[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [qb] Weird, many posters go on and on about how black the ancient Egyptians were, but faced with a question about how they looked like (with examples from a site about human phenotypes) it gets moved and locked.[/qb][/QUOTE]I disagree with your thread being locked as well. I understand it being moved to another section since there are too many racial debate threads as there is on here. [QUOTE][qb]Seems no one wants to exemplify how they think the ancient Egyptians really looked like (except Antalas who gave an honest answer) instead of fantasising about a dreamt negro ancient Egypt. Maybe they prefer Egypt to be a wet dream for African Americans, without really wanting to visualize how the people there looked like.[/qb][/QUOTE]You obviously missed how I debunked Antalas on several threads using his [i]own[/i] sources, such as on [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=009496]Didyme[/URL] and [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=010501]cranial nonmetrics[/URL]. Ever since, he fled to the other sections of the forum. The guy is obviously a troll but at least I addressed his claims. [QUOTE][qb]The phenotypes I posted all exist in the Nile valley and its surrounding. [URL=http://humanphenotypes.net/index-2.html]Human phenotypes[/URL] [/qb][/QUOTE]The phenotypes of modern Egyptians are much more heterogeneous than in ancient times sans all the foreign invasions. This would be like using modern day Mexicans especially from Mexico City as examples of ancient Aztecs. Even Antalas cites the Abusir mummy study showing an increase in Sub-Saharan genes since the pharaonic period. I already started a thread on the Baladi (ethnic non-Arab) Egyptians who tend to be the most pristine [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=010230]here[/URL] yet strangely Antalas and other naysayers just ignore it. But to answer the question of your OP as to which of the 7 ladies looks most like the ancient Egyptians, I guess my answer is the same as Brandon-- #5 the 'Ethiopid' type. However, I should remind you that the Human Phenotypes website you cite only gives approximations for the average phenotype of a specific region in modern times. Their Ethiopid phenotype is one endemic to Sub-Saharan East Africa. This isn't to say that such phenotype didn't exist in ancient Egypt, however Egypt [i]and[/i] Nubia had their own local phenotypes. By the way, the concept of a 'black' Egypt is something that is supported by a [i]lot[/i] of evidence and is something that's not merely a fantasy of black Americans. Brandon is white and acknowledges this and I myself am Asian and do so as well. The view of Egypt as 'white' or "caucasian" is something that needs to be revised especially since the same bio-anthropological evidence shows [b]Nubians[/b] to be closely related to Egyptians and as I pointed out to Antalas via his own sources, if Egyptians are 'caucasian' then so too are Nubians, but when shown this Antalas as well as other Eurocentrics then suffer cognitive dissonance.
