      @Albeit Einschtien I think she should change her hair also. Just like the heathen changed the color of the Africans to this caucasian. Cleopatra was not white and that was not her name. Read and KNOW 1 Maccabees 3:48. But start from the beginning and understand why this book was removed from the Bible. A story of your dark history of raping, pillaging, hanging, every deplorable thing that you can imagine, conquering, and the whitewashing of mine

The Christians I grew up with hated and feared strong female leaders. Any woman that challenged their patriarchal society was labelled, shamed and ostracized. They called us sluts, witches, crazy, lazy, stinky, stupid, weird, and lesbians.

      Enter "Nefertiti Joann Fletcher" in the youtube search area. It's really good, and Hawass is an ass. Joann is certain she discovered Nefertiti's tomb, Hawass said "Oh no you din't!!!" ... he was a big bully and banned her from doing any more research in Egypt, then he "left" his post and the ban was lifted.

    I had a manager who named her daughter Isis long before the terrorist group was a thing. And not enough kids know Egyptian mythology and only know about the terrorist group.
