[QUOTE]Originally posted by Obelisk_18: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Knowledgeiskey718: [qb] [QUOTE]It's about the flawed concept of Nubian dynasty, which I don't think you are defending, and which is, after all...the title of the thread. [/QUOTE]Indeed, I think I understand what you're saying. The separation of Ancient Egyptians and Nubians is more of a Eurocentric ruse than actual truth. We can see the Badarians match up with Mesolithic Nubians, and many Egyptian profiles could easily be considered "Nubian". As we can see from the X-Ray Atlas of The Royal Mummies. James Harris and Edward Wente: [b]In summation, the New Kingdom Pharaohs and Queens whose mummies have been recovered bear strong similarity to either contemporary Nubians, as with the XVII and XVIII dynasties, or with Mesolithic-Holocene Nubians, as with the XVIV and XX dynasties. The former dynasties seem to have a strong southern affinity[/b] , while the latter possessed evidence of mixing with modern Mediterranean types and also, possibly, with remnants of the old Tasian and Natufian populations. From the few sample available from the XXI Dynasty, there may have been a new infusion from the south at this period. [b]while the latter possessed evidence of mixing with modern Mediterranean types [/b] ^^^Since many Crania are falsely considered "Mediterranean" I am pretty skeptical about the notion of them mixing with "Mediterranean". Could basically just be another group of Indigenous Africans. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yea i agree wit chu..to show a little more anthropological material from James Harris and Weeks: " [b]His entire lower facial complex, in fact, is so different from other pharaohs that he could be fitted more easily into the series of Nubian and Old Kingdom Giza skulls than into that of later Egyptian kings.[/b] " So they're saying that egyptians from the old kingdom looked more like nubians than later egyptian kings? hmmm..questionable.
