[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rat-ho-pig1001: [qb] This is a better photo of the Menes statue, the version black-Egypt advocates prefer has been somewhat distorted. [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/195/menes.jpg/] [IMG]http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/261/menes.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/qb][/QUOTE]So you still think it looks "caucasian". Okay so how about this statue? [IMG]http://www.histoire-fr.com/images/amenhotep_III_tete1_british_museum.gif[/IMG] [QUOTE][qb]I stand my my contention that modern Copts are the closest living people to the ancient Egyptians.[/qb][/QUOTE]Even though Copts are a Christian demonination, and Copts vary in their looks depending on what part of Egypt they live just as Egyptian Muslims, and that the Coptic elite are northern Delta people who have known significant European ancestry. :rolleyes: [QUOTE][qb]Her'es a question, what colour are the inlay eyes in this predynastic egyptian figure? [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/812/predynasticblueeyes.jpg/] [IMG]http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/7117/predynasticblueeyes.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/qb][/QUOTE][b]A better view[/b] [IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3544/3831743376_c9129c98ab.jpg[/IMG] Blue because of the blue stones. Are you suggesting this is reflective of reality even though very few statues feature such eye color? By the way many African cultures share a belief that gods or in human form may have 'odd' eye colors like blue, green, yellow etc. The predynastic figure likely represents a goddess. Unless you think she is a blue-eyed European, if so where is the evidence? [/QB][/QUOTE]
