[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] I guess my major problem is why in looking at so many paintings of "Libyans" one sees mainly those with reddish brown paint wearing off. This is not restricted to Libyans, but to Old Kingdom Egyptians, Syro-Canaanites and so called "Sea Peoples" like the Philistines (Peleset) and Hittites. Are the paintings with red brown paint faded off the "Lebou" and below supposed to be evidence of "white Libyans", "Meshwesh" and "Sea Peoples"? If so why are they represented the same color as Ramses?

[IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/9a8yup.jpg[/IMG] One thing is certain, and that is that as late as the time of the Ramessids and Seti many of these "Libyans" and "Sea Peoples" were far from being "creamy-colored". Maybe someone needs to take up the study of chemical analysis of ancient Egyptian paints on this forum before some museum curator comes along and repaints them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
