>>12202890I'm 100% Lebanese and have light brown hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. My body hair is also blonde on my arms. I do not tan, I only become reddened and freckled.
And I'm not even that special. I've seen Lebanese, Syrians, Palestinians, ect who have curly red hair and freckles like Irish people.
In fact, the whitest man I've ever seen in my life turned out to be a Jordanian.
These empires were large and the major hubs were large coastal cities which had people coming from every corner of Europe and the Mediterranean, so who knows what bits of DNA we received from these contacts, not to mention 400 years on-and-off of continued Crusader presence.
