[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [qb] You should get no heat because you are right the bible does group the Levantines aka Cannanites with Ham's proginity(Egyptians, Ethiopian, North Africans and Levantines.) Not only the Hebrews but the Greeks with Eastern Aethiopia and Herodotus' claims of black curly haired Colchians, and even dark brown bedouin Syrians made by the Egyptians. Heck many of the Arab posters here will admit that the dark Bedouins and Arabs are an aboriginal type, a proto Caucasian dark skinned people. [QUOTE]Originally posted by BlessedbyHorus: [qb] I personally believe the Ancient Egyptians and early Levantine populations were almost the same. And I believe the bible(I know I am gonna get a lot of heat from this) kinda cosigns it. [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]Yet, Hippocrates describes the Colchian skin colour as ὠχρός (ochros), yellow-white/sallow- "To Hippocrates the Phasians of Colchis were sallow ([i]ochros[/i]) ([i]Aer[/i] 15) whilst the complexions of the modern Georgian population have been described as 'fair, sallow or ruddy' (Land, [i]The Georgians[/i], p. 19)." - Lloyd, A.B. 1975. Herodotus, Book II: Introduction. Leiden. p. 22 I do see sallow complexion in Caucasus populations like Georgians from photos I have seen, particularly among the women; Tamar Iveri (google image) is a good example; clearly Herodotus was mistaken, although what he wrote might actually be interpreted in different ways. Frank Snowden offered a good explanation, but I can't be bothered to dig it up right now. [/QB][/QUOTE]
