I always saw the elves in TES as being sort of East Asian, even in light of Akaviri.

Altmer are Chinese, Dunmer are Japanese, Bosmer are Vietnamese, Orcs are Mongols, and the Falmer are Tibetan.

>Dwemer are very basically designed after Babylonians.

I always saw them as Greeks. Same beards, similar armor, they even have ancient technology like the Greeks. But I guess that doesn't mesh with the above.

Yeah, Persians despite being conquered by the Muslims around ~600AD never really fell into the whole being a backwards goatfucker meme and still having the Persian identity. Some of which includes actually being a competent and not having to cry to the West for help whilst calling for the death of the West (e.g. when Arabs begged French GIGN to save them when extremists took over the Xbox mosque)

Actually, northern African people from the Maghreb region are not black. They're a certain subset of arabs with predominanty olive skin tone and green/blue/grey eyes. Think Zidane or Samy Naceri.

Redguards are clearly black anthropologically, but there's literally nothing black about that culture, which is based on middle ages islamic arab society.

They actually look very similar, the Dwemer just have more armor. They certainly look nothing like the Babylonians.

However, I think ultimately the Dwemer are just a mix of a lot of cultures of antiquity, to reinforce their characterization as an ancient advanced race.

Actually Arab countries had some of the most advanced civilisations in the ancient world - ever heard of the Islamic Golden Age?

They just got steamrolled by African kingdoms and eventually devastated by the Mongols.

E.g. Ancient Iraq, one of the early pillars of maths, was set back centuries after the Mongols invaded - the Siege of Baghdad in 1258 was a main event.

Basically - the Arabs were once advanced, but their foundations were completely destroyed - pretty much turning them into trailer trash.

Like many of the desert people in africa those kids are likely the result of different saharan and sahelian blacks mixing with different berber groups, the odds that they are descendants of Bantu slaves are low(while there Bantu slaves in the sahara they weren't there in large numbers like they were in the horn of africa) but to answer your question I'm not really sure.
