[/QUOTE]^ I checked the French in the book this is an accurate translation of Champolion. Why even consider this if you can't produce a single piece of art which corresponds to that? [QUOTE] "blue eyes, blond or reddish beard.....clad in a hairy ox-skin...... I hasten to seek the tableau corresponding to this one in the other royal tombs and, as a matter of fact, I found it in several. The variations I observed fully convinced me that they had tried to represent here the inhabitants of the four corners of the earth, according to the Egyptian system [/QUOTE]," How come these Libyans are always depicted black haired and black eyed ?

Yes that is a match [/QB][/QUOTE]
