The glamorous face of Queen Nefertiti, who could have been the mother of King Tutankhamun, has been brought to life using the latest 3D imaging technology.

It took 500 hours to recreate the bust and the jewellery was even handcrafted by designers from Dior.

However, the colour of the 3,400-year-old queen's skin has raised controversy with people claiming she would not have been so fair in real life.

"Why the long face, Neffie?"
"You'd have a long face too, if you found out
one if your descendants is John F'in Kerry."
"I see what you mean."

[Leep]

Wasn’t there some deformity due to incest?

[dforest]

I think that is the gal with dark hair on FOX news channel.

Julie Banderas.

[nickcarraway]

Isn’t that the British royal family?

[Mr. Blond]

And actual DNA testing had the audacity to show that Egyptians WEREN’T BLACK.

[Leep]

Them too.
Big eared buck tooth slobbering idiots.
But I digress.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Just because it’s Africa, doesn’t mean everyone has to be black.

[jjotto]

Isn’t there some DNA evidence that ancient Egyptians had less sub-Saharan African ancestry than current Egyptians?

I take it that would mean ancient Egyptians were lighter skinned than current Egyptians.

The mummy had a heck of a hairlip..

The Pharaoh told her to shut up,
but she thought he said, “Stand up.”

From the article:
“The Valley of the Kings in upper Egypt is one of the country’s main tourist attractions, situated next to the Giza pyramid complex.”

Poorly written/researched - as the Giza complex is many dozen miles to the north next to Cairo in Lower Egypt.

Also the reconstruction does have a faint resemblance to the bust - but the reconstructed hag is hardly beautiful. Perhaps she is the mother of the real Nefertiti?

And what’’s with this constant black crap anyway? How to ruin history in easy lessons - make it political.

[P.O.E.]

[Avalon Memories]

Looks a little like Elizabeth Taylor in "Cleopatra."

[Vermont Lt]

That looks like a pretty European face.

[SkyPilot]

The Black Studies crowd that insists the Egyptians were really black are going to have a cow over this.

That crowd attempts to perpetuate the myth that the Egyptians were really sub-Saharan Africans (racially speaking).

When confronted with the fact that Ramses II mummy proves he had red hair, they will shout you down.

Trust me on this.

[Sirius Lee]

If only there were artists around at the time to capture her likeness. Oh wait, there were.

[mass55th]

I remember when they tried to claim that Cleopatra was black.

[Tax-chick]

It is suggested that his ancestors had red hair as well. A couple of pharaohs in that dynasty were named Sethi or Seti, referring to the destructive god Set(h), who was depicted in artworks with red hair.

[Lazamataz]

I’d hit it.
