[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QUOTE]Originally posted by MIke111 Clyde claims that these are Gutians; The art is way too crude to be Sumerian, so maybe he's right. [IMG]http://redarte.com.ar/wp-content/uploads/R0130ADI2.jpg[/IMG] Statuettes of two worshipers, from the Square Temple at Eshnunna (modern Tell Asmar), Iraq, ca. 2700 BCE. Gypsum inlaid with shell and black limestone, tallest figure approx. 2’ 6” high. Iraq Museum, Baghdad.

Look at the date 2700 BC The Gutian period starts approximately 2154 BC. an over 500 year difference in relation to the above statues The Gutians ruled for about 100 years Mike says Gudea king of Lagash is Gutian on his website and some scholars think the name Gudea is derived from Gutian. Gudea was a ruler of the state of Lagash in Southern Mesopotamia who ruled ca. 2144 - 2124 BC - that is in the Gutian time period Clyde stop making up stuff [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] [b] Gutians[/b] Physical appearance - Wiki; According to the historian Henry Hoyle Howorth (1901), Assyriologist Theophilus Pinches (1908), renowned archaeologist Leonard Woolley (1929) and Assyriologist Ignace Gelb (1944) [b] the Gutians were pale skinned and blonde haired. This identification of the Gutians as fair haired first came to light when Julius Oppert (1877) published a set of tablets he had discovered which described Gutian (and Subarian) slaves as namrum or namrűtum, meaning "light colored" or "fair-skinned". [/b] This racial character of the Gutians as blondes or being light skinned was also taken up by Georges Vacher de Lapouge in 1899 and later by historian Sidney Smith in his Early history of Assyria (1928). Ephraim Avigdor Speiser however criticised the translation of[b] "namrum" as "light colored".[/b] An article was published by Speiser in the Journal of the American Oriental Society attacking Gelb's translation. Gelb in response accused Speiser of circular reasoning. In response Speiser claimed the scholarship regarding the translation of "namrum" or "namrűtum" is unresolved. The art supports the view they were "light skin". .
