(Infra, p. 136.) An identical type, possibly fromanother Phoenician colony, is metwith about 150 years earlier. Fromthe Theban tomb at Qoornet Murrai,of the time of Amuntuonch (Amen-anchut of Birch), we select (Fig. 90)one instance of the many, to illus-trate physiological similitudes,175that time has not extinguished,along the present coasts of Pales-tine, in the fishermen of Sour andSeyda (Tyre and Sidon), even tothis CARRIED THROUGH EGYPTIAN MONUMENTS. 1G5 This great Asiatic chief (Fig. 91) is killed, in single combat, byRamses II.; the colored original being drawn on a magnificent tableau,at Rosellini makes him one of the Scythian Tohen,beyond the Euphrates; and Morton deems him Pelasgic. Hisfeatures depart essentially from the Semitic cast; and the face offersthe earliest instance wherein Egyptian art has figured the eye closed. In this instance, as in many others,our copy is reversed; but such inad-vertencies do not affect ethnogra-phic precision. Fig. 92. Fig. 91.
