[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [qb] The resemblance in profiles between men in the photograph and men in the painting above is striking and fascinating. Wow, I think the man is a Berber of some sort, not sure if he is Tuareg. Whatever he is, you were right! He may be of the same stock as those ancient Libyans. I have seen this people before and we should try to find out what tribe he belongs to. [/qb][/QUOTE]According to the label in the picture he is Mauritanian but other than that, I have no idea what ethnicity. The pic was first posted by Takruri to compare him with pics of the white Libyans who have the same goatee and braided hair-style. [/qb][/QUOTE]The image of the Berber man from Mauretania I found a while back while searching for old photos of Mauritania. It either comes from a site called Abdelacpa or postcardman.net. I will see if I can find the link to the original page. One thing I noticed about the appearance of these people and their hair styles was the strong similarity to the Beja people of Sudan. Found it. The page is here: http://www.postcardman.net/mauritania_ethnic.html Some examples of the "Beja like" hair and appearance: [IMG]http://www.postcardman.net/mauritania/252542.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.postcardman.net/mauritania/252539.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.postcardman.net/mauritania/252533.jpg[/IMG] Frontal image of the man above: [IMG]http://www.postcardman.net/158477.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.postcardman.net/158446.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.postcardman.net/147562.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.postcardman.net/14764.jpg[/IMG] I also found this on that site under Morocco: [IMG]http://www.abcdelacpa.com/31290.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
