[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [qb] [QUOTE][b]This is not at all what Lamin said. What he's suggesting is that European Egyptologists, Nubiologists and excavators collectively conspired to go to work with patches of wavy hair in their backpockets, ready to glue it onto any mummified head in sight.[/b][/QUOTE]You can do better than that. LOL. Just cite where I write what you cite. The point is that the AE pharaohs and royalty all had artists and sculptors gazing at their features for hours on end so the assumption is that must have accurately portrayed them. So when the murals and sculptures of certain figures are at variance with what the grave robbers come up with, one must be circumspect in analysis. After all, there is proof of the dubious methods of mainstream Western media organs like NG which has consistently and brazenly misrepresented the AEs. Then there was that ridiculous attempt to re-portray Tut even when the "boy-King" is known by his several hundred representations. There are many other cases involving the sneaky reconstruction of the facial features of broken or damaged AE sculptures. The same is done even more sneakily in their relentless efforts to reintroduce Seligman's "Hamitic hypothesis" by way of arcane not-easily-checked genetic analysis. [/qb][/QUOTE][IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-28-38.png[/IMG] lamin doesn't understand the differences between a mummy with shrunken dehydrated skin is not going to look exactly like the form of the living person. This is particularly on the fleshier parts, the lips and nose tip As we can these the mummy is indeed prognothic. The nose's bone structure as I had mentioned could be disrupted by the mummification process when the brain is extracted through the nose by pulling it out with narrow tools through the nasal passage in pieces. That could account for the bend. -also the bend on Rameses II mummy , [IMG]http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2516/5783485515_abb3fc74e9_z.jpg[/IMG] ^^^^^ note the nose bridge is not that flat either. If you look at the whole bulge for the eye each eye looks like it would be the size of a tennis ball, too large to be natural ^^^^ For anybody who thinks this is a fake version of the sculpture's actual color I provide the following: [IMG]http://wysinger.homestead.com/tiy.jpg[/IMG] ^^^ Here, Indstead of daylight conditions the same sculpture photgraphed in a dark gallery with a light on it ( you can see the sharper shines of light) The photo was then edited on to a new white background. Dejeshootme considers this more accurate in color so if you prefer you can refer to this one for color. >Also notice the ear notch provided in the wig on the sculpture ^^^ this wooden head is several inches in tall (other photos include the very tall feather on top of the head) is this sculpture definative on how she actually looked? I don't know . The eyes seem unaturally large Other Tiye sculptures [IMG]http://watermarked.heritage-images.com/2362212.jpg[/IMG] Relief head of Queen Tiye, wife of Amenhotep III, 18th dynasty, 1386-1340 [IMG]http://www.globalegyptianmuseum.org/images/EMC/_400/19604_800x800[1].jpg[/IMG] QUEEN TIYE Present location EGYPTIAN MUSEUM [01/001] CAIRO EM Inventory number JE 38257 Dating AMENHOTEP III/AMENOPHIS III/NEBMAATRE Archaeological Site SARABIT EL-KHADIM [/QB][/QUOTE]
