[QUOTE]Originally posted by Keino: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Kem-Au: [b]This article is very suspect. I'm completely open to the possibility that the mummy is in fact not Nefertiti, but this site does not prove to me that the mummy is male. It may be male, but I'm going to wait for an official word from Hawass on this DNA report. This should be bigger news, and on more than just this site. First, the article seems very cynical, almost mocking Fletcher and the Discovery channel. Personally I really don't care, but this is not typical journalism. Second, the pdf would not open on my machine in any of my web browsers. I got an error saying file couldn't be found or something. Did either of you see it? And if so, could you send it to me. Also, the facial reconstruction was definitely female. If this mummy is really a male, then does that mean we can not trust facial reconstructions? If the mummy ends up being female after all, does that mean we can't trust DNA test? I've seen modern forensics do facial reconstructions that really look like murder victims for example, but could that be because the artist already had a picture of the person to begin with? What about the bent right arm? If the mummy is in fact a male, does the bent right arm mean that we are dealing with a male Pharaoh? If this is the case, and seeing as the mummy is probably 18th Dynasty, shouldn't the mummy's DNA match Tut's somewhere along the line? Someone should check this now that we are doing DNA tests right? This is confusing. I'll be glad when this gets sorted out.[/b][/QUOTE] I have always thought the mummy's reconstruction looked male without the accessories. If you use the spin window you can take the image from begining to end of reconstruction. I was just telling someone the other day that without accessories that the mummy actually looks like a guy friend of mine. It is quite possible this mummy could have had some sort of genetic chromosome disease. Have they considered this possibility? [/QB][/QUOTE]
