[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by BlessedbyHorus: Which limb studies state that Ramses II does not match with other Africans? [/QUOTE][URL=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047248483801419]Robins and Shute, 1983[/URL]: "It is shown that the limbs of the pharaohs, like those of other Ancient Egyptians, had negroid characteristics, in that the distal segments were relatively long in comparison with the proximal segments. [b]An exception was Ramesses II[/b], who appears to have had short legs below the knees." Ramesses II however was not the single exception; Akhenaten's radio-humeral and tibio-femoral indices also align him with 'White Americans': ""If the brachial (radio-humeral) and crural (tibio-femoral) indices are calculated for these remains, they are found to measure 75.1 and 82.6 respectively. These values, and the lengths of the humerus and femur, [b]agree very closely with data presented for male American whites[/b] by Krogman in 1955." ([URL=http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/3855823]Harrison[/URL], 1966) The reason the 1983 study missed this was because KV55 was only identified with Akhenaten in 2010, so they probably excluded him from their study.
