The influence of Indo-European Nordic racial types on the Balkans is clear from this floor mosaic at the Macedonian capital of Pella, just north west of Salonika in northern Greece, circa 4th Century BC.

Those are two tall dudes or one small deer.

The lettering on the mosaic says "Gnosis epoesen" = "Gnosis made this."

The white race may have sprung from the same fabric as Jacob's tribes. Many references to ruddy faces and Absalom had blond hair. In all the world apart from the early Jews and actual Nordics white seems to be an extreme minority.

Sgs 5:10 My beloved [is] white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.

What is that in the upper right corner? Also, it kind of funny, why the capes?

That’s an interesting rendition of a common Greek mythological scene. There’s another one in Pompeii, that one is actually captioned. :’)
