The background is Upper Blemmyes green, but many simply consider it Blemmyes green. The 2 pointy stripes in the lower corners are probably just that, 2 pointy stripes. Why they are there is unknown, perhaps they thought it looked nice. The darker brown stripe gives the flag depth, although it is unknown if that was intended or not. The stripe perhaps refers to the Blemmyes, a peacefull tribe (of dark / brown skinned people) living near the Meroe. File:Upper blemmyes chra ptolemey.png
