[QUOTE]Originally posted by Whatbox: [QB] ^The West is the best. I've freakin seen some awesome pictures of Berber dress and those who wear Kente. Where are all those pictures Doug or King posted of Tuareg looking hard as hell? It was those mofos alone (as far as the picture) in the desert, even a few chick's pictures i've seen (well one was Siwa -- do they just consider themselves Berber or also show solidarity with Kel Tamasheq?) Back on point though: [URL=http://www.flickr.com/photos/menesje/2379313759/] [IMG]http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/937/50175611.JPG[/IMG][/URL] (^clickable) [IMG]http://www.oocities.com/ekwesi.geo/image012.gif[/IMG] What's so amazing in the art is the attention to detail not just in the way of facial features but also individual demeanors. The bottom picture isn't ancient "Egyptian" though, it is Medjay. Like the guy who was said to be such in "The Mummy": [IMG]http://content8.flixster.com/photo/76/23/79/7623794_gal.jpg[/IMG] Cool guy and bird though. I'm just sayin they could have gotten that one a bit closer. :D And on that note, on the topic of this thread 4 Common Types: [IMG]http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumblarge_163/1184114019iH03lj.jpg[/IMG] 1.) just African I find many pictures to me - no matter the nose width, facial height, or whatever else folks emphasize - have something about them which purely suggests Africa ("pure" said for emphasis as if in casual conversation, not said for scientific accuracy -- i don't believe in any actual such archetypal proxy phenotype from which to guage a person's "Africanity"). This is type [IMG]http://www.touregypt.net/images/touregypt/defense6.jpg[/IMG] 2.) ambiguous features Then there are those who look like they could be viewed a number of ways because people see what they want to. At the moment looks totally and perfectly black but there are times i might glance at these and others from the mixed region living today in and outside of Egypt come to mind. But i usually don't mind over it or think about it for more than a second and a half. [IMG]http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gCHCfEFCskk/0.jpg[/IMG] 3.) Combination of 1 and 4 Then there are individuals who when i see them they look like a mixture of type 1.) the obvious African phenotype (regardless of nose width or other things Aryocentrists get boners over) and type 4.) (below) who when i see these i tend to think of how many people there are TODAY in regions that comprised the a. egyptian world / empire must have had daddies or great great ^ x grand fathers who looked like the above. People tend to over think about [b]influence on[/b] ancient egypt -- it was a superpower that lasted for over 3 millenia, even in its Wane easily (the way they recount it at least) putting down and enslaving such scourges as the invading Sea Peoples (a Sea fairing band of destroyers of a number of other mighty civilizations in Eurasia before putting Egypt in their sights). [b]There is ample, no, buku evidence of Nile Valley influence on West Eurasia's people's genetics / ancestry, alphabets, religion, culture / lifestyle, food, etc. Even before the Pharaohs.[/b] So why can't they be Egyptian mixed? This study of the an ancient Israel culture and people called Natufians who are believed to be responsible for the "Neolithic" or people in the Middle East and Europe learning how to farm are said by a 2005 or 6 study to have had about as much of "a [i][b]clear[/b][/i] sub-Saharan component" in them as Eurasian component evident in them. [IMG]http://images.cdn.fotopedia.com/flickr-4065316093-image.jpg[/IMG] 4.) Beak nosed I was trying really hard to look up a picture of a fairly Caucasian-Middle Eastern looking individual. Any other day the pics of this type aren't hard to find. Anyway did as well as i could. Lamin brought up an excellent point. Even before, but especially after seeing many pictures and reading studies on ancient Egyptian homogeneity (them all resembling themselves more so than any other population -- whoever those were) in terms of certain traits at least i don't really have much of an issue with the majority (at least 60%) of "beak nosed" pictures i see, in terms of questioning their native "Egyptianity" and "Africanity".
