[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] The folks who used the younger ladies skull are probably following folks like Joanne Fletcher who claimed that the mummy was Nefertiti. But that isn't the important piece. The important piece is that many claimed at one point Nefertiti herself was Syrian or "foreign" based on that one so-called bust which most agree was fake. Especially when you consider all the other "amarna style" art from the period which look NOTHING like that. Then you got Amenhotep III and Tiye who are so blatantly black African that the only way they could come up with a justification for a white Nefertiti is by inserting some kind of foreign ancestry into the Amerna family somehow. Maybe some Syrian harem girl or some other foreign harem girl had a baby with Akhenaton. Or maybe Amenhotep III had babies with some foreign Harem girl who made it into the royalty of Amarna. All of these are the theories that some folks obsess over in order to justify such images of nefertiti. But at the end of the day this proves even they acknowledge that white skin like that was not common to Egypt at the time which is why they are talking up foreign ancestry so much. And this goes across most dynasties. This is why they are so obsessed with talking up "foreign" features in certain mummies. And the reconstruction just shows clearly when they think of Egyptians they mean white, not mixed or brown at all. [/QB][/QUOTE]
