[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [qb] Guys the question is who, when . . . and maybe why. [/qb][/QUOTE]If you are asking about the Nefertiti bust being forged or rather covered up, then the when would be back in 1912 when the bust was first discovered, the who would probably be Ludwig Borchardt, the German Egyptologist who first 'discovered' it as even his peers suggested he did some of the painting himself, and the why?... Obviously to white-wash ancient Egypt, as there are dozens of incidences of artifacts being altered to look more 'white' or forged entirely. Remember, it was only recently that the statuette of 17th dynasty matriarch was deemed a fake even though its been in museums for decades! But getting back to the topic of this thread, Egypt has demanded the return of the bust for like the past several years now. The question is when are they actually going to get it? [/QB][/QUOTE]
