[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ The difference in complexions painted in tomb murals may be just an artistic convention, for there are many examples of Egyptians painted in alternating light and dark colors both among males as well as females. It is true many Nilotic peoples have a custom of painting themselves with red ochre which interestingly is also practiced by many pastoralist Bantu groups in other parts of Africa like the Himba of Namibia. Nilotic people also use ochre to color their hair red and even cow urine to bleach their hair blonde. Both blonde and red colored haired Nubians are also displayed on tomb murals. Although I disagree with Red,White,Blue,Christian's claims of genetic lineages corresponding to folk legends, I do agree with astenb that the Nilotic folk seem to have had large impact and influence on neighboring African peoples especially Afrasian speakers. This can be seen in linguistics as he showed in Nilotic influence in Egyptian language but it doesn't stop there. The leopard skins of the priests, the cattle rituals and bull symbolism of the kings, etc. I am beginning to agree with Truth's hypothesis that advanced culture and kingdom building was spurred on by the domestication of cattle by early Nilo-Saharans. Even the map showing the dispersal of early Nilotic speakers seem to correlate with the development of civilizations in the regions of dispersal from the western Sahel to the Great Lakes region.
