[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: [qb] Some familiar images: Take this guy... [IMG]http://sarabe3.tripod.com/images/hpimage002.jpg[/IMG][/qb][/QUOTE]That guy is a 'Palestu' (Philistine?). I can tell by the red feathered headress. He likely marked as a Sea-person more than an Aamu. But of course the Philistines were known to have colonized the Levant as well. [QUOTE][qb]^He has a distinctive attire from this guy... [IMG]http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/ames150/slide19.jpg[/IMG][/qb][/QUOTE]Definitely an Aamu. I'm not sure, but I think most scholars label him as Assyrian. [QUOTE][qb] [IMG]http://www.geocities.com/enbp/images/races1.jpg[/IMG] Actual Wall painting and below… [IMG]http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/8011/remetwaamwneheswtemehwkvf1.jpg[/IMG] ...repro[/qb][/QUOTE]Of course Aamu, Kushites, and Tamahu (Libyans). Don't know exactly what ethny of Aamu though. [QUOTE][qb] [IMG]http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/seapeople3.jpg[/IMG] Defeated Philistines being led into captivity - Courtesy [i]touregypt.net[/i] ^Note the beardless figures.[/qb][/QUOTE]The same as the very first close-up pic of the Philistine. [QUOTE][qb] [IMG]http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/setiwar1.jpg[/IMG] Defeating enemies at Pekanan - presumably in Canaan. [/qb][/QUOTE]Wish this was a larger pic. [QUOTE][qb] [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.[/qb][/QUOTE]One thing I notice in that hook or whatever, the Aamu has features that look very east Asian-- slanted eyes and pale yellowish skin. His form of his dress looks typical for West Asians, but the color and patterns look unique. [QUOTE][qb] [IMG]http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/enemies7.jpg[/IMG][/qb][/QUOTE]From left to right: Libyan, Kushite, Assyrian, Philistine, and Hittite(?). [QUOTE][qb]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. [/qb][/QUOTE]I think what Osiriun meant was there were certain features the Egyptians held consistent in their portrayal of Asiatics. [/QB][/QUOTE]
