[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ I agree with Takruri, something is up here. They are willing to trade 90 mummies in place of just one bust?! IMHO one bust is not worth all that-- 90 preserved human bodies. Could the Nefertiti bust be a fake? Again, we don't know for sure. The bust is not inscribed, but the style of make doesn't seem that unauthentic. The actual features of the bust don't look uncommon for indigenous Africans from that part of the continent, but the complexion seems a little pale. I don't want to get back into that argument again that was held most recently [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=005373#000000]here[/URL]. I just want to say that either the Germans know something about the bust they're not saying, [i]or[/i] they put too much pride and exaltion on to that bust (which Hitler himself did when he claimed she was an example of "Aryan" beauty)! As for Hemiunu, that statue is actually defiled since it was found by Egyptologists with its nose broken off and was then 'reconstructed' with a new nose.

They really aren't important to either the Germans or to Hawass because they are not useful for furthering either German or Hawass racist agenda. :) [/qb][/QUOTE]^ But I don't see how the [i]royal[/i] mummies would further such an agenda either! :confused: [/QB][/QUOTE]
