[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Asar Imhotep: [qb] Greetings Phamily. All this talk from the author of the Unknown Arabs and Dr. Wesley Muhammad who quotes him heavily, begs me to ask this critical question. Both claim the original Arabs were Blacks. Are there any Egyptian reliefs which depict these Black Arabs? Did they also mention them by name? All of the images of "Asiatics" coming in from Arabia I've seen are White. I am just trying to see if the ancient Ta-Merrians depicted in any art these "original" Black Arabs. [/qb][/QUOTE]To answer your question, the vast majority of Asiatics recorded and depicted by Egyptians were from the Levant NOT Arabia. Though there were a few groups that were of Arabian descent namely the Yeha and other Midianite groups. All the surviving depictions of them show no color but depict them as tall men with wavy hair. I will say that even some surviving depictions of people from the Levant show black types as seen in the examples others have posted already. [/QB][/QUOTE]
