[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] It does not say if the author of this article is white, black or something else. But for those who consider the information in that article wrong you could maybe go there and change it if you are interested. [QUOTE]Depictions of women with cornrows have been found in Stone Age paintings in the Tassili Plateau of the Sahara, and have been dated as far back as 3000 B.C. As well as the cornrow style is seen in depictions of ancient Cushitic people of the horn of Africa wearing this style of braids as far back as 2000 B.C. [b]The traditional hairstyle of Roman Vestal Virgins incorporated cornrows.[/b] The tradition of female hairstyling in cornrows has remained popular throughout Africa, particularly in the Horn of Africa and West Africa and the rest of Africa as a whole. [b]Historically, male hairstyling with cornrows can be traced as far back as the early 5th century BC within Ancient Greek sculpture and artwork, typically shown on warriors and heroes. Artwork and statues of different Middle Eastern and Mediterranean civilisations dating back to the 3rd and 4th century BC also suggest that such hairstyles were common amongst warrior cultures.[/b] More modern male depictions occur in the 19th century Ethiopia, where warriors and kings such as Tewodros II and Yohannes IV were depicted wearing cornrows.[/QUOTE][URL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornrows]Cornrows[/URL] [/QB][/QUOTE]
