I was able to get a hold of [URL=https://docs.google.com/file/d/1Y3KkpfSXOPLxBkxB6LRISA4MF55Mb6wFCnuBtMyo5Q9ssdE6v1KrQ7Y_bxk0/edit?usp=sharing]Brothwell and Spearman's article on ancient hair[/URL] at the UCSD library, and they mention that Egyptian hairs, most of all those from the predynastic, have suffered "cuticular erosion". Given that cuticular erosion appears in artificially straightened hair, this doesn't exactly bolster the argument that these people had naturally straight or wavy hair. As an aside, Brothwell and Spearman also report that hair size might also change in post-mortem conditions. [/QUOTE]It's irreleavant the mummies that have been shown, Tiye, Thuya, Rameses II etc, intermediate not to mention the non-sequiter logic used. You will have to mention specific mummies [QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: Mind you, my position is [b]not[/b] that dark-skinned African people can't have wavy hair. [/QUOTE]the fact that in the beginning of your post you mention "naturally straight or wavy hair" but now you mention wavy but not straight hair could easily lead one to believe that you believe dark-skinned African people can have wavy hair but not straight hair. It similar to what Djehootie does he might mention straight or wavy hair in Africans but if the subject is ancient Egyptians specifically he sneaks out straight hair and only talks about wavy. So far the only AE that had straight hair was a grape picking peasant. Similarly when an Egyptian artwork's hair is speculated on in every case Troll Patrol will post a modern person with kinky hair suggesting that is the type being the type portrayed in the art. Djhoopty does the same thing [/qb][/QUOTE]You are lying as usually. I have always portrayed people from the South of Egypt in comparison to the ancients. The reason why I will post Africans similar in phenotype is, to show that these traits are indeed of Africans. Sorry, your mental capabilities don't reach that high. And reposting the wooden bust makes you look stupid, after I elaborated on it extensive. [/QB][/QUOTE]
