[edit] Blemmeys
Can it be possible that the Roman Emperor Diocletian [needed] to help defeat the Blemmy[e]s? If you follow the wiki-link, Blemmyes are [...] mythical headless Ethiopes. Naerhu 07:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Yes. Like much of ancient anthropology, the Blemmyes got some embellishments, followed by some blurred distinctions. Possibly they were originally a tribe with a genetic predisposition to being hunchbacked, but by the time period in question, it was simply the title given to nomadic Beja tribesmen in the area. Think of the way anyone northeast of the Black Sea was "Scythian" from the Indo-Europeans to the Mongols. - kd 16 October 2006
