[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: the point is you have two very different versions of Nefertiti. One looking blatantly African and the other looking more "non African". [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/Queen_Nefertiti%2C_Limestone_relief.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://images2.imgbox.com/67/9e/MgsiZDQK_o.png[/IMG] (enlargement detail of previous) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Relief_of_Queen_Nefertiti_MET_47.57.1_EGDP020948.jpg [/QUOTE]"blatantly African" as compared to African but not blatantly? The piece above is highly distorted. A human being cannot look like that so this piece can't be considered. Some Amarna art is realistic. Other Amrana art is highly stylized and unrealistic with exaggerated features. Above we have an impossible skull shape [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: So the question becomes which is accurate? Why display a foreigner with African features if she wasn't African at all? [/QUOTE]Because there is a wide diversity of features in Africa and in addition not everything is one or the other. Something could be half of one half of the other [IMG]https://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/4859d8c0-031b-4f1b-a02b-c7fb3278eb17/39841_medium.jpg[/IMG] ^^ this person is half European [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: No other royal in Egyptian art has so many different depictions that are so drastically different. [/QUOTE]what you are saying is not true. Try going back over all the Akhenaten art in this thread. Then move on to Ramses II [IMG]https://images2.imgbox.com/de/70/jLEhNPAN_o.png[/IMG] Rameses II [IMG]https://d1lfxha3ugu3d4.cloudfront.net/images/opencollection/objects/size2/11.670_SL1.jpg[/IMG] Ramses II [IMG]http://www.crystalinks.com/ramses2london.jpg[/IMG] Ramses II [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: Most other depictions of Egyptian royals are so consistent that even without any name on it you can tell who it is. This is the only case in Egyptian art where you have such drastically different depictions of the same person. [/QUOTE]Simply not true. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: And ultimately the issue is that Europeans will obviously be attracted to the Berlin bust because it looks like them. While the African looking images of Nefertiti will be held up by Africans as proof she was African. This isn't rocket science. Of course there was only person named Nefertiti and until we find and positively identify her remains we may never know ultimately her origins.

They have several and including Akhenaten and Tutankhamun. This is Nefertiti. Below the exact same Nefertiti piece in side view next to the famous one. You will notice the same black marks behind the cheek and thin line across the neck >> [IMG]https://images2.imgbox.com/66/83/Dk4QDHEB_o.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
