[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ [b]LOL[/b] Sorry lyinass but ancient Egyptians color symbolism is different from modern day favoritism of women with actual light complexions. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: I'm not sure if the reddish brown hue of Egyptian males had to do [b]with concepts of the blood of life so much as the average complexion[/b][/QUOTE]It has been mentioned before by Egyptologists that the red paint may have had a youthful connotation to it, and there are several murals that confirm this, such as this one: [IMG]https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQRjfegKPx6hkP8VfG20UCjw6inoI7oVPXQ8mldZ7TPkIChVWJx[/IMG] You don't see it in this repro, but the original image of this mural is similar to these scenes: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3tPMmmmHr-I/TqI-FCSLkhI/AAAAAAAACKg/-pxuIACDy5w/s640/ancient-egyptian-circumcision.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Akmanthor.jpg in the sense that the two figures who are doing the shooting are depicted lighter skinned (reddish), while the instructing figures behind them are depicted darker skinned (brown proper).[/qb][/QUOTE]We discussed this before with Wally in several past threads on Egyptian color symbolism. I believe the lighter color on males is symbolic of them having not entered manhood yet. In a lot of African cultures boys are not recognized as men until they are initiated into manhood, usually by circumcision. Note that in one of the pictures are two boys colored yellow like females who are being circumcised by dark 'official' men. [QUOTE][qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: LOL I'm sure if these lineages were 'Near Eastern' or even European, we would not only know which specific lineages these were but we would NEVER heard the end of these findings.[/QUOTE]Well, whatever continental origin one believes this lineage has, it is another slap in the face of those who hold that the Ancient Egyptians are identical to the moderns. Nekht Ankh [IMG]http://www.ancient-egypt.co.uk/manchester/images/nekht_ankht.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.ancient-egypt.co.uk/manchester/images/manchester_museum_1100.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE][b]LOL[/b] Indeed. Note the "negroid" traits of nose etc. [/QB][/QUOTE]
