[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] [b]The real skinny on blue eyes of Egyptian statues[/b] pt 1 For those interested in Old Kingdom statuary rock crystal inlaid eyes. Let me emphatically state, Egypt from the Badarian down to today displays obvious phenotypic diversity. Indigenous dark skinned African phenotypes were the overwhelming majority. The other, minority, phenotypes can be Egyptian too. Their types range from indigenous lighter skinned coastal Africans to very dark skinned middle Nile Valley, Horn, and Saharo-Sahel Africans to Arabian plate and overseas naturalized foreigners dressed in Egyptian style and visiting foreigners sporting home fashion who are not Egyptian. The foreign skin colour scale swings from very dark to very light and everything in between. Egypt since the pre-dynastic attracted people looking for opportunities. All contributed to make the cosmopolitan first world power, Egypt, founded by indigenous lower Nile Valley Africans. Non-brown inlaid eye irises are production faults. When eye coloring brown resin doesn't perfectly contact the crystal the result is partial to fully grey eyes. Crystal to resin contact can change with time. The eye color we see now may or may not be the eye color the sculptor intended. [/QB][/QUOTE]
