[QUOTE]Originally posted by Just call me Jari: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rahotep101: [qb] but there is no obvious symbolic reason for the generally lighter depiction of most Egyptian females.[/qb][/QUOTE]I find it funny how you Eurocentrics love to talk about "Lighter" Females in A. Egyptian are as if this is even the Norm. If you examine majority of the Very Few Selected Papyrus art shown to the world alot of times the Females are not painted and thus left the color of the Papyru, However if you examine Tomb art it is another story...Also Funny is how the Tomb art rather than Papyrus Art is more reflective of Reality. Here is a Good example, not notice the female is painted a Dark Brown but her Face is left unpainted which appears the same as the ususal images favored by Eurocentrics.

Various Egyptian Women [QUOTE]Originally posted by rahotep101: [qb]And if the Egyptians considered the gods to be Ethiopians, as some claim, then they would surely have erred on the dark side rather than making even the male gods lighter in colour than the Egyptian mortal man.[/qb][/QUOTE]Once again what Gods are we talking about?? Osiris was depicted Darker, Anubis, Amun a God Linked to Gebel Barkel, Khanum the God of Elaphantine. Khanum [IMG]http://www.globalegyptianmuseum.org/images/glos/khnum.jpg[/IMG] Again Im not understanding this cookie cotter, The Gods should look a certain way. LOL, How Ubsurd, In One Breath Ra-hotep will talking about some supposed Auburn Hair and light skin on the Gods [b]YET IN THE SAME BREATH[/b] Claim the Black Skin on some of the Egyptian art is "Symbolic", What a double standard..
