When exactly did 'Eurasians' arrive to coastal North Africa? I've read about the light skin Tamahou which apparently first appeared in the New Kingdom period and were preceded by the dark skin Tehenu. When they mention that North Africa's local component date back thirteen thousand years, is this in reference to older African genes with origins in North-East Africa that are already present in countries like Sudan? [/qb][/QUOTE]How did you conclude that? I base it on the Tehenu [light skin 'Libyans'] that were first attested around 1000 BC in the reign of Ramesses III. [/qb][/QUOTE]I am not familiar with this, can you show what you mean. Thanks in advance. [/qb][/QUOTE]The ancient Egyptians seem to have first encountered light skin Libyan tribes like the Meshwesh in the New Kingdom period. I made a mistake in one of my posts; the Tehenu were the dark skin Libyans that the Egyptians were aware of earlier than the New Kingdom period and the Tamahu were the light skin Libyans that came later on. I'm not sure if this true, but this is apparently an image of Tehenu 'black' Libyans.

They need not be prisoners but could be members of the Egyptian army or envoys at a festival. As usual with sandstone relief pieces the block was part of a temple decoration at Karnak.
