Hey Myra can you give me the order of what these people are again I lost the last post you told me and are you sure that this blond haired blue eyed figure isn't a Mitanni?

I think this is what I posted:
Boston Museum
Glazed tiles of non Egyptians from Medinet Habu. Medinet Habu was the mortuary temple of Ramesses III and is located on the west bank opposite Thebes. They are Kushite, Philistine, Amorite, Syrian and Mitanni.

Okay, and how does this help you in your silly argument of whether Egyptians were somehow not black?

Someone posted a comment elsewhere on the forum that the Egyptians depicted their neighbors to the South as darker than themselves. Would this have been purely conventional, as in women typically being conveyed lighter than men? Would there not have been a variety of Africans and skin tones in Egypt and to the South?

^ It was both.-- A convention that Egyptian artists used darker tones to portray Nhsi, but Egyptian artists at times also portrayed Nhsi in different complexions to show realism.
