Racial variety of the Egyptian world, from a mural in the Tomb of Seti I. From left to right, the god Horus, an Egyptian, a Libyan Greek, an African, and a Syrian. In the venerable tradition of creating gods in our own image, Horus has the skin color of the Egyptian, detectably different from that of the African. This image is edited from Lepsius's Denkmäler, which shows 4 identical examples of each human race.
