[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] In my opinion, excepting most Elamites and the Lachish Judahites, it is indeed artifice. The curls aren't natural. You can see the wavy or straight character of the hair when looking down on a carvings head from above or looking directly at a relief's hairline where a crown or helmet sits upon the hair. The beard's texture [IMG]http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/7776/medeszo7.jpg[/IMG] is another indicator of the hair's true quality. I question the unneccessary application of blackness onto people where it does not belong. The "penis envy" like condition of many diasporan blacks needing to make peoples who aren't black into blacks and thus claim said peoples' accomplishments just shows the lack of knowledge of, or distaste for, actual black peoples and their cultures and a preference for the cultural accutrements of their "hosts." However, as posted here once, the Medes and iirc the Persians were looked upon as mulato in origin by the Greeks when examining their Perseus & Andromeda and Jason & Medea mythos. [QUOTE]Originally posted by blackman: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] Ah, but are the curls by nature or artifice in each and every instance, and are you sure? [/qb][/QUOTE]alTakruri, I don't think it is artifice because other reliefs have differnt types of hair. You can see straight and bushy from the link provided. http://www.livius.org/a/iran/persepolis/people/people.html Prognathism isn't only confined to black people, but it's trait is predominately in black people. The same is for tight curly hair. So, in the relief you have tight curly hair and dark skin. Why question if they were black? [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
