[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] Truthcentric, did you ever notice how that the Egyptians in some of this art look black [IMG]http://www.metmuseum.org/Imageshare/eg/large/vs10.130.2600.jpg[/IMG] while others like this below look like they don't look black or perhaps uncertain [IMG]http://www.metmuseum.org/Imageshare/eg/large/12.180.243d.jpg[/IMG] look at the features, although you have some Somalis and Ethiopians who don't have the broad features this guy doesn't look like them. They usually have longer narrower heads. or look at this; [IMG]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4314316726_3ea114f342.jpg[/IMG] look at the very small nose with small nostrils doesn't even look Semitic like some horn Africans, doesn't look broad like SSA noses. Some of the ancient Egyptians definately look like black Africans to me. Others like the above look like they might be Levantines or Mediterraneans, Sea people, Europeans or something, or some mix thereof. Doesn't look African to me. I could be wrong but find me a tribe of people with small noses like that, not single anecdotal examples. Or look at the relief in the center, the nose is slightly upturned. Some of the Ethiopians and Somalis have straight noses but they point downward like the Semites. This nose does not look like that. I realize that that's politically incorrect and not a political advantage for black people but that's the way I see it. I could sort of ignore what my eyes are telling me and say dark skin, in Africa, he's one of ours but I just feel dishonest in doing so. And the Levant and mid East are so close by, closer than the horn. The culture seems multi racial to me, it's a natural conclusion. Why is it such an issue? because people want have it all one way or the other. I apologize to the other black people in this forum for this but I think the sense of a political advantage here is greatly overestimated. [/QB][/QUOTE]
