[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [qb] Simpletons. I posted this: "Ancient Egyptians, like their modern descendants, varied in complexion from a light Mediterranean type, to a light brown in Middle Egypt, to a darker brown in southern Egypt." (Snowden, 1997) Punos misread it, like you. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Punos_Rey: So since dark brown = black per Cassdom, Upper Egyptians were black? Seems like we've finally come full circle.[/QUOTE]What Snowden says is "a darker brown", not "dark brown" (black). I never contradicted myself, its just you Afro-loons cannot read; Snowden describes southern Egyptians as medium brown, not dark brown. Was Frank Snowden a Nazi? :rolleyes: [IMG]https://static01.nyt.com/images/2007/02/28/obituaries/28snowden.jpg[/IMG] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_M._Snowden_Jr. [/qb][/QUOTE][IMG]http://www.crystalinks.com/tutblack.jpg[/IMG] Tutankhamun's golden throne. The color here is a glass glaze so it's unfaded, all the colors vibrant ^^ This color is what Snowden meant when he said a "darker brown" The scientific name for this color is brown, not black. Black is this this color: [IMG]https://3-t.imgbox.com/mkwWETqN.jpg[/IMG] "Black" is a political term when referring to humans that connotes more than just skin color so it cause confusion when it is introduced into anthropological discussion involving measurement of physical morphology or genetics. The political term "black" is also unwise to stress because if "brown" where the official category people called "black" would fit into it and it would be a much larger category than "black", thus strength in numbers. But people prefer the smaller exclusive category "black" just like Europeans like the smaller exclusive category "white" [IMG]https://i.imgbox.com/fI5y1DmQ.jpg[/IMG] ^^ Nevertheless when Snowden said "a darker brown" he meant this color which is very very common in Egyptian art. Of the various things including skin color and other traits that the political term "black" connotes, this color of Tutankhamun would be of the range that would be politically "black". As we can see Snowden, considered politically "black" himself is slightly lighter that the "darker brown" politically black toned Tutankhuamun (unless you can find a quote where Frank Snowden says he himself was not black and then try to argue Frank Snowden wasn't black) All these experts you quote on this matter are merely looking sat the art just like we are and giving an opinion on applying a political term or not. So they may be scientists but such remarks are subjective opinion [/QB][/QUOTE]
