We pass over tbe various portraits of the XXth and XXTst dynasties;
because, where identified, the type is the same, except that
it is in the females that we perceive the Asiatic caste of race most
prominently; a fact of singular ethnographical import. We renew
the illustrations at about 971—3 b . c., with the portrait of Shishak,
conqueror of “ Jerusalem,”' as recorded at Karnac; and “ in the fifth
year of Rehoboam,” as chronicled by the Hebrew writers.
