I would like to start off by stating, that the reason i’m making this thread is to show various images of Middle Easterners of the past that doesn’t get a lot of attention from the mainstream for some reason. Most images of Middle Easterners that apparently get shown a lot are the Egyptian tiles, which depicts bound Asiatics captives with a yellowish pasty complexion, plus the bound Libyan (Temehu) captive, which most people in the mainstream enjoy promoting as the indigenous Amazigh, instead of a representative Sea person, that adopted the ways of the Libyans (Tehenu, Meshwesh, and Temehu). Also, you just can’t forget the inclusion of the black skinned Nubian captive of course.  The three other tiles which depicts the Asiatics are identified as being a North Syrian, Shasu Bedouin, Hittite in respectable order from left to right. For some reason these are the main images that most people tend to use, when it comes to observing Middle Easterners (this goes for both Eurocentric minds and Afrocentric minds), but apparently ignore images such as this, a tile depicting a bound Philistine captive.  Hmm, how come this tile depicting an Asiatic is ignored and not given any media coverage by mainstream Western Academics, but the other tiles are given enough coverage and attention? So, this is a dedication for the lost faces of the Ancient World that the have been purposely ignore by Western Academia, feel free to chime in, if you got some great images of Middle Easterners. Disclaimer: Images would be identified entirely, if one would like to make a contribution to this thread, please identify the following depiction’s ethnic background. Most images of Middle Easterners would include a variety of art from different eras. Depictions will include those done by the Ancient Egyptians, Greco-Roman era depictions of Middle Easterners, and depictions done by Middle Easterners themselves. |

 Part of original the mural that have been infamously dubbed “The Races of Mankind” showing the Asiatics and Nubian  Recent reconstruction of the “Races of Mankind”, it’s interesting to note that the Asiatics are depicted with a light Brownish tint, for a complexion, while the Libyans are portrayed being fair skinned. Before this modern reconstruction, the previous reconstruction both portrayed the Libyans and Asiatics as being fair skinned, while portraying the Nubians and Nubians Black and Brown. The original mural shows a different picture showing the Libyans being entirely wiped off the wall, presumably due to damage over millennia, while the Asiatics, Egyptians, and Nubians are still seen at face value. But the Asiatics skin are bleached out. One of the Asiatics body is entirely bleached, while the other is partially bleached out.  Screenshot of one of the Asiatics not entirely bleached Interesting enough when you look at this Asiatic up close, you can see that his head is much darker than the rest of his body. This mural was the main focus of debate over proving the race of the Ancient Egyptians, by both Afrocentrists and Eurocentrists, especially regarding the Asiatics and what made them distinct. But surprisingly enough the Asiatics might have been a little much darker, despite the bleached out skin and reconstruction, hell it possible that even the Libyans were much darker than we see now, especially since the Libyans are wiped off the wall. Interesting how few people catches this.

 A relief of an Assyrian soldier marching two Hebrews into exile from the city of Lachish  A relief depicting Hebrew men being escorted by Assyrian soldiers out of the city  A relief portraying Hebrew women being sent into exile  A relief of an Assyrian soldier and three Hebrew musicians  A relief portraying four Hebrew musicians with dread locks For those wondering why posted colorless images of the Ancient Hebrews, I want people to get a better understanding of how they were portrayed, especially from a more common and limited style. Given that there are few images portraying the Ancient Hebrews in color, because of their beliefs I thought it would be best to show what they look like from the most art common style out there, before I show what seems to be the only representation of the Ancient Hebrew before the current era, in the world. kemetway.com/Digest/img/photo/invaders/assyrian3.jpg(Edit) This is actually a rare colorized reconstruction of a fresco of the Assyrian King, Tiglath Pileser III smiting or executing a Hebrew captive Update 9/28/19 Here is entire or at least part of the fresco missing, I just recently found online.  Interesting enough, there is another colorized depiction of the Hebrews. The four Hebrew musicians above have been surprisingly colorized  |
