Pharaoh Ramses II often referred to the Hittites as humtywhich translated from ancient Egyptian meant "women-soldiers", as it was the practice of male Hittite warriors to wear their hair long.[10] Scholars have also regarded the Hittites to be of a "Mediterranean ethnic group".[11] Archeologist Henry Heras's analysis of Egyptian portrayals of the Hittites, coincided with this view as they appeared to possess physical characteristics typical of Mediterranean people.[12] Some scholars believed that this may point to a north-east African origin as such physical traits have been thought to originate in this area.[13][14] Similar physical characteristics were possessed by the ancient Greeks leading some to suspect that both ancient Greeks and Hittites descended from similar prehistoric populations in the Near East and Aegean.[15] Physical anthropological analysis of populations alone, however, is an insufficient basis for grouping peoples into races, substantiating theories of folk migrations and accounting for the origins of ancient people due to many complicated factors.[16][17]
