[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] [QUOTE][b]That is not data it's art. and you are the one that has been saying Egyptians wore wigs. Right there is a problem in knowing what their natural hair was. Further this thread shows when looking at a lot of the art you cannot be certain of what hair type is being shown[/b][/QUOTE]. If you have doubts then you check what visitors to Egypt said. In this case Greek intellectuals such as Herodotus and Aristotle. They had nothing to gain by lying on the type of hair the AEs and Nubians had. So were the lying when they wrote that the Egyptians and Nubians had woolly hair. Yes or No? There were 26 AE dynasties and some 330 pharaohs spread over 3000 years plus. A few pharaohs singled out and showed around for propaganda purposes will convince. Better to get a grasp of what the AEs were by their murals, sculptures, and what the Greeks wrote. And they said--embarrassingly for the Eurocentrics--that the AEs and Nubians shared the same kind of woolly hair. Selecting a few mummies and showing off their supposed natural hair is interesting but implies nothing really. The Greeks occupied Egypt and knew the land thoroughly. That's why I trust them more on phenotypical appearances than grave robbers and pale-faced Euro excavators. [/QB][/QUOTE]
