[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [qb] above dana also seems to see these as hats or some kind of headgear. The woman in the center is also carrying an object on top of her head. If the painting was an attept to look like European hair this is the closest hairstyle, yet unlike in the painting the hair is not covering the ear. It doesn't look the same to me, the painting looks like some sort of turban type thing [IMG]http://hairstyletwist.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/img177web.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.temakel.com/fototassilinomades.jpg[/IMG] but obviously if you were trying to pull a scam you wouldn't try to imply a hairstyle from the 1900s unless joking. To me the women are simply wearing headgear and garments typical of NA. The main issue people are having is the lack of skin darkness.If they were dark no one would be talking about what's on top of their heads. [/qb][/QUOTE]Al Takruri said "Another fraud tipoff, one woman is blonde, one redhead, one brunette, and one ravenette.' This is a great point and something I had not known or noticed before because of the apparently not very similar rendition. A good way to say "Look we Europeans were all represented as the hamites."lol! The African woman you've shown here is a Tuareg as I remember, and they don't typically wear turbans on their heads. To me neither the Fulani women with turned up noses shown in Takruri's posting, nor the painted women riding oxen on this rock art look very authentic. I don't know what the people who depicted this art was trying to depict on these women's heads or if they are just hairstyles all that I know is when I first saw them they struck me as looking like something from an early Parisien French fashion studio, and that is even before I knew Lhote had taken part in supposedly redoing them. And, what kind of traditional Berber garments look cape0like ponchos lyin_ss. The Berber form of poncho is called the Djelaba and looks nothing like the Euro-fad Mexican ones depicted here. There are still women that ride oxen in the Sahel area, but they are called the Kanuri. The Garamantes traditionally rode oxen, but the Garamantes were considered Ethiopians. Isidore 6th c. said “there are three tribes of Ethiopians: Hesperians, Garamantes and Indians” (See IX ii 128.in The Etymologies of Isidore of Seville, Stephen A. Barney, 2006, p. 199). [/QB][/QUOTE]
