[QUOTE]Originally posted by Antalas: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: Since when do I have to give examples from only the Old Kingdom? Fine. Here are Old Kingdom Examples below:[/QUOTE]So where are the blacks ?? They look like modern egyptians [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: By the way, I'm not Afrocentric and I provided examples of PAINTED portraits, including murals! The whole dark coloring due to rotted wood excuse is pathetically erroneous. Why do Eurocentrics like yourself always provide examples of Old Kingdom statues that are either unpainted or whose paint has faded, especially those with so-called "Caucasian" features? [/QB][/QUOTE]The painted portraits didn't show black people but "red/brown" skinned people like modern egyptians + such color was based on conventional artistic canons it doesn't mean all egyptian men from north to south had this skin color. The statues I posted are way more relevant and give us a better glimpse at how they view themselves. Also how can I be "eurocentric" if I'm not European ? I'm against all kind of -ism and -tric and as for "faded" do you have any evidence of it ? they could have used a pitch black pigment for these statues they would have still not look like blacks. These people literally depicted themselves as red skinned, with caucasoid features, their mummies all had straight hair, etc but you still want to defend they were "black" ? Come on be serious [/QB][/QUOTE]
