[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [qb] You're far from the only one who has observed this double standard. The orthodoxy celebrates the Nubians as the "Black Pharaohs" all the time, but once you suggest that the Egyptians themselves may have also qualified for the "black" adjective they distract you with this whole "modern racial categories didn't exist back then". I'm all for giving the Nubian civilization more attention, but if Egyptologists want to advertise the Nubians' race, they can't play the anti-racialist with the Egyptians.[/qb][/QUOTE]Agree.[/qb][/QUOTE]What's new? Typical Euronut double-think. Racialize Nubians but not Egyptians, even though both were ethnically related. [b]LOL[/b] [QUOTE][qb]Swenet: [QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [qb]BTW, if Egyptian color schemes for men were really symbolic as implied by the thesis author, I bet that a lot of Egyptians, especially those in Upper Egypt, weren't that much lighter than Nubians.[/qb][/QUOTE]If you ask me, the Ancient Egyptians weren't pigmented to the max either, like some Nubian groups would have been. If you look at early holocenic cave paintings, such as the cave of swimmers, the people are painted (mostly) brown skinned, I believe more highly pigmented figures are also represented. I wouldn't say symbolic coloration extended that far back in time. Slightly lighter skin color should be expected, given their latitude. [/qb][/QUOTE]I agree. Even in adjacent areas of North Africa like Libya and Tunisia where indigenous people with minimal foreign ancestry still live, they have light brown-- hazel or mocha like complexions. [/QB][/QUOTE]
