[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] There were two groups of Libyans depicted by the AE, one was a more Northern Group and the other was a more Southern group. The initial references of the Southern groups were called Temehu and associated with the C-Group so-called "Nubians". During the old and Middle Kingdom. The later depictions of lighter skinned Libyans primarily comes from around the time of the invasions of the Sea Peoples and as many others have suggested represents a mixture of indigenous lighter skinned Libyans and Eurasian elements. And by that time it was no different than it is today where the more coastal groups are lighter skinned while the Southern groups in the Sahara and south are darker skinned. And there are numerous other references to various Libyan and other groups with various skin complexions, some lighter and some darker. The modern descendants of the Southern groups would be the Tuareg, The Fulani, Beja and others. Also mnany of the cultural elements found in those lighter skinned "Temehu" images are found on these groups as well as well as even some Egyptian folks. So I would say that the lighter skinned LIbyans weren't the only Libyans or Africans to the west of Egypt and yes they are part of the ancestral population that became part of modern Berber populations, but again that includes a wide range of populations and traditions from the north and the South.
