Question ID: 142886
I first read about this picture in a hundred years old book.  
Can anyone find the picture that described below?
It is in egypt in Biban-El-Moluk at the tomb of a farao.

Shows six man
The first one is an Egyptian since it is an Egyptian artwork he is the
most sophisticated.
Second one is a black richly dressed.
The third one is an Indian.
The fourth one is a Persian
The fifth one is a Greek; he has a bow and arrow.
The sixth one is a blue-eyed north European savage wearing animal fur.
I have found on the on the internet a picture that is similar but it
shows 4 races.
Another picture I found had 7 people, but no one has bow and arrow and
non of them wears animal fur.  It is not the one either.
The picture could be the one mentioned by Jean-François Champollion
the Younger, in his 13th letter to his brother, because here and there
I found reference to it.
One example is a reference in the book "The African Origin Of
Civilization"
At one point I almost thought I had it when in one pleace I read the
description of a tomb of a farao Sesostris I, but I am not sure.

If you can find this picture in acceptable quality, with some prove, I
am willing to pay 20 US dollars.
If the picture is a very good quality + tip.

Sincerely,
  Aakhn

Hi, aakhn --

I've been searching for this picture, and haven't found it yet. I did
find part of the text of "The African Origin of Civilization" online,
though, and the description in there seems to indicate four, rather
than six, races. Do you have the name of the book in which you first
read about the picture? Any extra information might help!

Thanks!

Dear Saxifrage
Thank you for your effort.
The book I read in, is the Encyclopedia Tolnai.  It was written in
Hungarian, almost hundred years ago.  Very extensive encyclopedia for
example only the letter A is covered on 1400 pages.  I can imagine if
the book is wrong in some, than, not yet discovered issue, but this is
a description of a tomb that is objective.
The book mentions that, the tomb was discovered at the beginning of th
XIXth century. Also it mentions, the figures are standing side by
side. The picture must be colorful, because it describes for example
the second person (the black) has splendid dress.  The fifth person
(the greek) has also a fine sandal, bow and arrows, but still half
savage.  The sixth (the northern european) has blue eye, and dressed
in animal fur, he is the savage.
Regards,
   Aakhn
