From NBCChicago.com:

The Pharaoh of Pop doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as King of Pop, but visitors to Chicago’s Field Museum could swear that’s Jacko’s face on a 3,000-year-old Egyptian bust.

The spitting image limestone sculpture has been on display at the museum since 1988, but recently started drawing attention because of its likeness to Jacko — complete with disfigured nose.
Unfortunately the bust, which was carved sometime between 1550 B.C. and 1050 B.C., is of a woman and MJ likely never had the chance to see the statuette.

    I wouldn’t say “CREEPY” Blue… I would say more like either prophetic, or poetic!

    whoa! id swear 2 god michael not only saw this statuette, he sought out to become just like her. if he never saw it when he was alive, maybe he was her reincarnated as the king of pop in this life(crazy thought but could be true! spirits can be reborn as the other sex in their next life) or maybe he saw her in a dream and wanted to be like her. who knows for sure. all i can say is, r.i.p. michael jackson.

    It does strongly resemble Micheal, even the eyes. On another note as a MJ fan, I hate it when these news people refer to him as Jacko. I feel that is very degrading and disrespectful. I expect this type of behavior from the Enquirer or the Star but not News One.

    Maybe Mike was reincarnated. Hell, you never know, he is an icon that will live throughout the ages. By the way excuse me, so what it’s the head of a female. Historically those cats(Egyptians),was into tatooing makeup on their faces and they wore perfume, I’m talking about the men and the women numbskulls. Hell, look at the deathmasks of the Pharoahs. Call Rameses the II a punk and his royal mummy will kick yo ass just like he kicked the crap out of many ruling tribes in Northern Africa when he was alive. Also I must agree with LibraQuEEn77, give Michael somw respect. They call him Jacko in the newspapers and tabloids. These papers are ran by a mostly caucasion media. They have no respect for any achievements or accomplishments of black people so they seek to diminish any gains wev’e made as a race. They sometimes call President Obama, Mr. Obama. You’ve never heard them say Mr. Clinton or Mr. Bush, not Even Mr. Whales (I’m referring to Prince Charles) and that bastard isn’t even American. Have more respect News one, and don’t disrespect Mike like that. Give it to him.

    Obama, Now MJ ? Remember the ancient figurine that looked like B-Rock when the first family traveled recently?
    Now one that looks like MJ (1990′s version) I think this only proves that we are pretty much all connected thru DNA/Genetics and the facial structure/looks etc will repeat as time goes on down the line..in fact I read a study of biology indicating that if a couple (man/woman) had 900 seperate children (nine hundred) kids together, 3/or 4-non twins- would still be “identical” and the other 896 sibling would merely look similar (duh!) too each other. And on a side note: The mother would hold a world record for most stretch marks!

    PS? Anybody heard the rumor that MJ did not invent/create the MOONWALK? Someone told me they read the the Moonwalk was created by Shalimar frontman Jeffery Daniel when he danced on soul train and he taught it to Mike? Just wondering

    I didn’t know the Egyptians utilized heart patterns. Crazy d00d

    This is response to writer_man, LaToya did an interview and stated that Mike was taught the moonwalk by Jeffery Daniel, and also TV ONE did an segment on Shalimar and Jeffrey Daniel also commented on teaching Michael the MoonWalk, however, I’m yet to see Jeffrey Daniel perform the moonwalk like Mike did. Mike mastered the MOONWALK, along with other dances.
