[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] the point is that there's a picture of a Minoan barebacked of the same color of an Egyptian as per these paintings. His features and non-sloping forehead appear to be similar to a Greek type. If you take a Northern European they might have problems in the southern sun. But many Europeans how would burn in a sudden sun exposure will tan if they have gradual exposure. In addition Southern Europeans, Mediterraneans are somewhat darker to begin with. As per the Southern United States many European settlers were of English, German and Dutch stock not many Mediterraneans. Some would burn easily others could tan. The answer to the problem was simple, wear clothing, which they did. They had hats and scarves to prevent "redneck". Your theory is basically silly although it may have a small element of truth to it. You have to look at farmers today. There are many European descended American farmers out there right now all day in the Southern sun. They have clothing on to protect them. The people that do the picking these days are primarily Mexican because they can not pay them much. The primary reason for the enslavement of Africans was that it was free labor. All they had to do is supply food and shelter. It was economic exploitation similarly motivated to the indentured servitude of Europeans by other Europeans. Prior to emancipation sharecropping was limited to poor landless "whites", usually working marginal lands for absentee landlords. Mike do more research before you start freestyling. At the same time it was probably easier for the Africans of in the hot sun, not having to worry about sunburn. You act like you've discovered the Loch Ness monster when it's stating the obvious but erasing the economic motive. Because of these paintings is it proper to assume that ancient Egyptians were out in the fields all day bare back farming? Maybe. Were the UV levels the same then as they are today? I don't know. The people depicted in such paintings are various shades of brown and when they show people who look like they are farming they are not even the much darker black color they use to depict Nubians. They are that reddish brown color like the picture of the Minoan fisherman.
