Egyptian Table of Nations

This is my adaptation of an artistic sequence from the ancient Egyptian Book of Gates which compares the people of Egypt (or Kemet) with other peoples in their world. From left to right, the subjects are a Libu dude from the Mediterranean coast of Libya, a Kushite from the region of Sudan known as Nubia, a Semitic dude from the Palestinian region, and a native Egyptian. Of course, these are generalized representations of each regional group, as there would have been substantial admixture and blending between the different populations in real life (human variation being clinal and all that).
