That is pathetic.

I think I found who they hired as the artist. Probably the same person who did this

Maybe the artist sculpted it while his eyes were closed.

Still better than I could do. :|

It's just a modern interpretation but we still have the original. Hope it doesn't face revisionism and is thrown out, being replaced solely with what is new and modern with the claim that's the only possible way Nefertiti could have looked. The ancients who were alive when she was got it all wrong. What could they possibly know?

The more modern someone is, the more they know about history, so it seems.

From the history I've read online this Berlin Bust was discovered in the actual craftman's workshop of Nefertiti's time. I've also read that she was half Asian and looking at the eyes and cheekbones this bust seems to support that.

The dark mascara would make any woman's eyes look "Asian" - and ancient Egyptians were known to use those.

+1 for the art critics! It was removed for ugly!

What I want to know, replaced with a Peace Dove, does it look like a Duck?
