She could pass in a lot of places, but she looks very Greek to me, particularly in the first picture...very pretty and elegant woman.
Another typical Levantine face. One would assume she fits in Turkey, Aegean islands, Cyprus, South Italy, which is true, but I only see her as typically Levantine.
Are you bipolar? One day you praise me, another you say I'm t-rolling.Nik never gets tired of t-rolling. It's like an OCD disorder. He can't help himself, so we should have some compassion.

What's with the insult, again? Aren't you the moderator supposed to keep the watch? Same old story with you, then you get hypersensitive and issue infractions.
And who am I t-rolling? Italians? Haven't I always defended Italians? Or haven't I always been anti-Nordicist?
You're all ignorant on the Levantines. Visit Lebanon and then speak. Her eyes are super Levantine.
I'll give you the word only on Ligurians as you can't even act knowledgeable on other Italian regions.
So why do you fall into the so-called "Balkan level" and assume an entire story behind my post?My dear Nik, I praise praiseworthy content. You do provide some, no doubt. I call out nonsense when it's nonsense. I call them as I see them honestly every single time and always have. Not everyone looks at things only through the prism of their own ethnicity, or even worse, some false idea about their own ethnicity.
I have no idea why you have to bring Italians into this. I was sure she was Greek, for goodness' sakes.
Some Southern Europeans can overlap with Eastern Mediterranean people phenotypically but you see it in everybody.
That woman honestly doesn't look anything like most Levantines to me. And yes, I have a lot of experience with Southern Italians. I've been married to one for decades, and living in New York I'm surrounded by them, and by Greeks for that matter, and Jews, and I worked for a charity helping Lebanese Christians come to this country. It's not like I'm living in Poland or something.

I've lived 7 years between the Middle East, Balkans, and Italy, therefore I apply this limited knowledge on the guessing topics.
Before I was like you all, basing my ideas on people I met while growing up in Switzerland or travelling, but now I look back that I was so wrong and I can even tell between Lebanese/Syrians, Iranians, Gulf Arabs, Jordanians, Egyptians, Algerians, etc.
Remember that Greeks are in small numbers compared to Arabs, and they have considerable amount of Albanian, Vlach, Slavic, Pontian, Asia Minor Greeks, Cypriot etc. admixture, reducing the number of "typical Greeks" to half or more. Then among the remaining ones you have the mainland and island types.
That said, when you call an island Greek as typical and I see this specific phenotype very widespread among Arabs and Levanites, I'll obviously called it Arab as they're in considerable higher numbers than just island Greeks for example.
And at the end of the day, it's my opinion and I'm exercising my right to share it. Anyone can agree or disagree without the need to pinpoint possible mental health issues that I might have.
I love the fact that entire town was supervising them in their walk. The older women in that clip look like they would not look out of place in my hometown.
I know more Levantine than Italians with her appearance (based on the first picture). Then again, it's your opinion against mine. Does she look Italian? Of course. Does she look Greek? Of course.There is nothing Levantine about her. Now I have met quite a few Lebanese girls in mytime. My son was dating a Lebanese girl for a while. You could have said that she might look Albanian since Albanians, Greeks and Italians, particularly Southern Italians, are very close genetically.

Albanians dont look like most Greeks or South Italians, and Albanians are genetically close to Tuscans and North Italians.
...and yet you think the Arbereshe still look Albanian....and yet there are a lot of Arbereshe towns in southern Italy. One of them Spezzano di Albanese is right next door to Terranova di Sibari where her mother came from. For all we know there might be some Arbereshe blood somewhere, since the two towns are so close together. Of course she could have taken after her father's family from L'Aquila.
Untrue. I've always stated in every topic discussed that Italians look Italians from North to South no matter the phenotypes or pigmentation.OMG. We get it Nik: to you most Southern Italians and Greeks look Levantine.
