[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kem-Au: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by green_appletini: [b]Hey everyone, i'm new to this forum so hope you guys can help! I'm a student, and i'm doing my Ancient History extension project on Nefertiti and the controversies surrounding her. I am in doubt as to whether i should believe in the reports by CBC on Dr. Hawass having done the DNA tests and Fletcher not having had proper training. It's part of my project to analyse what information is reliable...so can anyone suggest anything to me? I just don't understand why the DNA news hasn't been around in other big news websites such as CNN or BBC? Also, Dr Hawass hasn't said he got the DNA results in his own website either. It'd be great if someone can give me some suggestions as of what to do!Thanks![/b][/QUOTE] This was the reason for my own skepticism. This should've been bigger news. I hope you're a college student, because you have alot of digging to do and you'll need alot of resources. There's a ton of unanswered questions surrounding this, and that DNA report is at the center. I'd start with Fletcher's program. List out all her points that can be qualified: the age of the mummy, the bent right arm and the gender of the mummy are good starts. But again there are many unanswered questions. But try to find as much as you can that pre-dates Fletchers theories. There was an Egyptologists who noted that the mummy was female, and one that noted it was male, long before Fletcher and Hawass. The Nubian wig and facial similarities with Nef and the mummy are speculation. How can you measure (and thus prove) something like that? Proving that the mummy is was a female Pharaoh is a good start. The bent right arm could be key to this. I don't know if this helps at all, but it's all I can say right now. [/QB][/QUOTE]
