Whatever the case may be, each of the two photos of what is supposedly the same sculpture give a different impression as to what you call "negroid traits" source: http://books.google.com/books?id=NKWm9Q0vbT4C&pg=PA59&lpg=PA59&dq= ____________________________________________________________ the other brother: [IMG]http://picturestack.com/536/966/vRgPicture14Gd7.png[/IMG] ________________________________________________________ [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: We discussed this before with Wally in several past threads on Egyptian color symbolism. [/QUOTE]Wally's thread on color symbolism was brief, simplistic and the information racially slanted. That is why I had to make an unbiased and more extensive thread on the subject: Color Symbolism in African Culture. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=007334 ^^^ Egypt also covered here [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: 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]complete speculation how about some more typical AE art showing young boys as opposed to that oddball circumcision scene? [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: So if the light hue of women was not symbolic, then what are we to make of the chocolate dark hue of the men? [/QUOTE]Coffins of Khnum-Nakht and Nekht-Ankh [IMG]http://picturestack.com/538/255/NhZPicture16Mh3.png[/IMG] ____________________________________________________^^^^this skin tone is more orangish beige than chocolate [IMG]http://picturestack.com/538/50/ufKPicture15oLQ.png[/IMG] ^^^^^ well how about Sennefer? Sennefer has the same chocolate complexion that many Africans, Palestinians, Indians, Peruvians, Southern Europeans, Turks etc, etc have. So it doesn't prove something [/QB][/QUOTE]
