It wasn't like, say, Assyrian bass reliefs where you can't even tell ethnicity most of the time. As a side note: Note that Egyptian and Assyrian documents agree that headbands were staples in the (Greater) Syrian wardrobe. Assyrians generally don't depict Arabs as wearing these headbands as far as I can tell.

Hence, why I came back on my hasty initial inclusion of northern Arabia (Assyrians generally don't depict Arabs as wearing these headbands). Some Bronze Age Semitic speaker (presumably Mesopotamian) with headband below. Note he has the same stringy hairstyle (braids [?]) as the two men on the Egyptian ceramic tiles we're discussing right now. Just like the Egyptian depictions his headband follows his hairline (i.e. it runs diagonally as opposed to winding around his head horizontally): [IMG]http://kemetway.com/Digest/img/photo/invaders/assyrian3.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
