[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^I concur with Ausar and Rasol. I am especially weary of any ancient Egyptian poem translated where an Egyptian woman is described as being "bright skin" and even having "white breasts", considering most of the anthropological work we have points to Egyptians having skin tones matching those of indigenous (black) Africans. Perhaps this is mistranslation of the European word 'fair' which means light complected as well as beautiful(?). I say this because many white supremacist distort the word 'fair' in Egyptian poetry to mean white. [/QB][/QUOTE]
