Ancient Egyptians Held Dwarves in High Esteem

P finds the theory interesting.


Short stature didn’t prevent dwarves in ancient Egyptian culture from attaining high positions in society. Some served as assistants to the pharaoh, while others were looked up to as gods.....


In the ancient necropolises of Giza and Saqqara, dwarves hailing from various professions were depicted on at least 50 tombs. They included jewelry makers, animal or pet handlers, fishermen, entertainers and dancers, nurses and midwives. Some held more important positions.

My main man is just doing what the helix says. When DNA says dance, it supplies the music. Before everybody jumps on my insensitivity, relax, I'm tall, white and can't dunk a basketball, we all have our crosses to bare in this world.
Will this be a zero reply thread?

61 looky lews and counting. No replies. What no interest in scientific theory.

Aww! France I was shooting for 100 looky lews without a reply. You ruined it. Now I have quit avoiding my life and go find so meaningful answers. Oh well, I'll try for 100 another time.

Happy New Year. If you're in France you'll be sixin' before me.

And why was a Puerto Rican playing an egyptian princess?

This thread must've been inspired by what I said in another thread.

Parliament and Earth , Wind and Fire were using those themes first on stage and records. Funk oriented--taking it back to the Motherland.

This was way after, but I always thought the stuff about Akhenaton he was babbling about during the Emancipation era was really interesting.

Prince seems at least decently well read on history and religion, he must've read about Ahkenaton and monotheism, which is why it baffles me he got himself into the Jehovah's Witness thing, I mean it doesn't take much reading on Ancient Egypt and Akhenaton before you start reading about the origins of Christianity and such.

Prince received a prophecy long ago telling him that he would marry a woman who's ancestors were Arabic / from Africa. When he met Mayte, he thought she was The One and thought that he could pass her as that Egyptian princess. He is still waiting for his Arabic princess. It becomes more & more evident with each new song emerging. He is still looking ... she will soon become a truer reality. 2006 is the year of manifesting dreams. Never think your dreams are too big or unattainable. Everything you believe can & will come to life, easily, this is one secret of life - believing is key! You must believe, even when there are moments in time it appears you are on a shelf - these are times of great testing. Happy wish-filled 2006!
