[QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [QB] [QUOTE] Newsflash: Dynastic Race Theory is not "Eurocentric". It has nothing to do with Europe, but southwest Asia [and if you read my 2011 posts I never said the "Nordics" in question were directly from Europe; I discussed things like Oric Bates blonde haired Libyan theory and see the Coon quote above about blondism in North African populations.] Furthermore DRT and Hamiticism I gave up 4 years ago. A number of Afrocentrists on this forum have also changed their views since this time. Since 2013 I've argued ancient Egyptians = modern Egyptians. I became a critic of large-scale admixture models, hence in other thread I propose a cultural transmission model for the spread of Neolithic farming. The blondism thing in Egyptians is an unknown but its still possible there was a higher percentage of fairer phenotypes in Egyptian royalty because of exogamous marriages that happened to secure political/foreign alliances. [/QUOTE]The ancient Egyptians were incredibly cautious and so did not even allow daughters of the Pharaohs to be married to foreign leaders in order to prevent any foreign derived claimants to the throne from compromising the State. There are very few people in North Africa that are actually natural blondes, and so people are clearly reaching... from the services of their cherished racial political aims. Studies by Brothwell and Spearman attribute the observed reddish hair in some of the Mummies to the partial oxidation of the pigments. Bleaching by the alkaline in the Mummification process was responsible for the blonde hair. The ancient Egyptians [like other Northeast Africans] used Henna to colour their hair using vegetable colorants. People with natural blonde hair or strands of it have also been found all over Northeast Africa and the mummification process helped this along. The ancient Egyptians only came across people with blonde hair by the Middle Kingdom. Non-Africans only came into the picture long after Egypt had already been established, and so this attempt to neatly and equally parcel out ancient Egypt's legacy to the Levant and Northeast Africa is preposterous.
