[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Yatunde Lisa Bey: [QB] [IMG]https://www.temehu.com/maps/tmb/mg/mixed/images/Temehu-location.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE] Apparently, according to another study, the European gene responsible for blue eyes arose from a single ancestor between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago around the Black Sea, during the expansion of the human population in Europe and the arrival of agriculture from the Middle East. Such date is rather recent when compared to the genetic results suggesting the Temahuq speakers (the Berbers) breaking up from the Afro-Asiatic group between 21,000 and 32,000 years ago Generally speaking the Libyans were in the Old Kingdom shown "red brown", with a long, lock-like beard, very similar to the beard of Osiris, which the pharaohs also adopted as a sign of royalty. However, [b]the Tehenu were portrayed as tall, dark skinned (or bronze-skinned, as I noted above), with long black hair, short pointed beards, slender faces and thick lips[/b] ; most of which needless to say are features characteristic of African populations - the ancestors of humanity. In ancient times men wore single hair locks on one side of the head, and in some cases the side-lock was worn on both sides of the head at once. Libyan chiefs however were found wearing the double side-lock (as seen on two chiefs in a relief at Karnak). Libyan captives often appear as wearing only one side-lock, either on the left or on the right side of the head. Incidentally, writes Oric Bates, [b]the hieroglyph for the "west" iment (the Libyan land) is seemingly a cap with a plume, and two pendants of unequal length which appear to be side-locks;[/b] which he compared to modern Berber Imushagh ('Berber Tuareg') women, who sometimes braid their hair in two side-locks on the right and left of the head.
