Why are you showing Black mummies in Europe instead of white mummies? Because there were NO white in ancientEgypt. Your reconstructed FACE is 100%+ Wrong. Your recontruction is going away from African. Why are you going from Europe to Africa to search for your roots?
Herodotus was a Greek, not a Roman historian. It would be as well to get that right. I suppose Takabuti is presented in the display with some dignity (as much as can be expected, she didn't anticipate our centuries of gawking) but it's probably as well to take the 'reconstructions' with a pinch of salt. A TV documentary mentioned her red hair as unusual for Egyptians, but in fact they died their hair with henna regularly, so one would wonder if she was indeed naturally red.
I don't know where they get these reconstructions from. The Reconstruction looks nothing like the mummy. Her chin doesn't match the rest of her face. Her eyes are too close together. They look beety her nose looks broad. Its like they just make what they think instead of looking at the mummy for clues. These reconstructions are horrible. Just horrible. That doesn't look like the mummy or an Ancient Egyptians. SHE looks like a man. The mummy looks African the bust doesn't
@madkeyra ...The reconstruction was done by computer imaging and archaeological forensics using scanners and resonance imaging, then CGI face mapping. I haven't visited the newly revamped museum yet, (I did some sound material for other exhibits),though I've seen Takabuti several times. I'm not sure why she looks African to you (she does seem to have a long foot) but there's no way to tell that just by looking. The experts claimed she had red hair, so may not have been Egyptian. Who knows?

The narrator has such a lovely speaking voice, ideal for the somber resonance of a museum, her choice of material making wonderful use of limited time. And, the writings of Herodotus of Halicarnassus do hold much of interest. Quite also intriguing is the story of what has happened to the mummy since leaving Egypt, showing how the daughter of Egypt may hold more lasting importance for us than she did during her lifetime.

That mummie looks much older and was a very dark person. The reconstructed head is not correct.
