[QUOTE]Originally posted by sneuropa: [QB] Presumably the daughter was given a Canaanite name because her mother was Canaanite? It seems to me that the Egyptian royal household was of very mixed race. I reckon that with all the foreign princesses sent as gifts/tribute to Egypt most of the princes and princesses could have been quite a mix of Syrian and African (non-KMT) races. Although Rameses had a Kemetian mother and father I think there could have been enough foreign blood to give him red hair. Even if there wasn't red hair in the Kemetian race(s) already. This is not implying that the Ancient Egyptians were "white" (what ever that means anyway). Its obvious that most Kemetians were of dark skin and hair- but there must have been some variety, especially amongst families which contained foreign members. The other question is whether the Canaanites were red haired? I suppose the above implies again but that the Syrians as a whole were paler than Kemetians and had even more foreign influences from Europe and Iran etc. regards, sneuropa [/QB][/QUOTE]
