[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] The point still stands that people will see whatever image in their minds of Nefertiti from the various works of art that depict her. And this isn't just about Nefertiti it is about ALL AE populations. Africans (not Afrocentrics) will see Africans in the AE art and culture (Africans across Africa to this day still do). Europeans will pick those images and data that supports their claim that the AE were "European" somehow as if Syrian or Babylonian migrants 5,000 years ago equals European. Make no mistake. Europeans who colonized Egypt and stole the artifacts were mostly racists and eugenicists and to this day have wanted and still want to use Egypt to justify their global conquest and domination. In their minds the AE had to be white in order to prove white supremacy. This isn't about facts. It is about race pride for the Europeans. But of course they will try and turn around and claim Africans are the racists. In the minds of many Europeans this is Nefertiti: [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b3/Nefertiti%2C_figlia_del_sole.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]The film follows the theory that Nefertiti was a princess of the Mitanni, sent to marry Pharaoh Amenhotep III, then taken by Akhenaten as his wife. The plot is based on the desire for an archaeologist to find a means revive himself several millennia after his death.[2][/QUOTE] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nefertiti,_figlia_del_sole And the plot of this movie is not far from what many European Egyptologists propose. And this matches the latest reconstruction that was done. And no these people don't think of Nefertiti or any other Ancient Egyptian royalty as being brown. Because in reality they look at ancient Egypt as a transplant from Eurasia. So folks should keep that in mind when these things come up. Transplants from Eurasia means white. It doesn't really even mean mixed to them. So this isn't even about what kinds of features are indigenous to Africa because most of these folks don't see the AE as African to begin with..... This has nothing to do with Afrocentrism. Europeans have been distorting Egyptian and African history since before Afrocentrism existed. And back to Nefertiti. Until we find her body nobody will know for sure what she looked like. The art won't help but it is not consistent. Art for Amenhotep and Tiye is more consistent than it is for Nefertiti.
