Historical data reveals an accurate record of events in time, and the Egyptians gave us the oldest historical document, known as Narmer’s Palette in Pre-Dynastic Egypt, and even paved the way for master minds of the Greek civilization, like the Greek father of history himself, Herodotus. Although Herodotus trained at the School of On in Ancient Egypt, the notion of his motivations to include heresay and slander about the daughter of Pharaoh Khufu, Princess Nefertiabet is worth pondering. This paper exposes the unfounded slander of Princess and High Priestess Nefertiabet, postulated by Herodotus, and based on politics, theocratic rivalry, and international political defamation. Finally, there will be an analysis of a bead-net dress that was excavated from a tomb in the 4th Dynasty at the Giza Necropolis, Ancient Egypt, which must have been worn by Princess Nefertiabet herself, stands as another hypothesis expressed and sought after in this textual composition

This double sided (Obverse and Reverse) Palette is rich with theocratic social, political, military, ethnological and religious symbolism on both sides of its surface (figure 3). Most notable, though, is the misrepresented iconography of Het-Heru (Hathor), and this essay closely examines this goddess’ role in the context of this Palette.

This applied Art History research paper will address the history of life on Earth in a series of illustrative paintings. Since there is a time line _ The History of Life on Earth Graphic _ used as the foundation and structure of the series, this research
will entail a better sense of what each evolutionary stage is and means. Each stage will have its own description to help the overall concept and perhaps give me a better direction as to what exactly I will be painting. For research, I have looked through books, websites, documents, videos, documentaries and scientific and biological art from other artists. These references are crucial to help me develop a better picture and influence my own style in some way. To better document my research and creative process, I am using a sketch book almost daily to record my thoughts, preliminary illustrations, research guides, terminology, and biological definitions. The image development will be more defined once a preliminary sketch is devised and selected. Each stage in the history of life on earth will have its own painting.

This is an exposure of uncovering the White supremacist blindfold that currently dominates and previously dominated society utilizing visual culture such as Black African art relics spanning from pre-dynastic Egypt to 1924 with the display of the Europeanized queen Nefertiti High Hat Bust in the Neues Berlin Island Museum in Germany. Furthermore, educational concepts like multiculturalism, social justice, comparative analysis, and relative timeline analysis are utilized to discern the truth in an objective manner. The legendary social experiment in the classroom by Jane Elliot is a testament that CRT practices in the classroom is effective. Eradicating the root of racism with the exposure of truth in art history teachings can help move society in a positive direction for all.

currently exhibited at the Berlin Neues Island Museum as a modern fraud. Several factors
back up this claim such as the fact that the discoverer, Ludwig Borchart created a carving of
plaster of paris that covered the original limestone bust which was made by the royal
sculptor, Thutmose. A major point in this composition is the examination of the forty
depictions of queen Nefertiti as a black African woman showcasing African facial features.
The queen Nefertiti high hat bust at the Neues Berlin Island Museum does not represent the
African beauty standard that these other forty depictions of her showcase and is instead
Europeanized. The way the bust was handled in the first ten years of its discovery is worth
analyzing because Ludwig Borchardt and James Simon didn’t want the bust to be publicly
presented. Furthermore, surrounding ancient Egyptian artworks like Narmer’s palette
and the princess Nefertiabet Stele has been included in this paper to elucidate the real
origins of ancient Egypt which can be said to be black African. In conclusion, the queen
Nefertiti high hat bust that was created by Ludwig Borchardt is a white supremacist modern
fraud and the film, Django Unchained (2012), fully support this view which was presented
in 2009 by two internationally successful art historians and historians in response to the Berlin
Egyptology Museum commissioned CT scans to resolve this authenticity controversy.

Undergarments can be viewed as a necessary invention for several reasons, but for women especially, these articles of clothing meet a functional and leisurely need. In the history of costume, underwear seems to be a fixed mainstay staple throughout most of modern historical time periods. The beauty of the subject of panties in particular lies in the fact that it is a multi-functional piece of clothing that serves to hold items in place and, at the same time, helps the woman fulfill an intimate role. Additionally, there is a utility of panties for day and night, as seen with the incorporation of lingerie with the French. The aim of this paper is to historically investigate the evolutionary role of panties and pierce into the notions of its function. Specifically, a new perspective on the function of the panties will be introduced in this paper by looking into the cultures of Ancient Egypt and the American Navajo women and compare that to the heavy use of underwear during Victorian times
