Why Are Most Sculptures In Egypt With Broken Or Missing Noses? Many misconceptions that come after the question, “Why are most Egyptians sculptures with missing or broken noses?” pop up often lead to disagreement. In ancient Egypt, statues are held of great honor, either god, goddess, a wealthy, or a legendary figure. Statues are believed to be a close contact or medium of contact with the figure used on the statue. Egypt is blessed with great artistic prowess in making carvings. Seeing most of these carvings now with broken noses has brought up questions about wear and tear, religious reasons, or a hidden conspiracy. Many believe erosion will be the reason for the missing noses. Archeologists point out that harsh winds, rainfalls, and dunes that have met these sculptures can damage delicate parts of these artworks... continue reading �https:///2YIV5ZJ

They were destroyed by Alexander the great because he couldn't fathom how such piece came about abd so want it to lose face value. |

BuchiPrinzy: They were knocked off because the racist western system which now portrays Egypt as a white or yellow civilization, wishes to keep hiding the truth from the world, about the black man's great ancient history and majesty. In 1782 a French philosopher and historian named Count Constantine de Volney, visited Egypt and said this: “All the Egyptians,” wrote de Volney, “have a bloated face, puffed-up eyes, flat nose, thick lips — in a word, the true face of the mulatto. I was tempted to attribute it to the climate, but when I visited the Sphinx, its appearance gave me the key to the riddle. On seeing that head, typically Negro in all its features....” In 2012, the Laboratory called DNA Tribes, released the DNA results of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and Pharaoh Tutankhamen. They lived around 1300 and 1400 B.C. The results showed that they had the same DNA as people from Great Lakes and the Southern Africa( Near Uganda.) This is DNA evidence showing that the Ancient Egyptians were black African people. The pictures on the tombs and statues show that the Ancient Egyptians looked like Black Africans See the thread ''Tomb Art From Egypt - A Black African Civilization'' https://www.nairaland.com/326177/tomb-art-ancient-egypt-black 2 Likes |

shaneroberts26: Lol. All you hoteps are funny. Look at the sculptures in the photo. From the bridge of their noses and the stumps, you can still get a very good idea of what the noses looked like. If the noses were intentionally cut off to hide the 'fact' that they were flat, the cutters didn't do a good job. 2 Likes |
