Nefertiti bust 'a fake': expert
news.yahoo.com/s/afp/2009...gyptgermany

PARIS (AFP) – The bust of Queen Nefertiti housed in a Berlin museum and believed to be 3,400 years old in fact is a copy dating from 1912 that was made to test pigments used by the ancient Egyptians, according to Swiss art historian Henri Stierlin.

Stierlin, author of a dozen works on Egypt, the Middle East and ancient Islam, says in a just-released book that the bust currently in Berlin's Altes Museum was made at the order of German archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt by an artist named Gerardt Marks.

"It seems increasingly improbable that the bust is an original," Stierlin told AFP.

The historian said the archaeologist had hoped to produce a new portrait of the queen wearing a necklace he knew she had owned, and was also looking to carry out a colour test with ancient pigments found at the digs.

But on December 6, 1912, the copy was admired as an original work by a German prince and the archaeologist "couldn't sum up the courage to ridicule" his guest, Stierlin said.

The historian, who has been working on the subject for 25 years, said he based his findings on several facts. "The bust has no left eye and was never crafted to have one. This is an insult for an ancient Egyptian who believed the statue was the person themself."

He also said the shoulders were cut vertically in the style practised since the 19th century while "Egyptians cut shoulders horizontally" and that the features were accentuated in a manner recalling that of Art Nouveau.

It was impossible to scientifically establish the date of the bust because it was made of stone covered in plaster, he said.

"The pigments, which can be dated, are really ancient," he added.

Stierlin also listed problems he noted during the discovery and shipment to Germany as well as in scientific reports of the time.
French archaeologists present at the site never mentioned the finding and neither did written accounts of the digs. The earliest detailed scientific report appeared in 1923, 11 years after the discovery.

The archaeologist "didn't even bother to supply a description, which is amazing for an exceptional work found intact".

Borchardt "knew it was a fake," Stierlin said. "He left the piece for 10 years in his sponsor's sitting-room. It's as if he'd left Tutankhamen's mask in his own sitting-room."

Egypt has demanded the return of the bust discovered on the banks of the Nile since it went on display in 1923, depicting a stunning woman wearing a unique cone-shaped headdress.

One of Berlin's prime attractions it will move into its own hall at the newly renovated Neues Museum when it reopens to the public in October.

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.

  • One
    basic
    truth can
    be used as
    a foundation for
    a mountain of lies,
    and if we dig down deep
    enough into the mountain of lies,
    and bring out that truth, to set it on
    top of the mountain of lies; the entire
    mountain of lies will crumble under the weight of
    that one truth, and there is nothing more devastating to a
    structure of lies than the revelation of the truth upon which
    the structure of lies was built, because the shock waves of
    the revelation of the truth reverberate, and continue to
    reverberate throughout the earth for generations to
    follow, awakening even those
    people who had no
    desire to be
    awakened
    to the
    truth.

    Many of us are enslaved in our minds. It would be better to have chains on our feet and know who we are as spiritual people than to have chains on our minds. Western supremacy is perpetuated through our lack of our awareness, therefore, we need to know who we are and our True history.

    Our Afrikan ancestors gave God consciousness, astronomy, astrology, sciences, medicine, mathematics and more to the world. The ancient Afrikan's ability to thrive, create learning institutions, raise stable families, and instill cultural awareness still resides within us today. Yet, most times these characteristics are underdeveloped due to the miseducation of our minds and lack of self-esteem in which we are raised.

    The principles of Ma`at (harmony, balance, reciprocity, truth, justice, and righteousness) were the foundation of ancient social relationships and societies.
