Is Kmtian wavy and straight hair the only trait not shared with Ancient Nubians?

I also posted a picture of a West African girl wearing a plant fiber wig that looked nothing like the deity mask![/QUOTE]The hair left on the head is shaved. A special libation, known as triple libation is poured with a cocktail of millet-beer, palm wine and Schnapps. During libation, the god's blessing is asked for the girls. After the parents of the girls present a castrated goat to the Dipo priest for slaughtering, the blood is used in washing the girl's feet, in the belief of washing away any bad omen that might prevent the girls from becoming mothers in future. The 'dipo-yo' is made to sit on a special stool covered with white cloth. Some marks are made on the body with clay. The girls are made to wear the intestines of the goat across their shoulders and taken to a shrine, where they are made to sit on a sacred stone three times. After the ceremony, the girls are carried home amidst jubilation. The remaining hair shaved by the priest are worn like hats by the girls ^^^ proof that Djeshootme makes up stuff, like he knew what that head piece was made of, exposed, not plant fiber .

This item sheds no light on Egyptian art. [/QB][/QUOTE]
