[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] . [b]“The change found in body plan is suggested to be the result of the later groups having a more tropical (Nilotic) form than the preceding populations.” [/b] Zakrzewski, S.R. (2003). Variation in ancient Egyptian stature and body proportions. Am. J. Phys. Anthropol., Wiley-Liss, Inc. 121(3):219-229 _________________________________________________________ there is a similarity in body breadth between ancient Egyptians and Mediterraneans/Near Easterners. This does not prove that the ancient Egyptians were part Mediterranean or Near Eastern. It shows they might have been. It's uncertain. It could also be soley African [IMG]http://wysinger.homestead.com/Gebelelarak.jpg[/IMG] This Egyptian item for instance, The Gebel el-Arak Knife is a 25.50 cm long knife dating from circa 3300 to 3200 BCE, the late pre-dynastic period in Egypt, which when it was purchased in Cairo[1] was said to have been found at the site of Gebel el-Arak, south of Abydos. The opposite side of the handle shows Mesopotamian influence[2] featuring the god El, wearing Mesopotamian clothing, flanked by two upright lions symbolizing the Morning and Evening Stars (now both identified with the planet Venus) ___________________________________________________ this does not prove anything but it does show some cultural connection between Egypt and the Caananites. It's possible they may have been fu[i]c[/i]king each other sometimes [/QB][/QUOTE]
