Please support your statement of being 'non-authentic'.
There is a fine line between skepticism and ignorance. How the hell are you going to do a CT scan "in person"?
You don't have X-ray vision, nor do amateur assessments "inspections" outside the peer review arena mean much. Stop being egocentric, the world is a lot bigger than you think.
Evidence suggesting that the outer layer of the bust is more recent than the rest of bust is quite well known. The studies are available online and Hammer, if he's a professor, should have access to them. I wouldn't be surprised if it is available through the open source realm as well.
This has no bearing on the body plain of the Ancient Egyptian. The population were and still are tropically adapted in terms of body plain, and genetically-speaking, are African, in terms of form. The evidence in both areas are downright undeniable at the moment.

CAIRO, Dec 2 (Reuters Life!) - Egypt, in a diplomatic tug-of-war with Germany over the bust of Queen Nefertiti, will hold talks this month to try to recover the 3,400-year-old pharaonic treasure Egypt says was smuggled out of the country.
Egyptian antiquities chief Zahi Hawass told Reuters he will meet the director of the Egyptian Papyrus Collection at Berlin's Neues Museum, where the bust is on display, on December 20 to resolve the row over Nefertiti, the mother-in-law of boy king Tutankhamun.

Egypt demands return of Nefertiti bust from Germany Published: 21 Dec 09 09:07 CET
Egypt's antiquities chief Zahi Hawass said on Sunday that Cairo will demand the return of a 3,400 year-old bust of Queen Nefertiti, accusing Germany of fraudulently acquiring it.
Hawass, who heads the Supreme Council of Antiquities, made the announcement after talks in Cairo with Friederike Seyfried, director of the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection at the Neues Museum in Berlin....
Hm it looks like Hawass didn't make the trip to Germany after all.
