[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] As far as the male statues, most of them are wearing sheep skin clothes which is taboo to the Egyptians and no Egyptian statue is portrayed as having the hand gestures that the Sumerian men have. Take the so-called 'MacGregor Man' of predynastic Egypt for example... [IMG]http://www.ancient-egypt.co.uk/ashmolean/images/2005-mar-11%20173.jpg[/IMG] ^ He is bearded, yes but his beard is not curled or layered like Sumerian depictions. His eyebrows are thick but they do not meet in the middle like the uni-browed Sumerians. Also he stands with his arms and hands straight down by his sides which is a common stance to be repeated throughout dynastic times. Instead of the thick brimmed round hat worn by Sumerians, instead he wears a tight fitting round [i]cap[/i] seen in dynastic times worn by gods like Ptah but interestingly is also found worn by African men like the Puntites. He is also wearing a [i]penis-sheath[/i] something worn by tribal African groups in Sudan and Ethiopia! Here is Naqada statue of a male figure, one [i]without[/i] a penis sheath. [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Predynastic_statue_of_Min.JPG[/IMG] And here is a reconstruction from Egyptologists of what the statue above looked like with its head as well as what the entire Naqada settlement may have looked like. [IMG]http://www.digitalegypt.ucl.ac.uk/3d/coptos/coptos_type1_temple2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.digitalegypt.ucl.ac.uk/3d/coptos/coptos_type1_temple1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.digitalegypt.ucl.ac.uk/3d/coptos/coptos_type2_temple.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.digitalegypt.ucl.ac.uk/3d/coptos/coptos_type1_rearview.jpg[/IMG] Oh my. It looks awfully African. Perhaps the Egyptologists who recreated this were Afrocentric as well. [b]LOL[/b] As for the pottery, the similarities in color and the use of geometric designs are superficial at best. What they actually depict if one takes a closer look is more revealing. The Sumerian one depicting an ibex (wild goat) and the Egyptian one depicting an (African) antelope. The actual make and model of the pottery despite color and geometric symbols are obviously different as NO archaeologist has ever claimed Egyptian pottery to be derived from Mesopotamia or elsewhere outside of Africa! In fact pottery in Africa predates ANYTHING in the Near East! [/QB][/QUOTE]
