[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [qb] Why not? We know dolichocephalic dark, brown "Mediterraneans" were the predominant people of Lagash, prior to the Guti. Gudea is always represented beardless or not hairsute and obviously had very short woolly or curly hair. Frankly - it is my opinion there may just be some truth to Clyde's claim the bearded people, large nosed people date from the Gutian period or are ethnic Guti. I'm just waiting for some evidence that shows this. [/qb][/QUOTE]Read the literature on Gutians. I wish you were near the Oriental Institute in Chicago they have a fine library (Reading Room). You have to also remember that none of the Gutian rulers of Lagash are mentioned in Sumerian King list. [IMG]http://opinionsandexpressions.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/sumerian.jpg[/IMG] [b]Gutian[/b] Gutians, like their European counterparts usually make a lot of art pieces and archaeologists use these Gutian pieces to represent Sumerians--to maintain the lie Black and African people have no ancient history. . . [/qb][/QUOTE]I spent most of my time at the library at the University of Chicago Oriental Museum. That is where I first saw the original Tjehenu i.e. Fulani above the front entrance which I am told has been taking down and sold at auction. What makes you call them Gutian. I do know these people from the Diyala plains made a lot of art pieces, and that they were the brachycephals and thus not the original inhabitants of Sumer or Akkad, but what makes you so sure they are Guti as opposed to some other early Mesopotamian. Which literature do you suggest one read on th Guti? If this man above is Ebih-Il of Mari why are you saying he is a Guti? I know they are often dressed liked the Semitic-speaking Eblaites so of course these epeople were adopting the languages of the regions they lived in. Some people think the name Guti was teh early name for the Kurds. It is kind of curious that no Mesopotamian sites post pictures of the Guti. lol! [/qb][/QUOTE]I identify this figure as a Gutian, because he wears the same outfit as the people in the Lagash art related to the Gutian period. In fact, most of the alleged Sumerian artifacts published in most books relate to the Gutian period at Lagash. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
