Is this Nefertiti? Two months ago, a team of Egyptologists led by British scientist Joann Fletcher of the University of York announced that a neglected mummy collecting dust in a nondescript tomb was actually that of ancient Egypt's most famous female ruler.

This image shows a computer reconstruction of what is believed to be the face of Nefertiti.

In an effort to confirm her identity, two British experts have applied their forensic skills to digital X-rays of the skull. (Related graphic: Reconstructing Nefertiti)

Neither Damian Schofield of Nottingham University nor Martin Evison of Sheffield University knew in advance the identity of their "victim." They specialize in reconstructing human faces from skulls for murder cases in which the victim is unknown.

Schofield and Evison created a 3-D computer mesh of the skull, then placed a series of markers to designate where tissue would be added. Next, they added facial muscles to give the face its full depth and contour. Finally, a graphic artist added skin texture, eye color, lips and the crown.

Nefertiti: Her life and death

Nefertiti married Pharaoh Akhenaten while still a teen or perhaps a pre-adolescent. Hieroglyphs depict her demure as the young bride.
But during the reign of Akhenaten, she grew more powerful. Both king and queen were hated for forcing the long-reigning Amun priest class into the unemployment line.
The king died under suspicious circumstances. Nefertiti died three years later of unknown causes.






Schofield and Evison say the reconstruction does not prove the skull belongs to Nefertiti. But they were surprised at the similarities with Nefertiti's bust, which was made during her lifetime and is displayed at the Egyptian Museum in Berlin.

Says Fletcher: "I was bowled over by it, to be honest. The face is that of a very strong individual indeed. She has such a beautiful profile. She is stunning."

Nefertiti's image is one of the most popular today from ancient Egypt. But the real queen was hated by Egyptian society after her reign ended. An unusually powerful queen, she reigned with her husband, Akhenaten, who ruled from 1352 to 1336 B.C., during the late 18th dynasty. Nefertiti may have ruled as pharaoh for three years after his death.

Nefertiti vanished from Egyptian history with no trace of a royal tomb or evidence of a burial.


Yes, it is her! It's amazing how white Man refuses to accept that his ancestry is vested within our own!

Looks like Iman in "Remember the Time."

Beautiful! Stong powerful face.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!

I was so excited about this being on the Discovery Channel...I waited for a month to see it!
I agree that it's her and that so many of the modern Egyptologists (including the head Egyptologist in EGYPT) are denoucing this. They say it is not Nerfertiti...but, how can they deny so much evidince? The leading Egyptian scientist said that he wants to wait until science advances to be able to decide if it's her or not...I just think that he doesn't want to give the credit to a woman for figuring it out.

Um...it was a white woman who discovered this...also, there are many Egyptian scientists who do not believe it's her. Don't even try to turn this into a racial thing

white, black...all wrong, they looked like present day egyptians...i.e. Arab

Ardeo said:

Yes, you're right!

I hate when people try to turn these things into racial things...it's a wonderful discovery...(which I pray is true) no matter what color you are.

I saw this.. Beautiful, powerful woman.

This woman could break a lot of hearts.

and balls

Natsume said:

:LOL: It does

Ardeo said:

Does that refer to her physically or having the guts to rule in a man's world?

Paisley said:

I think she's more beautiful than Iman (not that I don't think Iman is beautiful...)

Yup. Iman is a babe and gets to fuck David Bowie...but Nefertiti...Oooomph!!

I adored the "Nefertiti Resurrected" special sooo much. She was the first female president. I say it's time we had another one...who's with me??
