It looks to me as if one man just could have faded more than the others. The so-called Asiatic is the same color as Ramses. If the paint has been faded on Ramses (which it was) than the paint on the "Asiatic" and other person was also probably originally darker. [/qb][/QUOTE]The proof is based on three reasons. First, the three men all have different physical appearances and dress attire. The Kushite on the left is the darkest and while it may be somewhat difficult to see, he is wearing a leopard skin. The Asiatic in the middle is wearing clothing common to Asiatics and has a stereotypical hooked shaped nose common among West Semites and again while it may look like he and Ramses have the same complexion, Ramses actually has traces of much darker coloring while the Asiatic does not. As for the Libyan on the right, his paint seems to be the most faded and while his clothing may not be clear, he is wearing a long tunic common to Libyans. The second reason is that traditionally in Egyptian art when a pharaoh is smiting enemies, he is shown smiting a single man if he is engaged in war with a single people. If he is warring with more than one people, then a man of each group will be shown in the smiting scene. And lastly, the hieroglyphs on that Medinet Habu scene label the enemies. [/QUOTE][/qb] Now that I'm looking closer I think you are right that the men must be portraying three different groups of people. [/QB][/QUOTE]
