[QUOTE]Originally posted by Habsburg: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Dead: [qb] I Samuel 16: 12 and 17: 42 describe David as admoni, which translates as "reddish" or "ruddy". The Latin Vulgate translates admoni as "rufus" meaning "redhead" and the earlier Septuagint (LXX) as purrakes meaning "flaming red [haired]". It is most likely describing his red hair, not a ruddy complexion. Red hair, is hardly applicable to a "black" person. [/qb][/QUOTE]Do you have any evidence to suggest that the term redhead applied to their hair, rather than their whole body complexion? Not only that I have presented here evidence that the people who drew those images believed that David was a reddish brown complexioned person with thick black hair looking like dreadlocks. As a person living over a 1000 years after what makes you think you are better equipped to interpret the meaning of the texts than the people of that era? The assumption or more likely the wishful thinking that the biblical personalities were pinkish/white complexioned people prevents European scholars (many of whom know better now) from making or admitting to the simple most direct interpretations of the words. [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/Herculaneum_-_Hercules.jpg/558px-Herculaneum_-_Hercules.jpg[/IMG] Why should the term ruddy or sanguine refer to the seated lighter complexioned man than the one in standing in the foreground (Hercules)? If ruddy is applied to the man seated because he has pink cheeks, then you and your fellow Eurocentric scholars please tell me what other term(s) the people of that era used to describe people with the complexion displayed of Hercules, or Ptolemy in Lioness's post. The complexions are distinctive enough to warrant their own terms. Did they have any or not? The unwillingness of European scholars to use the already existing names for complexions exhibited by people whose civilizations they inherited because the people with those complexions today are either African, South Asian or Native American is simply grotty. Doxie, Dead, and Lioness that's you. These academic culture of these guys are so racist and satanic that they don't even want to honour their cultural and spiritual ancestors by acknowledging their complexions. Perhaps they don't truly regard them as their cultural and spiritual ancestors. It looks like Egyptology is the academic discipline that was created for the purpose of finding excuses not to call the ancient Egyptians black (or non-white, which might be more acceptable so some people hereabouts).
