[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] Here is a comparison between an ancient Egyptian painting and a modern farmer from outside Cairo. Not very different. So the idea that the ancient Egyptians just disappeared and was replaced by "white" invaders do not hold up. There have occurred mixing with immigrating and invading peoples but there are still people who seem to correspond with the ancient ones. Also one could caution about making too many claims about todays North African populations and their phenotypes without having visited any of those countries. It is something one see a lot on the internet among people who in a confident tone tell us how North Africans look like. It can be hard to get a good overview based only on books or information from the net. I have myself seen a lot of claims on the net that do not correspond at all with what I have seen in different countries. One claim I remember is that the Terracotta Warriors in Xían, China should depict black people and originally been painted black. I have seen them, some of them in close up and have them explained by Chinese archaeologists so those crazy claims on the net can only come from people who never visited China or saw those statues (or people who did but choose to lie about it).
