[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: [QB] ^^The bearded figure you posted doesn't appear to be that of ancient Egypt art...or is it? [QUOTE]Originally posted by osiriun: In fact, do Egyptians ever depict themselves bearded in this fashion?[/QUOTE]I have come across mentions of rare occasions of Egyptian figures sporting beards [haven't seen any wall paintings of such myself], which isn't of the fake-looking 'divine' or 'royalty' type attached to the chin of the person, but I haven't come across any pictures depicting Egyptian figures with the bushy or thick types commonly seen in "SW Asian" personalities. Some familiar images: Take this guy... [IMG]http://sarabe3.tripod.com/images/hpimage002.jpg[/IMG] ^He has a distinctive attire from this guy...

[IMG]http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/setiwar1.jpg[/IMG] Defeating enemies at Pekanan - presumably in Canaan. [IMG]http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/enemies6.jpg[/IMG] Apparently some “Near Eastern” figure, displaying the "characteristic" look as that of the “Aamu” labeled figures in the above wall Mural. [IMG]http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/enemies7.jpg[/IMG] Osiriun, you say that the Egyptians seemed to have stereotypes of "SW Asian" folks, but the variety posted here does seem to indicate distinctive looks amongst these people. This cannot be more clearer than the figures next to one another in the very last image. Were all this people [the "SW Asian" personalities] referred to as "Aamu"? Remains to be demonstrated.
