19naia: It is known that great figures of ancient society would be entombed with many treasures and ornaments.. Also was the discovery of kings tombs with the mummies of people that were dispatched to join the deceased to serve him in the afterlife...
So maybe this womans case could have been similar but rather than her beloved join her, they cut pieces of themselves of to join her.. Of course hair is a painless part to cut off and also a very common gesture among people to keep memorabilia from each other...
If it was me, i would test the hair extensions to see if they were from 70 different people and then it may be likely they were memorabilia so as to send a part of themselves with her into the afterlife until they met again still long before any of us were born...

Or maybe she was just hair dressed for her funeral as any woman would for any very special occasion...

Tizak: Women! Displaying stupidity ignorance since 5000BC

ababanwoke: She reminds me of my crush,the great. Egyptian queen who has beauty and power"CLEOPATRA" her elaborate hair do too

kandiikane: Extensions were always part of our culture.

onyiwest: I believe that the hairstyle of the deceased woman was for her burial (ceremonial), and not one she wore in life.

Innovator90: Gullible black women! This is a well-engineered, crafted scheme by the mafias of a $10 billion industry to establish basis for why black women wear and should continue to wear extensions... to milk more $billions from them. I'm not an archaeologist but for an extension to withstand such a length of time - this is a thousand yrs older than so called Jesus - is highly questionable especially when some hard metals used during similar time have been practically irretrievable or recognizable by assayers. Don't tell it was due to mummification.

There is no word like " embalment"...simply doesn't exist. I mentioned "mummification" in my previous post; a specialized embalming procedure used by ancient Egyptians. If you clearly missed that, then there is no basis for me to debate this with you. It has nothing to do with climate; absolutely ZERO! I'm well read in Egyptology and Paleontology!

fairheven:
Lolz,I have read a lot about her deeds and life,I have watched movies showing her too,even if I haven't seen her before,I still have a crush on her because of her deeds,her deeds made her beautiful
Have u ever seen CLEOPATRA,as in do u know wt she looks like ,so how can u crush on her?

koyyes: It's baffling how supposed males pop out their veins from their neck and forehead over a woman's weave-on that brings no form of national threat to the African continent. Misplaced priorities indeed!

francleanflexy:
by saying 'our culture', what exactly do u mean ?

Onegai:

Bros, go read your Old Testament wella.

Poor Israeli women would not go around bedecked in jewels and updos, because they would need to carry water and goods. Wealthy ones (think David, Solomon their wives, their council chiefs and their wives) would dress nicely. They were expected to dress finely, to symbolise the wealth and power of Israel and Judah. Why would the Bible say, in reference to when they want to symbolise mourning and repentance in times of sorrow, that people wore "sackcloth"? That means that in normal times, they didn't.

If you want a simple girl, not a problem, lots exist. But don't try and distort the Bible to suit your opinions.

GooseBaba:

Guy it's not until you see bombs flying or famine in the land before you know that there is national threat to the African continent...

Inferiority complex and low self esteem has brought Africa to her knees. Ask yourself a simple question "what is wrong with natural Africa hair"? If the answer is nothing, then its fair to conclude that some foolish Africans associate beauty with hair that does not belong to their race.

It's quite sad that people don't see the big picture. Tell me which other race are eager to define their beauty by carrying African hair texture on their head..

We condem ourselves and wonder why we are at the bottom...
