This is what scholars did several years ago in the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir. They applied it to the statue of a prominent individual from the era of the Fifth Dynasty called “Ra Nefer – rꜥ nfr, and his name means “beautiful Ra”.
Refer was the high priest of the god Ptah in Memphis. He found a wonderful mastaba in Saqqara in 1860 AD. We found two statues that scientists used in this exciting experiment to verify the accuracy of Egyptian sculpture.
What is the experience?
Two statues of Ranefer were found in the cemetery, one of them wearing a short-haired wig and appearing in an official form, and the other showing his natural appearance and short hair.
From here, the scientists made a wig like the one worn by Ranefer in his statue in the official body and put it on the statue in which he appears with his natural hair and took many photographic shots from all angles and sides. Difference between them.
When they were found, the two statues were not established by the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, so they were preserved in the museum in that period, which is the Bulaq Museum. Soon, the two statues moved to the Egyptian Museum after its construction to decorating the Old State Hall corridor. Enjoy the pictures
Some believe that the two statues show him in his youth and the beginning of life, and the other shows him at the end of his career after a life full of achievements! Whatever is right, we are talking about the sculpture, and the experiment made for the two statues.
