There is a wooden statue of Nebe-ta and she was really dark. You can see it in my channel

LOL. Black people on pedestals....Where they belong. Ancient Egypt!

mY POINT is that the statues were obviously originally painted brown. Many painted statues displayed in museums have not necessarily been repainted, bgut the paint has faded. IF these were repainted they would have covered up the brown paint everywhere.

Your point ?

[KushaDwipa]

The brown paint is in fact still left around their. No need to assume it was repainted since the paint has obviously faded off. On the other hand some tomb paintings have definitely been repainted pink and other fair colors by museums in New York . And of course we can all now look at what has been disovered about the bust of Nefertiti.

Since Kemet-Nu let down their guards the Indo-European has NOT stoped the STEALING and DEFACING of Afrikan history.....European Americans tampered with the sisters SKIN TONE to cater to their smallness???.....Criminaly painting the statures white doesnt change the fact that Europeans are criminals.
