[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] [b]X-Ray analysis on the pharaohs"[/b] Here is another quote from Harris and Weeks on X-ray analysis of the pharaoh Seqenenre compared to his son Ahmose, showing how the X-Ray data suggested Nubian affinities for several royals: [b]"His entire facial complex, in fact, is so different from other pharaohs (it is closest to that of his son Ahmose) that he could be fitted more easily into the series of Nubian and Old Kingdom Giza skulls than into that of later Egyptian kings. Various scholars in the past have proposed a Nubian-that is, non-Egyptian-origin for Seqenenre and his family, and his facial features suggest this might indeed be true."[/b] -- Harris J, and Weeks K (1973) X-Raying the Pharoahs. pg 127 Seqenenre is one of a number of New Kingdom pharaohs also held to be of Nubian origin by conservative Egyptologists such as Donald B. Redford (History and Chronology of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, pgs 33-36, 69.) Egyptologist Frank Yurco and others also note Nubian affinities among several 12th Dynasty rulers. All this is before the 25th Dynasty, who are often misleadingly held up as the only Nubian rulers of Egypt. In fact, long BEFORE the 25th Dynasty, such Nubian derived or Nubian background royals were in place. And indeed, said "Nubian" rulers held themselves to be restorationists, returning to Egypt's past glory. [/QB][/QUOTE]
