Hey guys.....
I've noticed most of the mummy's shown seem to have almost bone straight hair sometimes even blonde. I have rarely seen a mummy with kinky/nappy hair. The the Ancient Greek/Roman scholars described them as having whooly hair then shouldn't we see more mummies with this hair type particularly the mummy's of the Old Kingdom. I haven't been able to find any Old Kingdom Egyptian mummies with this hair type. Thnx
