[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by osiriun: [qb] Egyptians seemed to have stereotypes. However, most artifacts of the Near East do indeed seem to reflect the bearded look. [IMG]http://www.alienshift.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/ancientbabylonianaliens.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes. In fact, even today heavy beards are a common characteristic of 'Middle Eastern' men. The statue above by the way looks Babylonian or Assyrian. [QUOTE][qb]In fact, do Egyptians ever depict themselves bearded in this fashion?[/qb][/QUOTE]Not in the full and heavy bearded quality they depicted Aamu. Still, I have seen rare images though of Egyptian men who appear to have natural beards. In fact a couple of images that come to mind are the ones shown on Tut's box-chest depicting him battling against Egypt's enemies. On both sides-- one showing him trampling Kushites and the other trampling Asiatics-- there is a lone Egyptian soldier fighting in the front who is bearded. Cotonou can probaly blow the picture up (but better lighting is preferred). ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
