[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: Come on dude. Why did you use that picture of Tut and not his facemask? Like seriously. Who do you think you are kidding with this nonsense. The most famous and well known image of Tut is is golden face mask and you picked that image to do a comparison. [/QUOTE]So you can not answer the question? If the boy would fall into the variation of ancient Egyptian phenotypes? It is not really relevant what picture of Tutankhamon I would post. I could have posted only the boy. Maybe you just donīt know? [/qb][/QUOTE]It does matter because you are using Tutankhamun as an example, so you want to get the best image representing what he looked like do you not? All images of Tut don't look the same and this is common in AE art where even in the same tomb you have different shades or colors for the same person. So either you are going to use the most "representative" version of what the ancient person looked like or basically you are just using random variation in paint color and sculpture preservation to compare against which doesn't make sense. The phenotype of the ancient Nile Valley isn't "art" or random paint color from a tomb is the point. By that logic every shade and feature of human phenotype is in AE art and then what? That doesn't tell you what the common phenotype was among the population at any time because you are using paint color and sculptures in isolation (cherry picking) to base your comparisons on. And the only one here being dishonest is you because you know this very well because you made sure to cherry pick the images you wanted to match the phenotype you want to use to represent the ancient population. So actually you are engaging in the same obsession with phenotype that you claim is only done by others. [/QB][/QUOTE]
