Yup. I’m Greek.

toes

Here’s what I’ve found from my exhaustive google searches:*

  • Greek foot (also known as Morton’s foot) has the 2nd toe longer than all of the other toes.  Can be seen on Roman statues Tiberius, the Greek God Apollo and the Statue of Liberty.  Indicates leadership qualities. Rulers from ancient Egyptian and Hawaiian royal dynasties all had long second toes. You need to be in charge. (DK: Yup. Got this right. Kids, listen up.  Your old man is a near direct descendant of Apollo.  Greeks’ Rule.)
  • Germanic foot (also known as Peasant feet or Giselle feet) has at least 3 toes similar in length and tend to be short and stubby.  Stable functioning foot. Ideal for ballerinas. (DK: Wow.  Peasant and Ballerina.  Scratch your head on that one.)
  • Egyptian foot has the longest big toe with all other toes tapering down.  Described as the most functional of all of the foot structures. (DK: Figures that the pyramid-builders would get this right.)
  • Celtic Toe: Wiki** states that article references on this topic are subject to deletion as there is no scientific support or basis for these conclusions.  (DK: Bottom Line: If you have Celtic toes, you’re in deep trouble.)
  • Roman Toes: (DK: Couldn’t find any research.  Even Wiki** had a minor passing reference. So you are either alien or a yet-to-be-discovered species.)

  4. Egyptian here too… 🙂 Celtic cracks me up…both the drawing and what you have to say about it. Sorry, any of you Celtic feet out there, but… Lol!!!! Sorry.

  5. My left foot is Egyptian and my right foot is Greek. Go figure. Seriously I’m laughing about it too. I learned something today. Great post.

    BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

  6. DK, The sixth category – Cro Magnon – is mysteriously missing from your research. I think you may want to reconsider the category you actually belong to..!!..

      1. Laughing….I vacillated between Nefertiti and Cleopatra, but decided to go with the former, as her name means “The Beautiful one has come” and I figured it was hard to go wrong with an announcement like that. 😉

    1. You too have facial similarities to Egyptian women. I think this chart has real legs. (No pun intended)

      I’m sure your hubby has landed with similar conclusions about you.

  17. I am laughing! Great mid-day wake up! My feet are Egyptian and the Celtic looks an awful lot like my hands–don’t want to know what that means!

  18. Well, I’m somewhere between an Egyptian and a Greek (first two toes are even, the rest taper), so that puts me in the Mediterranean. Perhaps, I’m Atlantean.

  21. Uh huh. I am Greek. Cheese! (: I loved DK’s notes for Roman toe “So you are either alien or a yet-to-be-discovered species.” 😀

  27. My family must have been EVERYWHERE…because my feet look like a combination of them all…lol

  28. Left foot clearly Greek. Right foot has just a tad Egyptian. Seriously, my right foot is like my mother’s, left foot like my father’s. Does that make me a leader of pyramid making..or?

  33. I am Greek, too, much to my surprise. I notice that we also have some other similarities, David, in our writing styles. I am very pleased to notice all of this, today.

      1. I’m experiencing a second life, David… my wife passed away last Autumn and I had a major heart attack in April from related stress. I wasn’t breathing when the hospital’s helicopter got me into surgery… but quick action resulted in a new, bouncing me! And it sure is good to be around!

  41. That makes me Greek as well. Which should surprise my Jewish ancestors. And the Greeks. Don’t the people who developed the chart know of any other ancestries in the world?
