[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by kenndo: [qb] Let's keep in mind that lower nubia before the meroitic period ended,was mostly red noba,not kushites. There were BLEMMYES too in lower nubia. kushites from ever book i read had kinky hair while red noba and other nubians in lower nubia had varied hair forms and african features more closer to upper egyptians,of course they were african features,so euronuts lose either way. It seems these hair studies or lot of studies dealing with head shapes etc is focus more on lower nubia. IF you look at these studies of the meroitic period and see the location of what parts of nubia is the focus in these studies is lower nubia. Every study i see a euronut trys to make a point and make nubians non- black is from lower nubia AND THEY TRY to say this was all nubia,and it's clear it's not. Lower nubia is a abit of a different case then the rest of nubia,so we must be careful not to have lower nubia represent all of nubia,because it does not. Let's make this simple and cut the bullcrap. It's clear that kushites of upper and southern nubia had kinky hair and on average round faces,EXAMPLE TAHARQA A KUSHITE,CASE CLOSED. So i will stick TO the facts that is well known FROM books from well known good scholars not the internet. Greeks and others make this very clear while lower nubia before the kushite invasions had types more closer to blacks of upper egypt. Modern scholars makes very this clear too. In fact most kushites lived in southern nubia closer to central sudan. MORE studies need to be done there but lower nubia is just easier to get to or study more so right now and historians will tell you that. Lower nubia was conquered many more times then any other place in nubia as well if you get my point. It's clear lower nubia had a population that was much smaller then other regions of nubia and it was more varied with different populations. Just saying. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes, ever since Reisner's findings I've noticed a lot of old sources I've read on Nubia love to make a distinction between lower Nubia and upper Nubia with the former being closely related to Egyptians and thus 'caucasoid' while the latter is 'negroid'. In fact I remember years ago reading a passage from Rex Keating's book [i]Nubian Twilight[/i] where he describes tribute in the form of cattle and slaves from Nubia. From Lower Nubia these were slaves but from Upper Nubia these were 'negro' slaves. [b]LOL[/b] Anyway as far as features go, Lower Nubians even in recent literature are stereotyped as being taller and darker than even Upper Egyptians but with more pronounced "caucasian" features like narrower noses and thinner lips. I haven't read any info on hair texture, but we all know that epipaleolithic Nubians of the same area looked much different with more robust facial features but I wonder if the hair was the same as in wavy or loose.
