Wiki commons Beni Hasan [/qb][/QUOTE]People of the Northern Levant or Syria who were fair in color and the Arabians and their descendants in the Hejaz and Syria (Canaanites, Pheonicians, Musri or Masruh, Philistines) were two different people. The latter were those the Greeks later called black Syrians. Syrians with fair skin were not from Arabia. I have some Canaanites with brown skin are also pictured on Tut's royal chest. Keftiu princes of Tunip (Daphinah) near Baalbek (north Arabia? ) are also portrayed as near black in color in Egyptian paintings. Will scan and post the photos soon. The picture above with the Syrian and Nubians looks as if the paint is coming off the Amorite with brown paint on his head and off the Syrian. [/QB][/QUOTE]
