[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] So peach skin and long straight hair isn't viable evidence, but artistic evidence counts when you and other posters are proving how black Egypt was with pictures of wooly/curly haired, dark skinned people. It's only "faulty evidence" when someone does the same thing but presents a different view for certain parts of Egypt. You are complaining about each bit of data that supports this, but do not accept that it is the combination of data that gives us a clear picture -Near Eastern settlements, so they just imported Near Eastern houses? -Near Eastern DNA -Crania similar to the Near East in Middle/Lower Egypt -THEN the artistic evidence. ALL of these things TOGETHER point that there was Levanite influence from the start. We're not obsessing over "one mummy." We had nearly 100 mummies from Abusir in Middle Egypt, then THIS guy, then decades of cranial research telling us that Middle Egypt was teaming with northerners since the Neolithic and you're sitting here carrying on about more evidence? Just accept it. Lower and Middle Egypt probably were very heavily mixed with Levanites. Yes. Levanites. The DNA is matching the modern Near East and the archeological record showed that these people's material culture was influenced by the Levant. Their cranial record was already showing them to be distinct from the deep south a long time ago. Your pictures of Mentuhotep are indeed darker, weren't those Middle Kingdom rulers from Thebes? Thebes is not Middle Egypt. We're not talking about all of Upper Egypt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
