[QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [b]Supercar,the features of the AE will vary depending which part of Egypt the pharoah came from. Many 1,2,3rd dyansty rulers are very negriod in apperance;while later dyansties like 5,6,7,8,9,10 have somewhat mixted features that range. When I say symbolic I mean that in certain nomes pharoahs were much represented like the general population there. Like the Abu Simbel colossal looks like Nubians because it's in northern Sudan;while the bust of Queen Tiye in the Sinai looks like her representation. The only pharoah we have depicted from young to old is Senowrset III,and most of his features are very African. This is to be excepted since he originated in Aswan to Upper Egypt and Nubian families. Other dyansties like 16,17,18 originated in Luxor Egypt which was in southern Upper Egypt. What variation you see in modern day Egypt from the lightest northern[Lower Egyptian] to the darkest Egyptian in southern Upper Egypt is pretty much how things were like in antiquity. [/b][/QUOTE] You've hit the bull's eye. Actually the person I was refering to in my earlier comment, was from something I read in a website. I should have given a reference, but unfortunately I don't have that info on top of my head. I was trying to portrait the myths the arise from AE art. I see the same thing coming from Hieroglyphics. People are literally making Bibles from these pictorial scripts, without proving beyond a doubt that they know the true meanings of each and every symbol. I feel that this language has for the most part died out, except for a few words here and there, perhaps mixed with popular languages. The reason for this extinction is no doubt the conquests throughout history, but it could also be because of it's practicality in modern times. It is obviously easier to read letters instead of pictorial symbols, and less time consuming. [/QB][/QUOTE]
