[QUOTE]Originally posted by Troll Patrol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by malcontent7: [qb] Yellow paint? Riiight! We can't you admit that Egypt saw many migrations from the Near East like the Hysksos etc. Many Pahroahs would take Foreign wives etc Some Pharoahs were of Libyan descent. That you feel that you must always rush to the forefront and claim everyone Black, going to whatever ridiculous lengths, claiming women were puting yellow paint on their faces etc, shows that you are not at all an objetive person. :( Young Egyptian girl.

The convention for yellow paint among women had NOTHING to do with Asiatics or the immigrations there or! Such a convention has been in place since the beginnings of the Old Kingdom even in the southern part where complexions were darker than in the north. Here is what one Egyptologist says: "[i]..Male and female skin colors were probably not uniform among the entire population of Egypt, with pigmentation being darker in the south [closer to sub-saharan Africans] and lighter in the north [closer to Mediterranean Near Easterners] A woman from the south would probably have had darker skin than a man from the North. [b]Thus, the colorations used for skin tones in the art must have been schematic [or symbolic] rather than realistic[/b]; the clear gender distinction encoded in that scheme may have been based on elite ideals relating to male and female roles,in which women's responsibilities kept them indoors, so that they spent less time in the sun than men. [b]Nevertheless, the significance of the two colors may be even deeper, making some as yet unknown but fundamental difference between men and women in Egyptian worldview[/b]...[/i]" The belief that women stayed indoors was proven wrong since artwork shows that even poor women who did work outside the home alongside men were still painted yellow, and elite women spent their time outdoors in recreation. Oh your one cherry-picked image of an (Arab) Egyptian girl cannot do you justice.

But the lighter complected girl shows same facial affinities with the darker skinned girls. This is also what studies state. They show the same affinities. (in ancient context) [/QB][/QUOTE]
