What's up with these two? Notice the thing on their foreheads? The first is from Azerbaijan, and the second Egyptian...

Woah, that is weird

if you mean the mark on the forehead, then that's because they are Shia.

@Bobbin: the first guy was Kuwaiti (he's dead now), the second is the current ruler of the Emirates, adn the third? I dunno.

also, the syrian guy you had is also good for the arabs. yes-there are arabs from the region with brown hair. In fact, any semetic face will do, so long as its not from Ethiopia.

Very good face pictures, spot on what is needed. Shame about the subjects though, I put them up anyway as I'm sure they could be altered to make them look less recognisable (i know i wouldn't want to have Hitler or Ceausescu as my faction leaders face).

I can only support that. And I have to say I was really upset, when I clicked on the "Austrian" face and I saw Hitler...sorry but I thought this forum is not so simple minded or is the only face that is associated with Austria Hitler? And I wonder what Hitler and other war criminals are doing in this thread (and the celebs). Ok the face models are just hilarious but thats not the topic.

Sry if this sounds offensive, but I didn't expect that when I was curiously reading this thread.

I agree, I'd really rather not have Stalin, Ceauşescu and Putin duking it out with Hitler, Mussolini and Brad Pitt.

Not to rain on your parade, but Egyptians (your pics here) of today are arabs. The Egyptians of antiquity were not arabs. I think they closest one you can get is to find some pictures of Copts, they are supposed to be descendants of native Egyptian people.

actually, no, they mostly aren't of arab decent. most Egyptians in the middle ages adopted the names of their overloards, who were a minority of the population at best.

there were simply never enough of them to change the general appearence of Egyptians*. even in Arabia, the character of the population is (mostly) different from ancient times, since the Arabs loved to import east africans slaves, whom they often had kids/ intermarried with. the only idea IIRC of how the ancient might have looked is with the Nomadic tribes and aristocracies of the peninsula-Arabs traditionally judged your eminency by how "pure" you are. its why many tribes today are inbred. look up Antara ibn shadded for an example of what happens when you aren't "pure".**

and yes, I included every possible spectrum of color I could find: from very light to Olive colored. I even made sure that the sample had African admixture, to reflect the slave trade's effects on the population. (PS: thanks to whoever found the picture of that yemeni man.)

and yes, Copts do resemble the above people-I had quite a few coptic friends in Kuwait.

*nor did they go about slaughtering them..
**no, I on't support these practices, but knowlge of them can help make EB accurate.
