How "objective" of you.[/QUOTE]What do they look like to you? To me they look like statues with faded paint and facial features that easily fit within East African variation. For example look at the seated scribe and compare his face to this photo. [IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/28jxpqo.jpg[/IMG] We know the paint is faded because in earlier pictures you can see remnants of the dark brown paint which have since faded or been wiped off. [IMG]http://koofers-static.s3.amazonaws.com/flashcard_images/51ffd0b933eb27d1787fa3a78193bce5.jpg[/IMG] Take note of what Keita has to say about this evidence: Art objects are not generally used by biological anthropologists. They are suspect as data and their interpretation highly dependent on stereotyped thinking. However, because art has often been used to comment on the physiognomies of ancient Egyptians, a few remarks are in order. A review of literature and the sculpture indicates characteristics that also can be found in the Horn of (East) Africa (see, e.g., Petrie 1939; Drake 1987; Keita 1993). Old and Middle Kingdom statuary shows a range of characteristics; many, if not most, individuals depicted in the art have variations on the narrow-nosed, narrow-faced morphology also seen in various East Africans. This East African anatomy, once seen as being the result of a mixture of different "races," is better understood as being part of the range of indigenous African variation.
