[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Myra Wysinger: [IMG]http://wysinger.homestead.com/wall3.jpg[/IMG] [b]Photograph of painted wall relief in the tomb of Ramesses III[/b] Egypt in Africa, (1996), Theodore Clenko, editor -- article by Frank J. Yurco, page 110-111[/QUOTE]Shame on Frank Yurco for his dishonest contribution to Egypt in Africa. [IMG]http://www.fadzter.com/smilies/shame.gif[/IMG] The above article by Yurco is FLAWED and even DISHONEST, and here is why: [i]Egyptologist Dr. Frank Yurco is one such person that [b]completely misrepresents[/b] the "Table of Nations" scene in the Ramses III tomb. In a 1996 article on the Ramses III tomb reliefs, Yurco makes a number of false statements as he conveniently overlooks the actual tomb evidence.[3] 1. Yurco claims that the Sethe/Lepsius edition "is indeed a pastiche and not at all what actually is on the wall in Ramses III's tomb reliefs. ...Accordingly, all claims based upon the 1913 pastiche...rest upon a nineteenth to early twentieth century copy that is not correct!" Yurco misrepresents the work of Sethe/Lepsius and does not explain that they simply reduced the scene from 16 figures to 4 figures, and that the image of each group of men and the accompanying texts are condensed but that the reproduction is otherwise ACCURATE, as the actual tomb photographs indicate. [b]Yurco conveniently shows only 2 members per group and does not show ALL FOUR members of the Egyptian or Nubian groups -> IN ORDER TO OMIT THEIR NAME.[/b] 2. Yurco compounds his error by claiming that the "Ramses III reliefs are *exactly* like the Sety I wall reliefs." [emphasis added]. This statement is completely false. From Yurco's own photographs of the two tombs, the Ramses III and Seti I wall reliefs of the four "Table of Nations" groups are obviously different. In each case the appearance and attire of the four groups are shown differently in the two tombs. Not only are there different ethnic groups in the B and D position, but the Egyptians and Nubians are also portrayed markedly different. In fact, several of the groups in the Seti I tomb reliefs are not even wearing shirts! Anyone can compare the images in the two tombs and see that not only are the Ramses III and Seti I scenes obviously different, but that Yurco is openly making false statements. Notice the undeniable contrast between the Seti tomb images (fig. 5-6) and the Ramses III tomb images (fig. 4).[/i] - Professor Manu Ampim.
