[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by lioness,: ^^^^^ I have to come back in this is a very interesting item you have found. if correct a key to indicate who's who in other scenes we often see. Tomb of Nakht etc.[/QUOTE]Tomb of Nakht? I don't remember any scenes from this tomb that would be relevant to the views expressed in my previous post. What about it? [QUOTE]Originally posted by lioness,: On the other hand it looks like a modern illustration compiling some figures. It could have errors. What is the source?[/QUOTE]You don't see the relevant tombs listed beneath the figures? The first Canaanite **LOOKS** like the Asiatic captives(?) who work alongside Egyptians in Rekhmire's tomb. The listed tomb (Ros-She-ra[?]) doesn't seem to refer to Rekhmire's tomb though. They could also be Nubians. [URL=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YMqV1ja_lFQ/R7NvdZDGhcI/AAAAAAAABG0/QiX1T-M01Dg/s400/egyptexodus4.jpg]Asiatics in Rekhmire's tomb alongside Egyptians and possibly also Nubians[/URL] [URL=http://www.greatmirror.com/images/medium/023719.jpg]Different view[/URL] ^You can distinguish the Canaanites from their dark greyish color on the lower register on the first pic, and the middle register in the second pic. The bald headed figures (first pic) with a reddish-brown color could also be non-Egyptians, presumably Canaanites, since they too, are differentiated from the Egyptians in the Upper register. That they're Nubians seems to be more plausible to me at this point. [QUOTE]Originally posted by lioness,: mislabeled by Swenet this is a Syrian (Caananite)[/QUOTE]A Shasu cannot be a Syrian Canaanite at the same time? How so? [QUOTE]Originally posted by lioness,: Ibscha Relief Chnumhotep II[/QUOTE]What they looked like on the real mural: [IMG]http://www.bible-archaeology.info/Copy_of_2Beni-Hassan-Asiatiques1.jpg[/IMG] Although darker than the facsimile you've posted, these nomadic Levantines (Shasu) seem to follow the pattern I've layed out earlier. Even though this distinction between Shasu and Urban dwellers is somewhat problematic, due to the fact that settled societies since Natufian times wouldn't necessarily have remained settled throughout the Holocene. That makes it al the more interesting that this pattern still emerges. [/QB][/QUOTE]
