Dear Sir/Madam
Is there someone at the museum that I can contact who worked on the recent Egyptian mummy facial reconstructions? Maybe one of the curators in the Egypt gallery?
Regards

Hello. My name is Janet Hong, and I'm the project manager who coordinated the "Images of Afterlife" exhibition at The Field Museum. May I answer a question for you?
Best wishes,
Janet Hong

Dear Janet
Thank you so much for your speedy response.
Do you know whether the individuals depicted in 'Images of the Afterlife'were indigenous Egyptians or were they foreigners who ran Egypt in the latter part of its history? What era are they? I understand that Egypt was controlled by foreigners for the one thousand years or so before Cleopatra died/ the Roman takeover.
Regards

I wondered if you had had time to find an answer to my query [above].

Hello, [....]I sent your inquiry to a curator a while back-- I apologize that you haven't gotten a response yet. Let me give him a little nudge.
Many thanks for the follow-up.

Hi Janet

Still no response from the curator. Who is the curator at the museum? Can I contact him directly or is it best to go through you?

Regards'


Strangely, no response as of yet, but given the speediness with past replies, I'm now not really expecting one.

I've really absolutely no idea as to why the curator hasn't got back to me. I'm genuinely at a complete loss!

Of course the curator does not know what the fvck you are babbling about, as the history you insert on a sly in your query is some made-up Afrolunatic babble-shyt.

"were indigenous Egyptians or were they foreigners who ran Egypt in the latter part of its history?"

oh, really now? Who you fucking kiddin? RFLOL!!!

You come across as hurt. Is that because the old mainstream approach to Egypt is cornered?

I wanted to make sure I wasn't jumping the gun before I asked them to account for their 'reconstructions'.It's pretty fvking poor form not to respond to e-mails when you work in the public domain. But then what do you expect from people aligned with shitheads like you?

Clause, don't be upset. The Euronuts like White Lies Crushed, are simply that-- crushed and devastated due to the correction of the past decades of wrongs and inaccuracies to push forth their white supremacist agenda! [Big Grin]

Of course the Haitian imposter got its feelings hurt. And that's a good thing.

No Museum in the world embraces Afrocentrism in regards to the ancient egyptians. Thats why Afronuts are left with cyberspace...

Wadi Kubbaniya (ca. 17,000–15,000 B.C.)




Although no signs of houses were found, diverse and sophisticated stone implements for hunting, fishing, and collecting and processing plants were discovered around hearths.



 -


In Egypt, the earliest evidence of humans can be recognized only from tools found scattered over an ancient surface, sometimes with hearths nearby. In Wadi Kubbaniya, a dried-up streambed cutting through the Western Desert to the floodplain northwest of Aswan in Upper Egypt, some interesting sites of the kind described above have been recorded. A cluster of Late Paleolithic camps was located in two different topographic zones: on the tops of dunes and the floor of the wadi (streambed) where it enters the valley. Although no signs of houses were found, diverse and sophisticated stone implements for hunting, fishing, and collecting and processing plants were discovered around hearths. Most tools were bladelets made from a local stone called chert that is widely used in tool fabrication. The bones of wild cattle, hartebeest, many types of fish and birds, as well as the occasional hippopotamus have been identified in the occupation layers. Charred remains of plants that the inhabitants consumed, especially tubers, have also been found.

It appears from the zoological and botanical remains at the various sites in this wadi that the two environmental zones were exploited at different times. We know that the dune sites were occupied when the Nile River flooded the wadi because large numbers of fish and migratory bird bones were found at this location. When the water receded, people then moved down onto the silt left behind on the wadi floor and the floodplain, probably following large animals that looked for water there in the dry season. Paleolithic peoples lived at Wadi Kubbaniya for about 2,000 years, exploiting the different environments as the seasons changed. Other ancient camps have been discovered along the Nile from Sudan to the Mediterranean, yielding similar tools and food remains. These sites demonstrate that the early inhabitants of the Nile valley and its nearby deserts had learned how to exploit local environments, developing economic strategies that were maintained in later cultural traditions of pharaonic Egypt.
