Heh, I heard that before. Heard it in "mix this race and that race and you'll get an awesomely looking super-healthy kid!" Almost a superiority thing amongst a minority of us mutts nowadays (errr, dont take some of those American mutts seriously btw! LOL!). Some even get into detail, and say intermixing races is best cause no inbred stuff or something... Guess all purebloods are inbreds! Haha! Take that!  |

Uhm, are they Kitans or Jürchens? I'm pretty sure that they're Jurchens. The drawings were all made during the Jin dynasty, and it's likely that the artists used Jurchens as the models for their "barbarians." They are very similar to Khitans though. |

Nice pics Altar, thanks  But yes, Babur's right, the drawing depicts an Avar warrior. Snafu, I see. Actually I wonder how I can get access to academic work which gives detailed info about these pics  |

I used a translation program to get the basic info. If you know someone who can read Chinese maybe they can tell you more. www.nipic.com/design/zhuanti/154960.html |
