The focus of the debate: Nefertiti's sculpture raises the issue of race and skin color in the second part.
Recently, taking the mummy of a young lady found in KV35 as the prototype, trying to reshape the face of this iconic beauty Nefertiti has aroused great excitement among Egyptian lovers all over the world.

They say it is an insult to show the origin of the ancient queen with superficial skin.

However, the people involved in the project insisted on their own position and claimed that it was a true portrait of King Tutankhamun's mother, and the bust was white because of the lighting in the studio.

Not many people believe these answers, and the jury has not reached the previous conclusion.

Reading the first part, this mummy's facial reconstruction sculpture is called "Young Lady", which is engraved with a real portrait of Nefertiti. Some scholars speculate that she is Tutankhamun's biological mother.

(Photo: Unknown Adventure of Travel Channel), February 6, 20 18, as part of the Unknown Adventure Program of Travel Channel, this program deeply explores the lives of three iconic women in ancient Egypt-Hatshepsut, Cleopatra and Nefertiti. Host Joshua Gates unveiled the reconstruction of this young lady.

The DNA test conducted on 20/10/10 confirmed that she was Tutankhamun's mother and the brother of the male mummy found in KV55 (Akhenaton).

Because of this, she is the daughter of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye.

"Because Tutankhamun's father is the Pharaoh of Okhenna, and Nefertiti is the great royal wife of Okhenna, this makes the mummy the prime candidate for Nefertiti herself," Joshua claimed, and he was not the only one in the controversial identification of the young lady's identity. This appraisal was put forward by Joann Fletcher, a professor at York University, in 2003. It was shot down by Dr Zahi Hawass, but it was obtained in cooperation with Dr Aidan Dodson, an expert from Amarna, a scientist team at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.

Using the latest laser imaging technology, the research team scanned the head and drew a digital map of the face, thus generating a 3D fingerprint.

One of the photos was handed over to a reconstruction expert, who used standard forensic data to construct a "living" head around the 3D fingerprint with clay according to the average meat thickness of key parts.

As a result, it was cast into a fleshy silicon wafer, added to the eyes, and finished with pigments, reflecting the whole process. Ai Lisha Bess revealed, "This project is very special and complicated.

I work closely with forensic paleopathologists and anthropologists to determine the exact depth of muscles, skin and soft tissues.

Everything is carefully calculated by hand.

It took more than 500 hours to make this bust.

Even jewelry is handmade by Dior designers.

The limestone specimen shows Nefertiti's head.

This photo of the Queen with her lips cut off was found in Amarna in the 1990s.

It has the symbolic characteristics of the Great Depression in Berlin.

(Photo: Osama Shukil mohamed amin ·FRCP(Glasgow)), Qi Wei once observed that Nefertiti's face "is a part of our culture, just like the photos of Ernesto Guevara, Einstein or Mona Lisa," and Dr. Joyce Tedsley provided an equally convincing evaluation. "She immediately.

She appeared on the page, on the stage, on the screen and in operas.

This persistent obsession is only the result of one thing: the lovely and mysterious bust of Nefertiti ... In view of this overwhelming flattery, when the reconstructed face of this young lady called "Nefertiti" is presented to the public all over the world, her eyebrows will naturally rise.

Netizens are very dissatisfied, and many people express their great dissatisfaction through Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms.

Instead of arousing people's awe, this bust caused a storm, because their beloved queen was portrayed as a nervous woman who looked like a "European tourist who spent her summer vacation in the Mediterranean".

In the past, the sculptor Eliza Bess had reshaped Tutankhamun's face, and she was most disgusted. The mummy of the "young lady" on the right is taken from KV35.

Over the years, experts have come up with various names to identify this person, from Neifer to Sitamon.

Wikimedia * * * likes it. (Photo: G. Elliott Smith), considering the young lady's age and poor preservation, the theory about her is inadequate, indirect and uncertain.

So not everyone is sure that the mummy used to make this face is Nefertiti.

Some chapters seem to want to say for sure that DNA has "proved" the relationship between some individuals in the Amana period, but it has proved to be very troublesome to extract DNA from Egyptian mummies. It is debatable whether the results are really as accurate as some people hope.

In the past ten years, many attempts have had different and vague results.

For decades, it has been thought that Nafititi disappeared from the records of Okhennathan's reign around 12, either because of death or because of falling out of favor.

But the discovery of graffiti in the battlefield of Del Elbel changed all this, because it proved that she was still alive as a queen when she was 16 years old.

Dr Aidan dodson firmly believes that this bust depicts Nefertiti. "This portrait is a proper forensic reconstruction by an expert engaged in this work.

As far as the accuracy of reconstruction is concerned, I have no way to judge it except by the high professional reputation of the sculptor involved.

Reconstruction is also to see if this mummy doesn't look like Nefertiti.

However, genetics is the key evidence: reconstruction is a secondary issue.

Various ancient expressions are not consistent in details-although the underlying skeleton structure is consistent with reconstruction.

At the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, dodson put forward his argument as to why he thought this young lady was Nefertiti. "Okhengnatan and Nefertiti's children have no male children in Amarna's tomb, and they should never think that they have no such offspring.

These theories are based on strong indirect evidence, because among the individuals actually named in archaeological records, there are no obvious candidates except Nefertiti.

In this case, the young lady is genetically Tutankhamun's mother.

Genetically speaking, she is either Tutankhamun's father's sister (although I know some people disagree, she is generally believed to be Ahnatun) or Tutankhamun's cousin (after the marriage of the first three representatives).

Because we don't have any evidence that Okhennathan has a sister wife, and there is a credible reconstruction that makes Nefertiti such a cousin, I support her.

At the same time, he also rejected Kea as a possible candidate.

Dr. Marianne Eaton Kraus noticed that the silence of Nefertiti's parents in historical records was compared with the repeated references to Queen Til's parents. She wanted to know, "What if one of Amenhotep III's daughters changed her name to Nefertiti after becoming the spouse of Okhennatan? However, if Nefertiti is really Amenhotep III's daughter and Okhennathan's sister (and/or Smonka? The titles of the king's daughter and the king's sister have disappeared from her constitution, which will be noteworthy because she has a large number of documents.

The three daughters of Pharaoh Okhennathan attended a ceremony, and they were carved on the wall of Amana's tomb.

Except for sporadic examples, until the beginning of19th century, princes were not usually depicted as works of art..

Dr Aidan dodson is about to release a new edition of Sunset in Amana. He plans to write an independent book about Nefertiti, which will also involve facial reconstruction. He denied that the bust was pale and almost white. "Under the lighting of the studio, this bust may not look like it, but in fact, this skin color suits modern Egyptian women.

Berlin bust is very light-skinned. Dr Raymond Johnson, a famous Egyptian scientist, explained the problems of race and skin color. "Since the beginning of human history, Egypt has always been the gateway to the African continent, but it is also the main way to return to the African continent.

The population of Egypt has always been a mixture of European and African races, which is also reflected in the Egyptian court and royal harem.

Many of Amenhotep III's wives have foreign wives from Egyptian and Mediterranean countries, including Caucasians, but he is definitely mixed-race, and so is Queen Tiye.

We can never determine the color of the princess's skin, but as a child of Amenhotep III and Tiye, she is definitely not pure white.

Brown skin color may more truly reflect the individual and her age.

"The facial reconstruction of the young mummy lady is based on the 3D copy of the head next to KV35 on the digital map.

(Photo: Adventure of Travel Channel Unknown) Dylan Bickerstaff, a British Egyptian archaeologist, objected to those who saw Nefertiti's "European style" bust. "I was surprised to see people complain that this portrait is too' white' ... darker than the bust in Berlin.

It is true that Egypt is a mixed-race people-the color of the population in Egypt is very different at present-but is there any evidence that Amenhotep III is of black descent? Is there any evidence that the foreign queen is the king's mother? Many people think that "Egyptians are black" (because Egyptians are black! They silently pass on any evidence to the contrary.

Not only the skin of Nefertiti's bust is pale, so is Nefertiti's mausoleum, and there are a lot of descriptions in the tombs of the New Kingdom.

"Egyptians have no qualms about depicting their neighbors with various skin colors (for example, the Nubians in Beit Valli have three different dark colors, and the range described for foreigners in the tomb of Rechmir).

As for the reconstruction of the discussion, a compromise is to adopt a darker tone than the Great Depression in Berlin (now some people call it "black").

The real reason why most people oppose reconstruction is that she is too poor and not beautiful enough.

I repeat-all our impressions of Nefertiti are idealized or abstract exercises in the extreme stage of Amana's art.

But the Egyptian archaeologist Dr. steve harvey said that we should give up the old discussion about race.

It is best to exclude a pseudoscience category. The bust of Berlin is just one of many distinct images of Naftiti.

These are all works of art, so they really can't be used as a benchmark for close comparison with human remains, no matter what the way of argument is.

The main objection raised by some scholars and enthusiasts is that the reconstruction team did not claim that it was a young lady's face, but claimed that the bust was a true portrayal of Nefertiti, and put the same flat-topped crown and matching jewelry on her.

To make matters worse, it is said that the artist Ai Lisha Beth imitated the lower part of the sculpture with her face! The head of a limestone or calcite statue may be Pharaoh Ai-some people think he is Nefertiti's father.

The Urals of the royal family were probably added after the completion.

Sophia Aziz, who specializes in ancient Egyptian medicine, said: "It must be very difficult to rebuild from a mummy.

During mummification, the nasal bones will be damaged, and the eyes and eyebrows will collapse.

In fact, a closer look at this reconstructed photo reveals that she really looks like a mummy.

I respect all the efforts of this project, but it looks too much like a collapsed mummy face injected with fillers/Botox.

How can anyone think that this young lady appeared like this? Details of a block from Amana to Talata show that Nefertiti is with her eldest daughter Meritaten.

Some people also say that this is Kea and her name, daughter D.

However, these exercises by world-class experts make people question the methods they use to achieve accuracy.

Not long ago, experts reshaped Tutankhamun's face in at least three different ways.

If they all see the same craniofacial structure and use similar techniques, why are their versions completely different? Russian Egyptologist Victor sorkin mentioned this when talking about the new bust. "It was a huge mistake to create a portrait of Nefertiti with a high blue crown.

This will cause more media confusion about the Queen.

Tutankhamun's face is an example, showing how different the results of this reconstruction are.

So, for me, this is just another version, and even from its impression, it is quite ugly.

This elegant and translucent cup is made of travertine (Egyptian alabaster) in the shape of white lotus.

It is engraved with the names of Amundhotep IV and Queen Nefertiti, indicating that the ship must have been built five years before the king changed his name to Okhennathan.

Sophia Aziz of the Metropolitan Museum of Art explained why the reconstruction was not up to standard.

This is an external laser image of the mummy's head, which explains why the reconstruction is not accurate.

Janet David, a famous Egyptian forensic doctor, quoted her past experience in reconstructing the face of ancient Egypt and said, "Yes, I saw a handheld scanner. Its inherent problem is to obtain a reliable image of the lying body.

A CT scanner and visualization workstation, such as SIEMENS Syngo-Vis, will provide accurate data to confirm that the forensic facial reconstruction of the young lady's mummy is a "beautiful job". Raymond Johnson believes that "the narrow skull, sunken eyes and triangular chin reconstructed by forensic doctors are beautiful, but they are definitely not like Nefertiti's portrait.

"All this makes people wonder: If Nefertiti's mummy has been identified, why spend millions of dollars to follow up the KV62 double burial theory put forward by Dr. Nicholas Reeves on 20 15?
