"Black" on the Luscan Scale as used by physical anthropologists e.g. Carleton Coon is 29-36. You're trying to move the standard boundary for your own agenda. Show me a single anthropologist who thinks 24 or 25 is black.[/QUOTE]Why are there thousands of artworks depicting many Egyptians as medium to dark brown and why are most of the Pharoahs depicted medium to dark brown? [/qb][/QUOTE]I've been on Stormfront, VNN and the reverse, i.e. black nationalist/Afrocentric forums. All people do from both is cherry pick images off Google - those on Stormfront cherry-pick the lightest they can find, while Afrocentrists just spam the darkest. I'm not interested in going down this route. Me posting the Nefertiti bust was just to falsify the "black Egypt" theory, the fact is I recognise the variation/skin cline in Nile Valley. Note however I've never tried to lump Egyptian pigmentation as "white" - I've stuck to finer categories like light brown / medium brown and dark brown. Only dark brown would be "black". The average Nubian was dark brown, not Egyptian. This is in Snowden, Brace et al etc. Are all those cross-disciplinary classicists and physical anthropologists wrong? [/qb][/QUOTE]When you see males in Egyptian art in military groupings, when you see the Pharaohs the vast majority are depicted medium to dark brown. It's harder to find light brown unless you go to later periods. You have to go out of your way to find that [IMG]http://www.learner.org/courses/globalart/assets/non_flash_796/work_005.jpg[/IMG] Akhenaten with Nefertiti [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-28-119.png[/IMG] Seti I [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c6/RamessesII-ColoredRelief_BrooklynMuseum.png/511px-RamessesII-ColoredRelief_BrooklynMuseum.png[/IMG] Rameses II , relief, Brooklyn Museum ^^ this is not cherry picked. This is typical for Egyptian males depicted in the art. Yet you are out there saying they were light brown. Start looking at a lot more Egyptian art. Then men are more commonly not light brown, and check the Pharoahs as well. You are slanting things toward light brown and that is not honest. And the women are not all categorically lighter either as we see the female above. Black people want a little acknowledgment of realistic skin tone in history. Instead just a year ago, Joel Edgerton is playing Ramesses, showing cultural inaccuracies haven't changed since the 1950's. You are being reactionary to some people who might exaggerate in the other direction, you call Afrocentric. Stop being reactionary and try to be fair. You don't have to use the word "black" But "light brown" is not right [/QB][/QUOTE]
