[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Great find DougM! I hail your image search skills. And following hard upon Rasol's comment, with their facial features and locks of hair, these guys almost look like they could've walked right off the wall of the TMHHW section of Seti I's tomb vignette 30 of BG 4:5.

That is not the case. Along these lines I have noticed that many of the old photos of Africans in Mauretania look very much like the Fuzzy wuzzies of the Sudan and Egypt, the Bedja. Again, this shows the fact that many of these Berbers who were assumed to be Northern "coastal" groups were actually Saharan and Sahelian groups from across a WIDE SWATH of Africa. Like these Mauretanians: http://www.postcardman.net/158494.jpg http://www.postcardman.net/158477.jpg [/qb][/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [qb] ^ Good post, those photos offer possibly a realistic appearance similarity with the original proto-Berber.
