it's pretty nuts to ignore how her actual hair looked as a mummy and assume a carving of her is a more accurate depiction.
Mummies are dead remains that have been exposed to the elements for thousands of years. Hardly reliable indicators of how the person looked while living. The way Queen Tiye was depicted while she was alive is far more predictive of what she looked like. Nonetheless it's really yalls ignorance of black hair that has yall confused.
When black people untwist our braids the hair can look straight for a period of time before it returns to its natural rigidity. Same thing happens when we apply water. If you were to take black hair when it's in a straightened state and you apply oils and butter then you can get something like this from afro textured hair.

I know black hair is confusing to non-black people but our hair can transform into many different states based on how wet or dry it is. Also dependant on your curl pattern. If you have a loose curl pattern like the black woman above you can see how her hair can look straight like Queen Tiye in one photo and curly in the next. Also give those curls a few more days without water and oil and they can be brushed up into an afro.
To a non-black person Queen Tiye's hair might look non-African when it's straightened. But to a black person we know that her hair is black cause we can get the same texture when our braids are out.
I'm the ignorant one? You have to be trolling.
definitely trolling - mummies are "hardly reliable indicators of how someone looked" but a carving is. got it.
Dead remains are not as accurate as living portraits. With that said, your main is her hair texture. And I've already proven that hair texture is common among black women in her region. Also it shows your ignorance of black hair if you don't know how our hair can transform based on when we apply water and oil versus when it's dry versus when it's been in braids and twisted out.
Any black person can get straight looking hair after we unbraid our hair and apply a wet agent like oil or water. My hair looks straight everytime after a shower. But give it a few hours with no oil applied and I get a curly Afro. Give it a few days of no oil or water and the curls become nappy.
That's just the nature of black hair. It's more versatile than caucasian hair which does not change as dynamically based on dryness levels.

They had braids! Obviously black!
The only cultures with traditions of hair braiding are cultures with black hair textures like those in Africa and the Pacific Islands.
The reason only black people historically braided our hair is because our natural hair grows upwards. All other races have have hair that grows downwards. So the only way for black people to wear our hair down is by braiding our hair or twisting into locks. Caucasians don't need to braid their hair cause your hair naturally grows downwards.
For example if I grow my hair out it'll never fall below my neck. It's just gonna grow into a large bushy afro like Colin Kaepernick. The only way for me to get long hair that falls below my neck is to twist it into locks or to braid it. Black people like having long hair which is why braids and locks have been a part of every black culture on earth since the beginning.
you haven't "proven" anything and it's ludicrous to compare temporary look of hair after unbraiding or showering to mummified remains.
the pictures I've seen of the mummified hair is not in braids
This is some Alex Jones level stupidity
Just pick and choose the 5% you can twist to fit your agenda and ignore the 95% that doesn’tSo showing you Ancient Egyptian murals depicting the same hair styling techniques as modern Africans is "stupidity"?

Don't blame me cause the Ancient Egyptians left detailed accounts of how they styled their hair and the fact modern day Africans do the same thing.
He's not stupid, he's ideologically captured. This is greatly facilitated by how he approaches things not even related to this topic. His football evaluations have demonstrated this too many times to count. He settles on some idea he likes and will ride that bad boy into the ground. It's simply how his mind works.I know another guy who believes the garbage he spews.
He’s an unfortunately not smart fellow. Maybe this guy is stupid too
The Vikings were black. We have proof. Here are a few of their descendants. Notice not only the bone structure but the texture and style of their hair. And of course they label themselves Vikings on their battle dress, similar to their ancestors.You realize Vikings braided their hair right? Are you about to tell me in your mind the Vikings were also black?
