: . Hassani Jaber... Nefertiti up close...
A scientific study reveals the reason why the bust of the Egyptian Queen (Nefertiti) is the most famous artwork in the history of human civilizations and the immortal and charming symbol of art and beauty throughout the ages, after a three-dimensional scan of the most famous piece of art with the aim of testing and analyzing its geometric and mathematical features, the study found To a group of surprising results, its conclusion is that this masterpiece, which was accomplished by the Egyptian model (Thutmose), and which was found in his technical laboratory in the city (Akhet Aten), represents a milestone and a decisive turning point in the history of art and sculpture, which witnessed the deliberate use and embodiment of basic geometric shapes. In the three-dimensional sculpture, as it was found that the famous bust contains a complex set of geometric shapes and proportions, such as the circle and the Pythagorean triples! Which reflects the realization and awareness of advanced engineering, so as the research says, it is a milestone and a turning point from simple engineering in the design of three-dimensional sculptures, to an advanced engineering stage in technical and architectural design. The technical school in the era of Akhenaten), he was not a pioneer of an artistic revolution that the Greeks followed after his era in Pfron, but he was also a mathematical genius. Examination of the statue reveals proportions, aesthetics, and well-developed geometric and mathematical forms.
This makes us recall the phrase of the historian of science in the twentieth century (George Sarton): "The Egyptians reached a position in art that no one had reached before them, and they were not surpassed by those who came after them... They were ours. The first teachers."
