[QUOTE]Originally posted by Marc Washington: [QB] . . Humanityb. Dynamite pictures. Fabulous work. I had a question about one. [IMG]http://www.memoiredafrique.com/images/amis/2010.jpg[/IMG] The Ndebele of South Africa wear neck rings - each thick and upwards of 12 rings or so. I've seen a few examples of the multiple neck rings in the BC and also now in your picture above: I'm glad to have seen it. Now, this one of the [b]hunter[/b] [IMG]http://www.memoiredafrique.com/images/amis/878.jpg[/IMG] with the oblong eyes is reminiscent of the Bushman. In this one, the hair is wavy. My mother is black but her hair is straight as she used the hot comb on it so straight hair in blacks might hide the fact that before treatment, it is woolly. So, some straight hair worldwide from ancient times that we see on statues and attribute to white ancestry might just be the treated woolly hair of an African. So, what we see and call "white" in these ancient statues might really be African. This image you show of the hunter, though, is interesting to me because it shows how the Asians (I think) likely came about: slanted-eyed San / Bushmen in Mongolia whose lands were invaded by whites from the Steppes resulting in slanted eyes remaining but new features of straight hair and lightened skin. Asians have this background, I believe. Your Nok terracotta of the hunter shows this possibility, I think (i.e. initially woolly hair but treated). In any case, all wonderful art you've shown. I am going to download this page so as not to loose access to these pictures. . . [/QB][/QUOTE]
