Description
Last year I was at Oudaen, a city castle at Utrecht, Netherlands which now is a crowdy hotspot for party people. I was dining near the window in the corner with hundreds of people around me but a single cat was lying quietly by the window. I took a picture and in the back of my mind this cat lingered on, waiting to pop out as a motif for an art work. Since I am quite fond of cats and believe cats to function as portals to different dimensions and the afterlife, combined to working on my new Egypt project on Bettie Page, I experimented with some sceneries relating to the subject.

My favourite on your Egyptian series! It seems like the ruins of Karnak, in the background... The queen Nefertiti's neck is so sexy and elegant! Did you know that ancient Egyptians were geneticaly related to Greeks and Anatolians, instead of Africans, as schollars thought before? That is a recent discovery made, after testing many Egyptian mummies. Read: www.wired.co.uk/article/ancien…

Hello Fereydoun, Thanks! Yes I read that, perhaps not the nubian pharaos but I know Cleopatra was of Macedonia descendance.

Yes, Corné, obviously Cleopatra was of Caucasian descendence, as she was the last queen of the Ptolemaic Dynasty (305 to 30 BC). However, the amazing thing on those discoveries is that pre-Ptolemaic members of Egyptian dysnasties (before 305 BC) were not of Negroid and not even Semitic origins. Scholars always thought they should have been.
