[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] @Sudaniya Thanks. Some of that credit should also go to various places that got me started on this journey, including many insightful posts here. Some people here discuss Manilius and put AE skin pigmentation on a cline sandwiched between Sudanese and other North Africans, but when they translate 'melas' many flip flop and INSIST that it should read 'black' to the point where they accuse you of being manipulative when you say that it should be a range of brown in the case of AE. But, leaving it at 'black', how are lay people not going to feel deceived/confused when they read Ptolemy, Manilius, etc. who explicitly locate "pure black" and fully "sunburnt" people away from Egypt and characterize Egyptians as more mildly complexioned?
