In the Spirit of Sankofa and Truth!
Chevron,
I have had sufficient time to review the links submitted, the first two (2) covers the book of Silverman, the third covers Seneb, a high official, was head of the royal textile works under King Pepi II in the 6th Dynasty. Furthermore, it goes on to say this:
Men and male children are painted a "suntan" brownish-red, while women and female children, who spend most of their time indoors, are pale.
To take the above and apply race, especially White, I think is a terrible mistake and doesn’t help our case, but in fact pushes for establishing the White Race, to early.
The fourth and final link is more of the same concerning the Dwarf, Seneb. However, there is this:
The miniature children, however, are portrayed in a traditional manner: nude and pointing their fingers to their mouths.
Traditions, in terms of painting, style, poising, etc…is common place, and never points to a color, other than Black (dark brown) or Brown, or some varying shade thereof. Again, I think it is a mistake to infer that pale, means white, when all of us turn a lighter complexion when in doors a lot and during the winter season.
On the post contents, let’s be sure we understand our agreement on the Hittites, here is my position again:
There is no doubt that you and I agree on Heth as the progenitor of the Hittites, the bible gives us that basis of fact. The dispute between us is that the Hittites should be called the Hattians, and the Hattians are of non-Indo European descent, which matches up with the biblical account, regardless of the timeline.*
So, what remains between us is to go over your sources on mutation, and after that, it’s pretty much a rap. Again, I have thoroughly enjoyed the conversation, so to speak, and look forward to your involvement with us in the GroupThink Project-Group...Peace In my sister friend.
SENEB
4th Dynasty – Old Kingdom [2400s BC]-
BEFORE THE GREAT WORLD FLOOD!

CLASSICAL EGYPT: THE OLD KINGDOM
“The paint is perfectly preserved, allowing the viewer to notice at once that Seneb’s wife and daughter have pale skin, untouched by the sun, reflecting their social status as high-ranking females who work mainly indoors. In contrast, the tanned, ruddy skin of Seneb and his son is typical of Egyptian depictions of men of all ranks, who were more accustomed to working outdoors.” pg 216.

Bro Clyde,
Thank you for your comments. Yes we do agree on the Hittites.
In regards to the Hattians in respect to the timeline, I still refer to timelines when it comes to history. But actually, I did not realize that the question was in regards to ‘the Hittites being called Hattians’ and ‘whether the Hattians are Indo-European. I never believed that the Hittites were Hattians. I believe that, like most historical accounts; the Hittites came in and took over from the Hattians.
But as far as the true origins of the Hattians, I’ve read a lot of ambiguity on this. I do, however believe that they were originally descended from Greek origins but eventually, they became a mixed civilization. I also believe that they separated based upon ‘color’ and some bonded with the Hittites while others did not. A Hatti civilization are defined by land and by date to have dominated the northern parts of Assyria and were leagued with the Hittites in Central Italy during the 1500s B.C.
I can accept your rejection of ‘the presence of white people in the 3000s B.C.’ and can agree to disagree.
In regards to ‘Mutation’ and the term ‘Asiatics’, I will offer more later, I do however believe in mutation but not in the 2000s B.C. with regards to white people. I don’t believe that they mutated at that time based upon the events that I have presented especially in regards to ‘the war fought by Narmer’ and the origins of Adam and Cain.
Peace.
