Hum, never saw Nubians like that. Isn't that black guy up there a Nubian? And AE did have a strong connection to the land south of the border. Actually they look more like Aethiopids most of the times. Some look Med and otbers Black. Afro-Asiatic seems to have appeared in the Horn, so no invading caucasoids spreading the language scenario.
Ancient Egypt was a mixed society if you ask me. Just like today. This also explains their intermediate look, in their depictions, when compared to Berbers and Semites on on side and Nubians on the other. They are in the middle.

My opinion as well, Miguel. It seems extremely likely, but I try not to parade it as fact anymore, because I still have a lot of studying to do.
The black guy is from Anheuser-Busch's (not Budweiser as I mistakenly said) African American history campaign or some shit. A lot of the pictures of sub-Saharan civilizations were actually really cool (like for Mali, Songhai, Abyssinia, etc.) but many were clearly baseless Negrocentrist fantasies (black Hannibal, black Cleopatra).

lol... you're defending Budweiser's Pharaoh now? I don't doubt there were broad Negroes in Egypt, especially early Egypt. I don't know about the early Badarians, but one look at the frescoes could tell you what the dominant phenotype in Egypt was throughout most of its history. Elongated, bronze-skinned, and fine-featured. More like Wadaad than yourself. I'm not defending anything and if you look at the art and sculpture you can see broad-featured people there too, its not some far fetched thing. As I'v posted, there is skeletal and DNA evidence linking AEs with broad featured people. Of course som looked like Horners and some did not. The point is that broad-featured people were there. I'm not defending some image that some one is posting in order to make fun of and mock "Afrocentrists" claims. My overall point is that Africa cannot be divided into zones or areas based on phenotypic and racialist models where AAs must/should claim this area, etc. The racialist perceptions are the root of the problem. |
