[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ The evidence comes from DNA analysis of the mummy along with Tut and other 18th dynasty royals. The whole hair issue has been discussed to death many times. [IMG]http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc332/kushkemet08/268_Egypt_Tiye.jpg[/IMG] The bust above shows Queen Tiye sporting what archaeologists call the 'round hair' style. This gives no indication whatsoever that such was Tiye's natural hair or a wig. Most likely it was wig as such was the custom of elite and especially royal Egyptians who wore wigs due to shaving their heads or extensions. [IMG]http://picturestack.com/921/899/LBJPicture1Uv1.png[/IMG] The mummy of Tiye above shows her own hair, but several millennia old mummified hair gives little indication of what the hair looked like when the body was alive. And even then, such type of hair is not unusual for Africans. [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/24pxz0z.jpg[/IMG] Note that auburn hair is not uncommon for elderly Africans, and though Tiye wasn't elderly when she died, of course the hair itself aged after death. Lyinass b.s. productions flushed. :o [/QB][/QUOTE]
