These statues, or Shabti, (above) were excavated from the ruins of the
city that King Akhenaten built (circa. 1337 BC) to practice a new religion
that held that all life, all creation stemmed from one source -- the power
behind the sun. The statues are sculptures of princesses who were part
of Akhenaten's court. If these statues depict what most--or some--of the
people looked like before, during and after Akhenaten's reign, then why
do Eurocentric scholars persist in trying to make a case for people of
European extraction dominating ancient Egypt?
