To me it’s a depiction of Sarai the sister of fire…
Who is Sarai the sister of fire?

No Abrahamic religion is as explicit in denoting Gods messengers as being black as Islam.
Facts. Some people mistaken modern Egyptians denying the truth of a black ancient Egypt as Islam being anti-black.
We keep telling people there's a difference between culture and religion but they don't understand.

@Anhur @Marks to show the reason Sarai/Sarah is fair to look upon..but she ultimately brings curses upon Pharaohs house(he hired greek mercenaries)

ill give an example...lets take the "story of Agamemnon" and his daughter Iphigenia

In Greek mythology, Iphigenia appears as the Greek fleet gathers in Aulis to prepare for war against Troy. Here, Agamemnon, the leader of the Greeks, hunts and then kills a deer in a grove sacred to the goddess Artemis.[6] Artemis punishes Agamemnon by acting upon the winds, so that Agamemnon's fleet cannot sail to Troy. Calchas the seer tells Agamemnon that to appease Artemis, he must sacrifice his eldest daughter, Iphigenia. At first he refuses but, pressured by the other commanders, agrees.[6][7]


Mosaic, 5th-century CE. From left to right: Iphigenia, Clytemnestra, Agamemnon.
Iphigenia and her mother Clytemnestra are brought to Aulis, under the pretext that Achilles will marry the girl. They discover the truth. In some versions of the story, Iphigenia remains unaware of her imminent sacrifice until the last moment. She believes until the moment of her death that she is being led to the altar to be married.

In some versions, such as Hyginus' Fabulae, Iphigenia is not sacrificed.[7] Some sources claim that Iphigenia was taken by Artemis to Tauris (in Crimea) at the moment of the sacrifice, the goddess having left a deer in her stead,[8] or else a goat (actually the god Pan) in her place.

In age of empires "the player" is inexplicably called Agamemnon in the Greek campaign :jbhmm:
