[QUOTE]Originally posted by L': [QB] [QUOTE]Women being inexplicably lighter skinned than their husbands is something still to be seen among modern Egyptians, so go figure. (By contrast, it's not something to be seen in Somalia, as a rule.) I'm no dermatologist but I suspect this has something to do with the sun, and the men spending more time out under it.[/QUOTE]The whole "outdoor" argument has been discussed time and time again here. Most recently [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=004382;p=2]here[/URL]. As seen by the citation of Kamugisha, the ancient Egyptians representations of themselves as yellow and red cannot be take to literal. You taking one image doesn't change that those colors didn't necessarily depict actual skin tones, unless you can offer evidence to the contrary? [/QB][/QUOTE]
