[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Anglo_PrimeIdiot: [qb] The sallow or light hue of ancient egyptian females was not symbolic, but represents their real skin hue. Eye-witness descriptions of such pigmentation of living ancient egyptians is found preserved in various papyrus - [QUOTE]Snachomenus, aged about 20, of middle size, [b]sallow complexion[/b], round faced and straight nosed [/QUOTE]This is from an ancient papyrus translated by Dr. Young, found in Morton (1846). There are many more examples. Game over Afronuts... [/qb][/QUOTE]So if the light hue of women was not symbolic, then what are we to make of the chocolate dark hue of the men? Please don't give that pigsh*t about 'tans' again. :o Also, can you provide us the papyrus text you cite in its original Mdu-Neter text as opposed to a translated version? You'll have to forgive me that I don't trust anything you translate not only because you're a dishonest troll but I find many Egyptian texts tend to be mistranslated such as for example the common mistranslation of the word hedj with metal determinative to being 'white' as opposed to 'shiny'. Game's [i]been[/i] over for YOU Euronuts. :) [/qb][/QUOTE]He is referring to a late dynastic, probably more like post dynastic text. I forgot its exact content, but it mentions several Upper Egyptians, and their appearances. I believe one or more of them is described as (dark?)brown, and the rest honey complexioned. I believe it, or some other post dynastic text also contrasts post dynastic Egyptians with Meroitic Nubians, who are described as ''real blacks'' (notice an early form of the 'true negro' stereotype is being used here). The text makes a skin color distinction between post dynastic Southern Egyptians (and therefore also Northern Sudanese) vs post dynastic Kushites. Nothing new. [/QB][/QUOTE]
