I thought Rebu or Libu was a generic name for all Libyans at that time. All I know is that the painting comes from the XIX dynasty which is the period commonly cited as the era of the fair-skinned Berbers. [QUOTE][qb] Better yet here is some more additional artwork from Sahures pyramid complex from the old kingdom depicting darker skinned Tehenu Libyan. [IMG]http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k513/tlxlowe/4748602706_388a444cd5_b.jpg[/IMG] They aren't depicted as pale as the Temehu and Meshwesh are depicted from the New Kingdom. [/qb][/QUOTE]There is reason to believe the Old Kingdom Libyans were not the same as the New Kingdom ones. And while there may very well have been pale types among the Meshwesh and Temehu I don't think they were as prominent as many scholars have lead us to believe. More and more I am seeing pictures of New Kingdom Libyans with remnants of darker paint. This makes me question the existence of fair types among them altogether! I have even noticed that depictions of the Sea Peoples likely had darker complexions than many believe. [/QB][/QUOTE]
