Don’t Mess With My Homey Akhe

 

1. Does anybody else think that statue of Akhenaten looks like Obama?

2. Nah, his nose isn’t far enough in the air.

   Now to be fair, I gotta admit the man has suggested that the only way to actually get any *evidence* to back up his theory be tried. I gotta give him that, he’s not just making the bald assertion and asking it to be accepted, he wants to see if it can be proven.

   However Drew, you make a good point. Given the nature of ancient Egyptian social/custom attitude towards their pharaohs, it is at least as likely that the only part of the artwork of him that is even *close* to accurate is the face. The ‘One God’ of Egypt could reasonably be expected to have both male and female aspects, at least in terms of how the people perceived him.

   But even if he did have this condition that gave him actual physical aspects of femininity, what of it? The stories of Hatshepsut and Cloepatra show pretty conclusively that their Queens weren’t people you wanted to mess with either.
