Yeah, I didn't want to say that in the off chance the psoul came across this.
I wonder if malpractice suits cover these quacks!

Quote:
In his new book, How Rome Fell, Adrian Goldsworthy has a photograph of a Germanic skull that has been elongated to such an extreme it looks like the skull of an Alien (from the movie of the same name). Goldsworthy believes it was done on purpose as a mark of distinction. Had never herd of this before, nor do I know how many such skulls have been found. Strange...

I read about this some time back in the Germanic context. What I cannot recall is where, and whether it was in a novel, such as the Emperor series about Caesar, or if it was in ceasars commentaries...or perhaps a previous Goldsworthy book.

£200,000! Just think of all the worthy projects that could have been funded with that! Enough to create and support a splendid Ancient Egypt web resource for years.

Yeah, or something wacky like educations for her children! Including a trip to Egypt, perhaps? Oh, well, she's loose in the gene pool, now...

I'd demand a refund.

Demanding a refund is one thing.
Getting the doctors to return your face to the original look...that's going to be a little tougher...

These plastic surgery-addicted people are just nuts- and then they cry on TV about how painful it is or how someone screwed up and they look like Egyptian mummies now or whatever- sheesh.
And the Egyptians were doing the head 'elongation' thing 3000 years ago or more- but I've seen it suggested to be a wooden frame device, so those crazies were really serious LOL

I have my own "impression" of Nefertiti...

No, I'm not serious haha!But I do love Ancient Egyptian history and culture very, very much!
Love doing the eyeliner thingy... although I prefer the modern cat shape to the elongated shape...
Ah! My sister sent me that story.. I think she looks okay with the crown but not in real life...
That actress in the Michael Jackson video looks so much closer to Nefertiti than she does...
As to whether she really is the reincarnation.. maybe? Who can really say...
It's just like all those women (and celebs) who try to look like Marilyn Monroe.

The skull deformation by binding was apparently originally a Hunnic custom from whence it may have passed to the Ostrogoths..........
