A wooden toe: Swiss Egyptologists study 3000-year-old prosthesis

WE WUZ WODEN TOES
It is likely to be one of the oldest prosthetic devices in human history: Together with other experts, Egyptologists from the University of Basel have reexamined an artificial wooden big toe. The find is almost 3000 years old and was discovered in a female burial from the necropolis of Sheikh ´Abd el-Qurna close to Luxor. This area is currently being studied using state-of-the-art methods.
The international team investigated the one-of-a-kind prosthesis using modern microscopy, X-ray technology, and computer tomography. They were able to show that the wooden toe was refitted several times to the foot of its owner, a priest's daughter. The researchers also newly classified the used materials and identified the method with which the highly developed prosthesis was produced and utilized. Experts from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo - where the prosthetic device was brought to after it had been found - and the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine at the University of Zurich were also involved in this study.
The artificial toe from the early first millennium BC testifies to the skills of an artisan who was very familiar with the human physiognomy. The technical know-how can be seen particularly well in the mobility of the prosthetic extension and the robust structure of the belt strap. The fact that the prosthesis was made in such a laborious and meticulous manner indicates that the owner valued a natural look, aesthetics and wearing comfort and that she was able to count on highly qualified specialists to provide this.
Life histories of a burial ground
The prosthesis from the Early Iron Age was found in a plundered shaft tomb that was cut into the bedrock of an older, long time idle burial chapel at the graveyard hill of Sheikh ´Abd el-Qurna to the west of Luxor. This chapel belongs to a group of monumental rock-cut tombs from the late 15th century BC which were built for a small upper class that was close to the royal family. Since the end of 2015, the University of Basel has been studying this ancient Egyptian elite cemetery, its long history of usage, and surroundings.
For this project, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, microanalytic, scientifically oriented methods, as well as precision technology for surveying and photography were used. The researchers are looking into the materiality of archaeological remains and are thus gaining insight into the life histories of building structures and objects. These material biographies can provide information about the manufacturing practices, usages, personal skills, habits and preferences of people who were in contact with these objects.
A necropolis in 3-D
The oldest known tombs from Sheikh ´Abd el-Qurna date back to the early second millennium BC. The cemetery saw its heyday in the 15th century BC. However, many of these rock-cut structures were reused and in parts remodeled several times for burials during the first millennium BC. Much later, they served as dwellings mostly for locals - a process that began with the early Christian hermits and only ended in the early 20th century.
Together with the experts for geodesy and geology from the ETH Zurich, the Basel team of archaeologists is scientifically assessing the natural and artificial structures of the excavation area and its surroundings. The specialists are currently developing geometric precise digital elevation, landscape, and architecture models for this area. These will then be combined to an archaeological and geological 3-D map that will illustrate the morphology of the terrain as well as the investigated subterranean structures. On that basis, the researchers want to reconstruct and simulate the development of the cemetery and its use phases.

I have to call bullshit on this, niggers were never that smart, they're still not that smart

...

kinda reminds me of these.

Egyptions were brown (not niggers, but basically arab) even 2500 years ago AFAIK, so they probably were 3000 years ago, too.

Arabs didn't even exist that long ago. Egyptians had strong Mediterranean leanings, and some pharaos' DNA was also linked to Western European populations.

ancient-code.com/scientists-make-surprising-discovery-after-studying-dna-of-ancient-egyptian-mummies/

Furthermore, even the "black" Nubians that migrated to Egypt afterwards weren't that niggerish in terms of genes.

www.staff.amu.edu.pl/~anthro/pdf/paar/vol062/07pudlo.pdf

i thought the link to wester europeans was the r1a or r1b haplogroup of the indoeuropeans

slaves and invaders were.

Y haplogroups alone are a poor indicator of genetic relationships, because you're only looking at the Y chromosome, which gets passed down relatively unchanged from father to son only. For example, your father's father's father's father's father's father's mother could have been raped by an invading Turk, which would would then show you has having a Turkish haplotype even though you might actually only be like 0.2% Turkish ancestry.

Y haplogroups are better for showing migration/invasion patterns. For example, it's easy to tell that the indo-europoeans migrated down into the indian subcontinent and conquered the people there and mixed with them because they are all brown clearly not truly white, and yet many of them have r1a haplotype.

the browness of the egyptians is obviously just tanning, you know like most europeans can get a tan

No.

As for them being "brown", the color they used to represent themselves was a stylistic exaggeration to clearly distinguish themselves from other ethnic groups- they considered themselves "red", but really were just tanned whites.

MOORISH AMERICANS

...

Live in the fucking middle east for a year and you'll be brown colored too
but at least you wont be a nigger

Luxor is egyptian, egyptians are only black in Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time" videoclip.

Daily reminder
Every time some retard tells you that Ancient Egyptians were black, tell them "HOL UP, sou you telling me that blacks enslaved the jews!!! That's problematic!!"

I went to Machu Picchu last year, the peruvian guides told us that the Inca leaders had fairer skin, light hair and blue eyes.
Same happened in Easter Island. Master races were always more intelligent and never needed political correctness to demonstrate shit to anyone.

Sage for off topic.
Nice to see people actually learning and understanding history, the incas are arguably one of the best "non white" cultures out there in history. They are a ton whiter then you'd expect when seeing current indigenous populations in Peru. The blonde/blue eyes thing comes from one of their myths that a blue-eyed/blonde group of people (Virachoocha) taught them how to run a society and started their civilization. Blonde mummies were found as well.

A fund tid-bit that not a lot of people know is that the Incas were basically WE WUZ POTATOES AND GOLD. They created over 4,000 varieties of potatoes and even had horticulture labs setup all over the mountains surrounding Machu Picchu. They did experiments and cross bred all sorts of things to try to tailor various crops to each microclimate that occurs in the mountains. The microclimates even made it so you could have different environments near enough each other to use as labs. They were distinct from the production farms, in that they had hundreds of different potatoes on a small farm, so they were definitely used for culturing and evaluation.

I'm going to gloss over the MUH ENGINEERING because it's very well known that the Incas were great at doing stonework (picture related), and that they had advanced astrology setups (but no telescopes sadly), in favor of talking about their work with gold.

They did a lot of insane gold work, and mined a fuck ton of gold. It's not really talked about because when the spaniards came, they paid a fuck huge ransom in gold and silver to get their last king (who was kidnapped) back.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransom_Room

That's a fuck ton of gold, they paid the ransom, but the spaniards still ended up killing Atahualpa. I've always wondered where a lot of the golden treasures ended up, but I've always assumed they were melted down into ingots. But, the skill and sheer amount of gold work is extremely impressive. Take a gander at it some time. When the Spaniards showed up, they were shocked and amazed at how everyone had gold.

museoroperu.com.pe/gold.html

I'm a tard. I forgot to add stonework photos, and mummies photos. Additionally, there's two different periods of stone work that I'm aware of, there's more subsections with regards to general shapes and methods, but later on, there was a massive decline in stonework quality. Maybe due to forgetting the past and not having earthquakes that made the difficulty of the high quality stonework necessary. Pic related.

What's also not exactly talked about is how hard the incas revered their ancestors, when the Spaniards were attacking them, they were moving and hiding their mummies. They regularly consulted with the mummies for problems as well as honoring their memories.

stuff that never happened: the post

That stone work turns me on.

Reminder that whites founded their civilization.

Amazing stonework, isn't it? Notice how the modern stonework is so shitty compared to the ancient stuff. The gold stuff tends to be not AS spectacular, but the sheer volume that used to exist was amazing.

Hi Holla Forums! I know it is hard for you to believe, but some of us DO leave the basement occasionally.

Machu Picchu is a fun trip, you should try it some time. The springs turn into the most disgusting nightclub at night, but it's got cheap drinks and easy hitch hikers.

Oy vey the goyim know

Bump

Calling them "tanned whites" is going a bit too far. Although SSA genes are substantial in modern Egyptians, they still have 80% of their DNA come from their ancient counterparts.

Interesting. Is that gold wire?

Don't forget Trepanning was survivable.

http:// www.ancient-origins.net/news-evolution-human-origins/ancient-cranial-surgery-practice-drilling-holes-cranium-dates-back

fascinating, thank you, so then why do we call them turkroaches?

Some skulls from the King Tut family. They are distinctly neanderthal ie European. So the question remains how modem Europeans lost their occipital bun (for the most part) and gained a large prefrontal cortex. There aren't very many neanderthal skeletons around, so the question will probably be somewhat open-ended for now.

That looks fucking AWFUL to have in your mouth, but very neat to see.

or it could be a result of inbreeding, b/c the royal family tended to do that in the Late Kingdom

Artificial cranial deformation.
Nothing really supernatural about it.

Just proto spics and proto mudslimes being proto spics and mudslimes.

That's not the point, you glib faggot. Of course later generations used artifical means to emulate their natural-born high-status forbearers. How came those "naturals" to be and why were they deemed worthy of emulation in the first place, that's the question regarding ACD.

I think I get where you're coming from, but let us not obfuscate the fact that, whatever they were, they were not white in the sense of germanic or northern european white. Even implying such a thing is akin to "we wuz kangs" niggerdry. We don't need to appropriate the histories of other peoples, we have plenty to be proud about on our own.

Instead of trying to unify the "white cause" (european descent cause), you are probably delving into divide and conquer tactics, where if you are not blonde and light eyed, then you are "shitskin".

Pic related.
Instead of doing it, i suggest finding common ground with other europeans and stand against the ((( people ))) that are actively dividing and destroying you.

Fuck off CIAnigger. I said nothing about it being supernstural.


It is clearly natural, and clearly neanderthal. Kys.


What are you even trying to say here? If you get a family of 8 niggers to only breed with each other and their offspring, they will not develop neanderthal skulls. How do you even know about the breeding practices of the Akhenaten clan? Provide a non-kike source or gtfo.
