Hello
I'd like to post a piscture of mine, but lost all my kinks to the site that publishes them, I've even forgotten their name. Could someone please give me a link to their homepage, I recall their pages were white with orange "bars" (for lack of a better word ). the page always said image sharing something....
thanks in advance for th help!

I know I'm young and Turkish, but I kinda want my face on EB2 and I've been growing my hair for some time: it looks quite unkempt and I have been practicing my "crazy face" I thought it could maybe be used for some of the younger nomad troops, like less experienced saka horsearchers etc. (perhaps even german javelineers or sumthin like that?)
(maybe it needs a bit of photoshopping etc, I dunno!)

Hello chaps,

I was talking to my great grandfather (who is Greek) awhile ago and he was telling me some interesting things on the Greek people.

Supposedly prior to the 1000CE (or more likely much earlier in my opinion) majority of Greece were people had blonde hair and blue eyes, i.e. Northern European decent.

Unfortunately I have no literature to support my case, but supposedly the word Hellene meant blonde in ancient Greek and Hellenes or Hellenic meant blonde people?

The migration of the Turyké tribe (apologies for spelling?) from modern day Turkmenistan/Kazakhstan to the Asia Minor region in the 900'sCE(?) added the dominant 'dark features' genes to the gene pool i.e. dark hair, heavy beards etc

He also said something along the lines of Alexander's army mostly had blonde hair? Basiacally the recessive genes.

Again im not certain on the accuracy of these statements, he is very old...and quite possibly delirious...

If this were true, how much would it impact on the face database?

Again I am deeply sorry for the lack of supportive literature, but hopefully some of the historians or general forum users can point me in the right direction. I hope this all makes sense.

The question has been answered before (on this very page infact) multiple times in this thread have a look at the prevoius posts.

As for the meaning of the name Hellenes it's believed to mean "our people"

I've heared this theory before. But I have seen Englishmen and Scandinavians coming to the greek islands during summer and they always become pink in a matter of days I guess the native people of the area would have developed some genetical "defence" against their natural environment.
Plus, the slavs may had a bigger impact in the popoulation (being christians like the greeks), than turks (with who intermarrying was not possible). So the "blonde" gene might be more recent in the greek area (no that it was totaly absent in ancient greece).

Anyway, for the subject at hand
