[QUOTE]Originally posted by arthurkemp: [QB] More Negrocentric bull****: [IMG]http://hotlism.net/imagehost/images/av83vx8neelw23i7kvot.jpg[/IMG] Negrocentrists often use this image to prove that the anceint Egyptians thought of themselves as Negroes. This is not so - and an utter lie. It is a composite of a modern drawing. But don't take my word for it, I'm no Egyptologist or University professor. But Frank Yurco is: Those figures in the Lepsius Erganzungsband, pl. 48 are actually not Lepsius' work, but a re-edition done in 1913, as I showed in my article in Egypt in Africa (Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press, 1997). To make matters worse, the hieroglyph texts between these figures were garbled. The original scenes both in Sety I's tomb and in Ramesses III's tomb showed the Egyptians and the Ku****es as distinctly different. Also, the hieroglyphs on the real walls are distributed between each of the four figures depicting each type. You can now view the real photographs of both the Sety I and Ramesses III walls in Hornung's volumes on the Valley of the Kings. I have been inside both tombs myself and have seen these scenes and their texts, and on the basis of this, the depiction in the Erganzungsband is not a real depiction of what is on the walls but rather a pastische, arranged from Lepsius' notes and garbled in the process. It is unfortunate that so many people have depended on this depiction as reality, when a look at the walls in both tombs shows that patently it is not reality. Most sincerely, Frank J. Yurco University of Chicago -- Frank Joseph Yurco fjyurco@midway.uchicago.edu Here is a copy of some figures from the Seti I tomb by Minutoli in 1820, possibly when the tomb was in better shape. From left: four Libyans, Nubian, Syrian, and Egyptian. [IMG]http://hotlism.net/imagehost/images/dgf183gn7cdxnen4gl.jpg[/IMG] Does the Egyptian look Negroid? Of course not. Only a foolish, inept Afrocentric would claim just because that Egyptian has somewhat darkish skin (Though perfectly in the Mediterannean range) he is a Negro. When they obviously viewed Negroes as a different race entirely. Egyptians with Negroid African slaves. Memphis, tomb of Horemheb. Dynasty XVIII, prior to 1348 B.C. Bologna, Museo Civico Archeologico. Note the racial differences. [IMG]http://hotlism.net/imagehost/images/ecvzvmsbbsmpvpzeji1k.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
