[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [QB] [b]THE red flag[/b] One glaring omission on this topic is the fact of the participation of The National Geographic Society in this 'reconstruction' business as well as being a sponsor of the "Tut tour" . They are the same ones who caused a stir when they did a computer reconstruction of the face of the sphinx back in 1991. Rather than elaborate on that and the society, I suggest the following: a) Most public libraries have magazine collections, and they certainly have the National Geographic magazine. b) Spend some time and browse these issues from the earliest to the present, focusing on articles on Egypt and other African countries c) Take a particular note of their portrayal of all non-European peoples d) Form an opinion or an analysis and then let me know if you want to... [b]sophisticated San Francisco[/b] As I have previously pointed out, by using the "Hatshepsut" exhibition that will re-open the DeYoung museum in Golden Gate Park, it's refreshing to live in a more socially sophisticated environ such as the Bay Area. Said that to say this... In the SF Chronicle's coverage of this 'event', while not editorializing, it presented the three different interpretations of Tut - the American, the French, and the Egyptian. Notice how cleverly the Chronicle put [b]an actual Ancient Egyptian image[/b] of the boy king for the Egyptian version. (The same image in Djehuti's comments above) You think they are making a statement here?

Those who need to know this, already do. It's all that really matters... [This message has been edited by Wally (edited 12 May 2005).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
