As early as the 3rd century BC, Callimachus describes female Libyans with flowing blonde hair while fair hair and blue eyed Libyans also appear in earlier Egyptian depictions: "...the royal necropolis of Thebes of about 1300 B.C., certain Libyans are depicted as having a white skin, blue eyes and fair beards. Blonds are represented on Egyptian monuments from 1700 B.C. and were noted by the Greeks in the fourth century B.C. In the east the blonds have quite died out, but there are patches of this race in the west of North Africa. This fair race still remain an unsolved problem. Some students bring them from Spain, other authors from Italy, others again from the east. Perhaps they were a sporadic invasions and formed an aristocratic class. One suggestion is that they were Proto-Nordics who formed a part of the various groups of Asiatics who raided Egypt about 1300 B.C. and moved westwards." - Alfred Cort Haddon, The Races of Man and Their Distribution (1924), University Press, 1924, p.36 [/QB][/QUOTE]
