I said she's Moroccan, as in not Black.

I live in York, her skeleton is laid out in the Museum in the city gardens.

Viking is just 50% of the injuries on a Viking skeleton found here. I didn't manage to take the other picture of the rest as an American tourist woman kept leaning over it.

>In striking contrast, sub-Saharan L lineages are prevalent in North African Arab and Berber populations at frequencies around 20–25% (25.5% in Moroccans, 24.9% in Tunisians, 30.2% in Libyans; our unpublished data), yielding a difference exceeding an order of magnitude.

I am saying that claiming she is Mediterranean is stupid because that is contrary to genetics and her obvious phenotype.

I have an almost sexual attraction to functional fortifications.
they make me feel all warm and fuzzy and secure.

>>371011
>i am just saying specialists with direct access to the find dont know better than me from looking at a picture of it on 4chan

>>371011
Her phenotype, her face, is a complete reconstruction. We have no real idea on her skin colour or hair type. They found a skeleton in a grave surrounded by expensive Jewellery.

Afrocentrists have naturally gone crazy going so far as to call her the African queen or York.

>>371022

She is quite clearly a mixture. It's so wishy washy with people, no different from when people try to claim us as Caucasoid.

>I always put figures in. As an illustrator you quickly catch on to the fact that nobody's going to look at it if there's no human interest. When you start including figures, you can begin to create a sense of atmosphere. You can show how people relate to a space and you can explore the realities and practicalities of the place, how people lived, how they adapted to their surroundings, how they slept, how they ate.

Found the text that goes with it:

A slippery climb
Invaders even tried climbing up the latrine shaft to get in the castle. This approach broke the siege of Château Gaillard, France, in 1204. However, if the invaders got stuck and died, the drains needed a good cleaning before the latrine could be used again.

You should see the works of Bruegel.

It wasn't. It was near Salona, the capital of the province Dalmatia. Diocletian was born near Salona.

Anybody else think that the American army uniforms have always looked pretty dumb except for the Vietnam era?

Are you German by any chance?
