[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kalonji: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rahotep101: [qb] The 'Armenoid' concept seems to be Rohl's. He goes so far as to postulate Zagros mountain origins. The acumulation of archarological evidence for Sumerian influcence seems to be compelling, the most direct corellation being on the Gebel el Arak knife. Elephants and twisted snakes in no way discredit the correspondence of the serpent-necked felines, (serpopards) which is a specific device trasplanted one way or the other. The Sumerian version above appears on a cylindrical seal from Uruk, about 3000 years BC. Around the same age as the Narmer Palette. Cylinder seals are known to be a Mesopotamian invention, also used in Egypt between the late predynastic and middle kingdom. Seals found in Egypt, according to Petrie's contemporary, Dutch archaeologist Henri Frankford,showed 'by their very material and by their deasign to have been made in Mesopotamia during the second half of the protoliterate period'. The iconography on the early seals includes mythical aminals typical of Mesopotamian culture. Petrie found one such at a Nakada II grave, including 'the griffin with horizontal wings which Amiet has shown comes specifically from Susa'. [/qb][/QUOTE]This is exactly what I mean. The only reason he's even able to make this irrelevant post (it doesn't belong in this thread) and pass it for some kind of relevant answer is because people couldn't resist responding to Simplegirls off topic post. Rahotep, if you think you're off the hook that easily you're mistaken, this thread is not about Naqada II artefacts. Exotic materials and motifs occur in most civilizations. You said earlier that Derry held that the skeletons in Naqada II elite cemeteries were significantly differentiated from preceeding Naqada I remains, and that they supposedly tended towards ''Caucasoids'' in cranial size. Where is the data that you so confidently refer to, but never show? [QUOTE]Derry was indeed a proponent of the idea of a foreign elite arriving [b]at that time.[/b][/QUOTE] [QUOTE]As for negroids living in Naqada in predynastic times, [b]they evidently shared the neighbourhood with caucasoids.[/b][/QUOTE] [QUOTE]The quote is given in David Rohl's book 'Legend: the Genesis of Civilization'. [b]It actually compares the types of skull found from people of the Naqada I and II era burials from the same site.[/b][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
