond hair
in Africa, and albinism is much more prevalent in
African populations than among Europeans. Even
African Americans produce more albinos than white
Americans. (The pigmentary system: physiology and
pathophysiology- By James J. Nordlund 2006: 603)
(E. Roach and V. Miller 2004. Neurocutaneous disorders.)
QUOTE: "In general, the prevalence of albinism in
Africa is much higher, in the range of 1 in 1
100 to 1 in 3900."

So Africa can and does routinely produce red and blond hair.
All non-Africans are MORE LIMITED subsets of
ORIGINAL African diversity. THe originals
have more built-in diversity than the limited
sub-set populations. This is straight science as
noted by the quote from TIshkoff 2000.

Nor are Africans the only tropical peoples who
can produce reddish hair or blond hair. Among
Australian Aborigines, some tropical groups produce 100%
of individuals with blond hair. Melanesians can
also produce blond or reddish hair, and do so routinely.

White people have no monopoly at all on that hair
color. They merely show more of it, but even among
whites, red hair for example is minor- occurring in less than
5% of the overall European populations, mostly in
northern Europe.

So the claim that there are no tropical Africans with such
variation is once again, proved fake. You made the claim.


-------------------------------------------------------------------

THE FAKER EXPOSED: PART 4
ime and time again, you stand debunked and exposed
for falsifying claims and references. Let's recap:



Originally posted by CASSIFAKedes::

Caucasoids and Mongoloids predate them. [Wink] Negroids only migrated into other parts of Africa during the Bantu expansion or slightly earlier. Prior to them, Caucasoids inhabited North Africa and Bushmen (Capoids) to the south who were displaced by the Caucasoids from the Mediterranean around 12,000 BC.


^^A bogus reference.
Why should anyone take your word for it given
past bogus references? Quote where Cavalli-Sforza
says these so-called "negroids" "mutated" from
Pygmies. The burden of proof is on you, since you made
the claim.

While you scurry to cover your tracks with yet
more bogus claims, Cavali Sforza, in his well
known The History and Geography of Human Genes,
1994 Cavalli-Sforza summarizes his 1986 work on
Pygmies and specifically debunks the "Pygmy as ancestor"
theory held by other older writings. QUOTE:


"It remains difficult to pinpoint an ancient place
of origin for the Negroid type which includes all
West, Central and South Africans. Contrary to many
earlier opinions, modern Pygmies and Khosians are
not good candidates for a proto-African population."

--Cavalli Sforza et al, 1994. The history and geography of human genes. 194


SO much for your lying claims of "mutations" from "Pygymy" ancestors.
In short, you lied about Cavalli-Sforza, creating a falsified
claim and a bogus "supporting" reference to a claim that is
nowhere supported in his work. You are once again
exposed as yet another racist faker
You are not fooling anyone.


------------------------

THE FAKER EXPOSED-PART 3-
YOu then tried to cover up your lie with even
more bogus nformation and STILL fail


You "modified" your Cavalli Sforza claim by including
page numbers, and then changing some wording to
"adaptive radiation" hoping to divert attention
from your exposure.. lmao..

However pages 361-362 of Cavalli Sforza's 1986 book
says absolutely nothing about any Negroes "mutating" from
pygmies, nor any "adaptive radiation." It merely
discusses Pygmy history and geography. You
picked out a page at random, not knowing it can be
verified via Google Books. You were asked to provide
a direct quote but are still running. Now why is that?

""It remains difficult to pinpoint an ancient place
of origin for the Negroid type which includes all
West, Central and South Africans. Contrary to many
earlier opinions, modern Pygmies and Khosians are
not good candidates for a proto-African population."


--Cavalli Sforza et al, 1994. The history and geography of human genes. 194


--------------------------------------


THE FAKER EXPOSED- PART 2
And Your pathetic "modification" STILL turned
out to be bogus. You then said:

"True" Black Africans appear as a recent
adaptive radiation apparently branching off from
an ancestral Pygmy population — a line of
ancestry also indicated by osteological data
(Coon 1962:651-656; Watson et al. 1996).



^^But in fact, Watson 1996 has nothing to do with
osteological data and does not even mention it. It
has to do with mtDNA.

----------------------------------------


THE FAKER EXPOSED- PART 1C
YOU THEN PROFFERED ANOTHER FAKE CLAIM BELOW:
He says:
quote:

"Note that in the Old Testament the Danites are the only Hebrew people described as being maritime and associated with ships.."



^^Complete Nonsense. In the Old Testament, the tribe of
Zebulun is mentioned as specifically associated
with ships and maritime elements. QUOTE:

Genesis 49:13

"Zebulun will dwell at the shore of the seas;
Yea, he will be at the shore of the ships, And
his side toucheth upon Sidon. "

This is not proof of anything, just speculation of an author. It is also a non-sequitor.

Gay Robbins says that skin color was not uniform in ancient Egypt and that skin tones were lighter in the North than in the South. (so much for your "paint faded" applied to any situation)

Males and females are only sometimes of different color in the art and there are plenty of instances where they are the same.

So in the instances in the art where a female is shown lighter than a male a more common sense explanation is that the female from a Northern Egyptina background while the male is from Southern Egyptian background.

That's the more logical explanation.

And not to be confused with a different situation below where a yellow skin color really is symbolic:
 -

^^^^^
Here we have Nefertari and Isis. Nefertari a real person is pictured much darker than Isis. Isis is painted an unatural yellow color. It's not like a real person who might have a tan yellow color. This color is too yellow. It's symbolic for golden skin of some Gods. Nefertari is not yellow here so you can't say yellow is sybmbolic for females.

Some people get this confused with the below situation a portrait of two real people, Rahotep and Nofret:

 -

The simple explantion is contained in the first part of Gay Robbins remark:

Male and female skin colors were probably not uniform among the entire population of Egypt, with pigmentation being darker in the south [closer to sub-saharan Africans] and lighter in the north [closer to Mediterranean Near Easterners] [/b][

^^lol..
from an old citation:

"In the majority of cases, the woman's skin is coloured a light yellowish-brown, while the man's is painted a much darker reddish-brown (figs. 36, 37). This could be an artistic device to symbolise what we have seen from other evidene: the tendency for women to be occupied indoors and men o of doors... The use of two contrasting colours in relation to gender is obviously a convention, and whole it may in part be based on reality, the situaton with regards to skin colour in life is likely to have been far more complex."


--Gay Robbins 1998. Women in Egypt. p 180-181
 
Posted by Djehuti (Member # 6698) on :
 
^ Yes we all know it was a convention but based on what? Robins speculates that it could be due to women staying indoors yet as Ausar has stated many times according to all the archaeological evidence, including artwork as well, women are shown working outdoors alongside men. Women perform agricultural work outside, they prepare food outside, and they sell their goods in the marketplace-- all activities no different from women in modern Sub-Saharan Africa. Even the elite women who can afford to spend their leisure indoors are also shown accompanying their men outdoors in recreational activities. What's more that even images of poor farmers working outside, the women are still painted yellowish! So obviously the whole seclusion indoors argument falls apart.

Originally posted by the lyinass b|tch:

The only speculation is as to why the convention is applied. Her point was that such a color disparity between the sexes was indeed a convention and NOT a realistic feature.

quote:
Gay Robbins says that skin color was not uniform in ancient Egypt and that skin tones were lighter in the North than in the South. (so much for your "paint faded" applied to any situation)
Yes and the difference in complexions is rooted in facts that even the late Egyptologist Frank Yurco agreed. Such a phenomena is not confined to Egypt either. In Europe for example, northern Italians are fairer in both complexion and features than southern Italians, the same can be said for people in China etc. Robins' point was merely that the color convention for females applied throughout the nation even if it did not reflect reality. I don't know what any of this has to do with the equally factual point of paint-faded artwork! Artwork in the south depicting very dark-skinned men could be just as faded

quote:
Males and females are only sometimes of different color in the art and there are plenty of instances where they are the same.
Which only supports the conjecture that the yellow female convention was symbolic rather than realistic.

quote:
So in the instances in the art where a female is shown lighter than a male a more common sense explanation is that the female from a Northern Egyptian background while the male is from Southern Egyptian background.

That's the more logical explanation.

No dumb twit! Robins' point was that it didn't matter what the actual color of a female was-- in fact the example she presented was of a darker female from the south being portrayed with a lighter male from the north!! The result was the same in that if the convention was applied she would still be depicted yellowish!

It is THIS that is the most logical explanation!

LOL You are obviously too stupid to realize that the situation is the SAME! The yellow color IS symbolic and it is applied to women when depicted with men. However in the case you just described Nefertari above is not depicted with a man but rather with a goddess, hence the deity is symbolized in color!!

LOL @ your pathetic attempt to distort Robins now! The point she makes is that the yellow color truly is a convention based on something symbolic NOT that all yellowish women are from northern Egypt you twit!! Why is it then that even northern Egyptian men are not yellow either but brown in color, you dumb lying worm?!
 
Posted by Djehuti (Member # 6698) on :
 
Now, for all the other posters who have brains...

Here is the Robins quote in its entirety.

"..Male and female skin colors were probably not uniform among the entire population of Egypt, with pigmentation being darker in the south [closer to sub-saharan Africans] and lighter in the north [closer to Mediterranean Near Easterners] A woman from the south would probably have had darker skin than a man from the North. Thus, the colorations used for skin tones in the art must have been schematic [or symbolic] rather than realistic; the clear gender distinction encoded in that scheme may have been based on elite ideals relating to male and female roles,in which women's responsibilities kept them indoors, so that they spent less time in the sun than men. Nevertheless, the significance of the two colors may be even deeper, making some as yet unknown but fundamental difference between men and women in Egyptian worldview..."-- Egyptologist, Gay Robins

I believe the very last part of the sentence to be true since as I've stated several times before there are various Afroasiatic speakers in Africa whose women paint their skin and faces with yellow ochre, particularly in certain occasions that are festive or auspicious. This custom is practiced by Saharan groups like the Tuareg as well as some Beja of the Eastern Desert and even certain ethnicities in the Horn.

There is nothing dumb about what I posted, unlike YOU. Yes the yellow color is symbolic as Robins, Yurco, Rice, many other Egyptologists have stated. How the hell can I specify what it symbolizes when nobody knows?! You see, unlike YOUR dumbass I try not to make presumptions especially when I have no evidence. My point about the face paint is that like ALL face and body paint worn by peoples of many cultures, the paint represents or is symbolic of something! Hence the connection, you twit!

So why didn't you open with an argument that perhaps Egyptian women painted their faces yellow??
-otherwise why bother putting up these women you dumb piece of shit

Egyptian women may very well have applied yellow paint on their faces, however the artwork shows yellow all over the skin, and to the degree that it is shown in artwork strongly suggests a convention than reality, again as agreed by many Egyptologists! So obviously it is YOU who is the the dumb sh|t. Don't get mad at me because I make sound sense while YOU do not.

was is Isis yellow and not Nefertari?
Why aren't they both the color of Nefertari jackass?

LOL I just explained it in my last post, you moronic worm! It's because Isis is a divinity while Nefertari is human! Thus the symbolism serves a distinction not only between men and women but apparently between women and goddesses!

If its painted black = real.

If its painted white or yellow its ''symbolic''.

This is why no one takes them serious. They are always in denial employing double standards.

^ WTF do you mean by that?? The yellow color is symbolic convention. What that symbolizes we don't know, only that it applied to women in art especially when portrayed with men. Of course a convention is not used 100% of the time hence the image of Tut and his wife having the same realistic color, stupid twit! The painting with Nefertari and Isis has Isis (a goddess) symbolized by the yellow color. It is not contradictory at all and yes cakes are made to be eaten, you dumb b|tch! LOL [Big Grin]

LOL double-standard is something YOU and your ilk do all the time. For example I recall it is you who focuses on the yellowish or light color of women which, again Egyptologists note is symbolic, yet you ignore the 'black' or chocolate complexions of the men. Why is that??

In terms of your debunked and false notions of anthropology, whenever "negroid" features are found in skulls outside of Sub-Sahara OR in Sub-Sahara that's very ancient, you claim them to be merely primitive "bushmanoid" or "australoid" traits yet when a skull is shown to have traits of narrow face and nose, it is automatically "Caucasoid" no matter where it is found even if it is found in Tanzania or southern India. Why is that? Why is it you claim Caucasoids to have diversity of traits but you claim Negroids aren't diverse at all, even though you cited a source stating Negroids to be heterogeneous??

Double-standards is all that you survive on even though they are nonsensical and can't protect you from FACTS which destroy your beliefs each and every time so keep dreaming Anglo-buffoon. [Wink]

The throne depiction of Tut, is likely what his real color was like. I have seen these artworks from up close, very very close at Cairo. This is one amongst many of the works showing him like this, which I have seen from close perspective. Unlike a picture...lol


I have summed up the affinities on him. This alone should make you shut up. Any normal thinking person would. But you keep arguing. lol

And yes, light skin did exist in that part of Africa, but this kind of yellow doesn't look natural on human skin. Many Egyptologists mention this as symbolism.

The convention that women were lighter because they stayed indoors does not excuse the fact that they are many shades lighter than the men or the fact that most women in that time did not stay indoors but worked outside especially in the case of Egyptian women.

So what is your point?

Cosign, this is either another person writing or simple a person with mental drops suffering from amnesia.

^ Indeed. The mentally deficient lyinass has an annoying habit of repeating topics discussed many times before. Even this topic was addressed to her several times and I posted a link to the last time it was discussed. Unless the lyinass is some elderly senior where dementia is common, I suggest she seeks professional psychiatric help.

Correct. All the painted depictions of Tut no matter what the variance in facial features show him with the same chocolate complexion.

That women were sometimes portrayed this way also means that the yellow is a convention and symbolic.

The human male will generally have sex with any type of human female. The cultural concept of marriage forces a dichotymy where women have to compete for men. Such competition led to significant dimorphism. Marriage is practiced in more advance civilizations where there is a significant amount of time needed to transfer cultural values to children. Simply put: more wealthy societies built up more complexed social constructs that required marriage to allow for the transfer of these contructs to the next generation.

However, what is very odd about my theory is that Orientals have the lowest dimorphism.

Black Women physically are significantly different than Black men (Breast, Buttocks, etc).

I have to admit, even today we don't see many dark skinned Egyptian women in the media. But then today we don't see Black women with naturally frizzy Afros very much. Considering that this color convention changed with various dynasties, I don't see how it can be seen as being much more than a fashion.

It is very common to see Egyptian women portrayed with natural African skin color such as below:

Don't know enough to understand why the color convention for Women changed.

^ As I have repeated, the yellow convention is symbolic. And secondly even a convention isn't followed 100% of the time. It's almost certain that the lack of this convention was to show more realism.

This makes no sense. Because biologically males tend to be more promiscuous while females not as much and because biologically females are the ones who bear the offspring this makes the females more choosy and selective about partners than males which is shown throughout nature among the vast majority of species. As such wouldn't it be the males who compete for females? Why do you think males tend to be much more competitive in general? Why do males in countless species of animals do displays either to directly attract females or indirectly through sparring and fights? You're right that marriage is a cultural concept, but I thought it's original purpose was to establish kinship bonds between different families as well as starting family units themselves?

In fact, because marriage is a socio-cultural system, what the hell does it have to do with biological dimorphism which is linked to the biological roles I pointed out earlier??

Yet marriage is also practiced by virtually all cultures worldwide, including so-called "primitive" cultures and definitely by poor people. The vast majority of people in the world are poor, yet that hasn't stopped them from marrying.

Yeah, so are all women regardless of color, unless they have some sort of estrogen defect. [Embarrassed]

No offense, but your racialist ideas are beginning to sound like Anglo-Idiot.

^ Women do indeed compete for men. In order for the marriage to survive women must keep their male partners sexually satisfied. This is why women wear make up to give the appearance of youth. They wear clothes to keep men's attention. Women compete with each other to out do each other in being feminine. This competition forces the female sex to differentiate from the male.


Don't mean to insult Orientals but any review of the averages would show that the female East Asian is not as significantly differentiated from the male in terms of physique compare to the African female body and the male. Buttocks are not enlarged, breast are rather small, hips are not significantly wider than the male counterpart.

Big asses are not an attractive feature. Only black males are attracted to them, because sexual dimorphism in negroid females is so low.

How the hell is this racism? It is science.

There was no selective pressures on Negroids which is why they lack phenotype diversity. The females just put on fat around their buttocks.

Still to this day, black men like huge asses, while as i said to all other races, especially whites this is seen repulsive.

I think you need to speak for your own white northern european culture. From what I understand and can see 12-year old or thin and small rear ends on grown women are probably only considered attractive in Anglo places like England and the U.S. today. Certainly not the way it is in most of the Mediterranean countries though. Your culture also deosn't consider the flat rearend as repulsive. I don't know about France . Don't know about the Far East either. Also don't know why I'm talking about this cr__. [Confused] lol!
BTW - Low degree of sexual dimorphism was very common or usual in ancient Egypt though not always found in the rest of black Africa.

The women depicted in the AE art were lighter because they were Berber or Middle Eastern women.

In Ancient Greece, African men mated with native Euro women. That;s why most men in modern Egypt are Y chromosome Haplotype E and in Greece many are the same.

Over time the Greeks and Egyptians became lighter and lighter due to all this mixing.

The Bible hints at this:
Ezekiel 23:20
Ezekiel 23:19

The AE's liked foreign women.

I certainly is stereotyping. steatopygia is not as common in Asia as it is in Africa, but there is no doubt that females in Eurasia still possess more body fat and such fat is still distributed in certain areas creating the femal bodess. As for females competing for males, I never said such does not exist however in nature most competation is between males. Also female competition in human societies depends on the cultural practices which again has nothing to do with biological features such as dimorphism.

I spend a lot of time in the Asian community. My wife is Korean so we have a lot of Korean friends. I have spent time in Asia and many various parts of the world. It is much easier for a male Asian to pass as a female Asian than it is for a male Black American to pass for a female Black American without some form of cosmetics or prosthetics (fake breasts, enlarged buttocks, etc).
 
Posted by Djehuti (Member # 6698) on :
 
^ LMAO [Big Grin] Well, that is some part of Korea or Korea-Town that you've visited. Of course there are going to be males whose physical appearances aren't all that masculine, but the same can be said for any group. I have seen just as plenty effeminate looking white males and yes even black males, but unlike you I don't stereotype. I've lived in the Asian community for far longer than you and I can say the vast majority of men--Korean or not--would still not get away with passing as women if they put on wigs. Your conjecture is not all that different from Anglo-Idiot's presumption that all black women look masculine and therefore unattractive! LOL True, I have seen my share of black women that do look androgynous or even mannish in the face, but that hasn't convinced me to stereotype let alone come up with some bogus hypothesis that sexual dimorphism is minimal to nonexistent among blacks! The vast majority of black women still appear no less feminine than white women, east asian women, etc.
