Still think my theory could hold - pictures preceded the written word, and all that. Could them sacred texts / make up tips have been based on pictures, you think?<br /><br />How's the influx of the GOP treating you?zigzacklyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061386367303982262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944919.post-1093746223312818832004-08-28T22:23:00.000-04:002004-08-28T22:23:00.000-04:00No idea why that date is wrong ... maybe this IS t...No idea why that date is wrong ... maybe this IS the future??<br /><br />As for blue skin, I believe (some) of the gods were referred to as blue-skinned in ancient prose/verse, so that indigo dye went deeper than just the graphix. But I don't have any direct knowledge of these matters. I know someone who believes that the blue-skinned gods of the subcontinent shared make-up secrets with the woad-bedaubed warriors of Scotland (ref Mel Gibson's appearance in That Movie).<br /><br />BTW, I notice I have twice referred to my skin problems in these posts.

Black was used for outlines. Browns might not have been visible against the painting surface. So next best colour to denote dark skin was blue.
