Egyptian Art by Cryil Adred

Plate #176 is a granite head from a colossus of King SHABAKA, wearing
the Double Crown and two uraei from Karnak, c. 710 B.C. on page 214.
This head clearly shows NEGROID features of the Black King, also a part
of the great Egyptian history. This history is documented as The KUSHITE
Period, Dynasty XXV.

Adred writes:

Whether the Kushite Kings of Nubia and the Lower Sudan, who form the
Twenty-fifth Dynasty in Egypt, intervened of their own accord in the
affairs of their great northern neighbour, or were invited to do so by
the ruling faction at Thebes, tired of dynastic squabbles that
particularly injured their interests, is now obscure. What is CLEAR is
that they were WELCOMED in Upper Egypt, and secured, by force of arms
where necessary, the loyalty of Lower Egyptian princes as their vassals.
They brought ORDER and STABILITY to a divided realm.

Under these new patrons, the pharaohs themselves, the Divine Consorts of
Amun, and their officials, a great surge of activity is apparent in the
arts, particularly in statuary, which is their only memorial to survive,
now that their buildings have been largely destroyed. In general, two
styles are dominant. There is firstly the continuation of the austere
official mode which we have identified in the block statues and other
monuments of the Theban area during the Libyan dynasties. Besides works
in this style, HOWEVER, there exists more sombre and vigorous statuary
which delineates with a searching realism the characteristic ethnic
features and physiques of the more NEGROID Kushites.

Statues of Queens are unknown during this dynasty and their equivalents
are to be found in the statues of the royal daughters who were adopted
by the predecessors as human consorts of the god Amun of Thebes. A
number of representations have happily survived, the most celebrated of
which is the alabaster standing statue of Amenirdis I from Karnak. This
is a work in the idealizing style, the BROAD FEATURES and PLUMPNESS of
the Nubian female form being rendered with the utmost discretion of a
semi-translucent stone that is apt to soften details and flatten the
modelling.

The contemporary standing statues of the Theban grandees, some of whom
were near relatives of the Kushite Kings, revert to the style of the
royal statues of the early Twelfth Dynasty, themselves made under the
inspiration of the Fourth Dynasty. With their broad-shouldered torsos,
narrow waists, and legs braced in a muscular tension, they represent the
ideal of male physical beauty from the days of the Old Kingdom; but the
immediate comparison they invite is with statues of Sesostris I at
Karnak.

The heads of such statues are shown shaven, or with close-fitting
tonsure, perhaps recalling late Middle Kingdom models, which also
arrogated the shendyt kilt; but the FEATURES are cast in the
contemporary idealizing mode, giving a modified portrait of the NEGROID
physiognomy, with its BROAD cheeks, THICK everted lips and FLARING
nostrils. These statues are carved in hard, intractable stones,
quartzites, granites and basalts; some of them are finished with a fine
polish.

Well, in light of MORE evidence that BLACK AFRICANS did in fact have
MUCH to do with Egyptian history, should be noted.

Another point I find interesting is that many publishers and/or authors
of books containing Egyptian artistry are very selective in what they
show as their illustration(s). I don't know if its intentional or what,
but the many representations existing in Egypt, we (THE PUBLIC) only get
to see what the author or publisher, deems...

INTERESTING.

Stehen X, Boy:

Negroid features on an Egyptian sculpture? You mean as in a flat nose?
Maybe the tip just whithtered away like that of the Sphynx - which is
the head of an Egyptian pharoh who is most likely WHITE like most
Egyptians of the north.

And, like I always say Mr. X (any relation to that BUM Malcolm? - which
one of your boyz - Farrakhaaan - knocked off - about the only good thing
heever done with his worthless life)

Which reminds me AUSAR - what's your view of Farrakhan? Do you worship
him as your God too? And did you go to that million man march?

And one last thing (this is the question which I really really want you
to answer) what's your educational background? Did you ever get past
the 3rd grade in the 'white man's school system'? Or do 'perfect
blacks' like yourself don't go to white folks' schools and go educate
themselves on their own? I saw a 60 Minutes special on that. I thought
you blacks fought and struggled to end deseggragation in the 60's. Now
you're doing it to yourselves again? My how history repeats itself.

**Really, really...I bet you'd like to know. What difference does it
make, just deal with what you get. Don't ask questions towards someone
you really could care less about. Damn, don't be so stupid...

can't answer those questions now, can I? But I'll tell you this, I've
learned my White lessons well...
