[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [QB] Rahotep is debunking himself Why is there a need for Lower Egyptian comparative material, if he says [b]all[/b] Ancient Egyptians are identical to the ancients? The only way he can use that as an argument is if he is conceding to himself in silence that ancient Upper Egypt was significantly more ''African'' than ancient Lower Egypt That is where the self defeating part comes in; Rahotep knows that with the exception of several pockets of noticeably darker people in Luxor and Aswan and other modern areas, most people between the 1st cataract (the ancient boundary) and the delta look on ave. like North Africans from Libya and Morocco. In fact, since Libya and Morocco have darker people as well - on par of those dark remnant Egyptian people I mentioned - there is every reason to believe that modern Egypt as a whole compares favorably to other same lattitude North Africans. Ancient Upper Egyptians, on the other hand, are distinguishable from Magrebians and Libyans in both depicted skin color and cranio-facial traits. This is why you don't want to participate, and you know it. [QUOTE]This site is already like an endless chessboard of dead Egyptians! You really want more of the same? Get a life! Anyway more archaeology survives in the south, both because the north continued to be more populous, so more stone was recycled, and because the north is wetter, so wooden and papyrus objects have survived less well. The north coast has also been prone to destructive earthquakes, and there has been more intensive farming in the Delta. [b]Due to these conditions, the probability is that more dark images will have survived.[/b][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
