[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Pszemek: http://xoomer.alice.it/francescoraf/hesyra/Gebelein-linen.htm [qb]From this I conclude that 5600 years ago, the ancient Egyptians were a people with jet black hair and skin that varied from light brown to dark brown, just as it still does today.[/qb][/QUOTE]Yes black Africans varied in complexion and features, but again you miss the point that modern Egyptians are not the same as their ancient ancestors in that they are mixed with a variety of foreign non-Egyptian/non-African ancestors. [QUOTE] http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Egypte_louvre_285_scribe.jpg [qb]From this I conclude that the ancient Egyptians were recally vulcans from Star Trek. All you need is pointy ears. (just look at a picture of leonard nimoy) he is the guy on the right in this picture[/qb] http://www.filmbuffonline.com/uploaded_images/Zachary-Quinto-Leonard-Nimoy-747862.jpg [/QUOTE][b]LOL[/b] You conclude wrong! You obviously don't know that all of the original paint from the statue of the scribe was lost. Here is how the statue looked like several years ago: [IMG]http://www.beloit.edu/classics/minor/egyptian_scribe.jpg[/IMG] ^ Notice the splotches of dark paint that showed his [i]true[/i] skin color. As for his features, they too are not uncommon among Africans and together with his dark skin he actually looked more like the Sudanese man in the green shirt below than Leonard Nimoy!

You can't tell what a persons original hair color was just by looking at that person's mummy. Not only have thousands of years passed in dry weather, but there were also embalming chemicals used in mummification that could have altered the original hair color. Besides, Ramses identity and ethnic origin has been discussed many times most recently [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=006166]here[/URL]. And he was definitely not blonde or white. [QUOTE] [IMG]http://www.etravelphotos.com/egypt/photos/2002eg-005-23s-w.jpg[/IMG] [qb]From this I conclude that ramses was a black man. [/qb][/QUOTE]You can't make any accurate conclusion on how a person looked like based on artwork especially if it is an unpainted statue. If that's the case you might as well use actual paintings of Ramses like these: [IMG]http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/ramesses2squeens1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3119/2695323995_beecda8f25.jpg?v=0[/IMG] All in all I conclude that you, Przemyslaw, don't know what you're talking about and are obviously in denial of your Eurocentric, anti-black bias! :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
