hattia Pyramids in Southern Libya. I understand these were tombs. Most likely the buried their dead underground. There is over hundred of these tombs in Southern Libya today.

statue of a scribes who basically work as a secretary for pharaohs, queens, dignitaries, priest and mlitary. Their skills were very important during those times, they were considered the keeper of history, and knowledge. This statue was found in Northern Sudan, and dated during the New Kingdom, it is now house in the Khartoum National Museum in Northern Sudan.

Closer look of the statue of Lady Sennuwy found in Northern Sudan housed in the Boston Museum of Fine arts, in the United States.

This is statue is dated during the Middle Kingdom, it is the statuary of Lady Sennuwy which was found in Kerma Northern Sudan, and now housed in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts In the United States.

I never really notice this of the similarities of the Bent pyramid in egypt and some of the remaining pyramids in Nuri complex in Northern Sudan, however the tomb in the Bent pyramid is inside the pyramids, whereas the tombs in the Nuri Pyramid complex in underground. The reasons why it was built the tombs underground was due to their religious concepts of the after life, and the tombs pretty much reflected their idea of the afterlife.

The first two pictures of pyramids is in Northern Sudan.

The next two is in Egypt

I did not ask for that. .Someone asked a question. .If you had left it at where I answered we would not be here. .

No problems, and my apology to you Kandikane. Lets proceed with this beauty of this educational tread. Please add pictures Kandikane, you are more than welcome to contribute.

kandiikane:
Term for what? Idris is usually Identified with enoch from the bible but it is uncertain.

We still use idris.

I am not very familar with the old testament, nor with things pertaining to religions generally speaking, as far with the origins of different names wheither Copt or islamic! Both are just simply religions from my perspective. However this tread is about Melanesians right now.

kandiikane:
Yeah, that's what I said. .

What is the term today generation use, my bad. LoL

kandiikane:
Idris is an arabic name


Just found out that it is also a celtic name(boy)

Eventhough, i am a Coptic Christian. Idris is a arabic name, He is a muslim prophet according to the Koran or the Hadiths.

I go to this website at times, a melanesian response to his european counterpart for the reason for blonde hair.

European said
The gene that causes yellow hair in those malnutrished
malenesians and aborigins isn't the same gene that causes
blonde hair in Caucasoids for example a riffain or an iranian with blonde hair
carry the same gene that causes blonde hair in Norweigans and in aboriginals/melanesians their hair usually turns totally black when they reach puberty while you can find 80% of blonde haired adults in Finland and minorities of dark/dirty blonde adults all over the mediterranean

Melanesian response:
Have you been to Melanesia? Or do you gat your information from some other source?

Take a look at some melanesian adults:

papua girl14.jpg

081128_kolinisau.jpg

These 2 ladies and 1 man, are all of melanesian phenotype. If you have never been there, do not suddenly become an internet expert. They all wear their hair naturally, and they all have blonde in their hair. This is the melanesian phenotype for you all who may have never been there. None them is mixed. The first two ladies are from Papua New Guinea and the guy in the third spot is from Fiji.

IF the guy in the third photo is malnourished? How comes he is 6.0 foot tall and weighs 94 Kg? He still has his natural blonde hair growing long and proud. He is a rugby player on the international rugby sevens circut.

The idea that blonde hair in Melanesia does not linger into adult age or that it is due to malnutrition is a myth. Speak to a real melanesian and not to someone who writes statistics from 5 000 miles away.

Blonde hair in Melanesians is not due to mixing with European. We are proudly our own people.

No where else will you get pure non europeans exhibiting such characteristics except in my region of the world.

It is no big deal for us. We have all the natural hair colours, black, blonde in its various shades, brown, and even red at times. And we don't go to the salloon for that.

But we don't make a fuss about the colour nor are we white wannabes.

I think the Europeans are beautiful with their blonde hair, blue eyed thing going for them.

For us Melanesians, blonde hair and brown eyes is possible. But never blonde hair with blue eyes.
Forget Love, I would rather fall in chocolate.

Interesting a Nigerian Father, Wow Nigerians lay their seed everywhere. Lol

Northern Sudanese are very reluctant to marry people outside their group, yet many have cross those racial and ethnic boundaries.

tpia@:
likewise this guy seems african or AA on cursory inspection:

however, a closer look would cast some doubt:

he's australian aboriginal.

Interesting, This gentleman looks similar to the people in Kordofon or Darfur in Central and western Sudan, i would not have thought he was Aboriginal. As you already know Sudan is the fault line of all the different african peoples North African/Egyptian element, nilotic element, cushitic element, bantu element, and arabs element, however the only group is not there is the Khoisan people, but everything else we have.

this guy could pass for african, but on closer inspection his asiatic features stand out.

he's papuan.

This one look very papuan New Guinea, and i could tell right away. However with the Fijians it is a little more complex, because they have a diversity of different looks.

tpia@:
melanin+asian = black asian or melanasian.

having a darker skin colour doesnt make them[b] not [/b] asian.

some indians are darker than they are.

asian doesnt only mean chinese.

i get your point though and they probably would not like being called simply asian due to various reasons.

Yeah, you can consider them that, black Asians. However i have a feeling many of them will not agree with you and you are absolutely right for various reasons. Especially what is still happening in the other half of the island of New Guinea which belongs to Indonesia called Irian Jaya. Many of the natives is being displaced by migrants from other parts of Indonesia and oppressed by the Big Western Companies and by the Indonesian Government as well. Which is very sad!

huli

huli tribe at the annal festival or sing sing

few more huli tribe people

Papua New Guinea this man is from the huli tribe known for their elaborate hairdos, there is usually a yearly festive gathering of the different tribes throughout Papua New Guinea in July or August in the highland or mountainous area of the country, the event is called a sing sing!

tpia@:
They're asian.

Well, they are not Asian Tpia! They consider themselves simply Melanesians, and being simply themselves according to their customs, lanuage and tribes. There are many of them on line with their own forums, and creating their own youtube videos, so i suggest you converse with them, you may learn a great deal from them, i know i have.

clemcykul:
hello i dont mean being mixed in terms of being born due to inter -racial marriage with white, being mixed is this context means, there are different colors of skin and hair amongst this people making them peculiar and beautiful. . .the complexity of their nature is amazing.

for instance in some african countries ie Nigeria we are pure blacks with black hair,except for albinos and mulattoes. but this people comprise of different variety of skin colors and hair without any genetical link with whites. i dont know if i have made my point.

Ok, i see your point, and i understand your meaning as well therefore you won't get a argument from me. As far as nigerian diversity, i don't know about that one, you do have people within northern nigerian quite different from the general population

for example these people in the borno region.

As far as Melanesians they are indeed a distinct group of lovely people.
question are you from South Africa?
