Still Waters Posted April 3, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2015 An ancient Egyptian masterpiece, hailed by some scholars as the "Mona Lisa" of Egyptian painting, is in fact a fake created in the 19th century, a researcher says. But the painting may conceal an authentic Pyramid Age piece underneath. The "Meidum Geese," as modern-day Egyptologists and art historians call it, was supposedly found in 1871 in a tomb located near the Meidum Pyramid, which was built by the pharaoh Snefru (reign 2610-2590 B.C). http://www.livescien...ay-be-fake.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalmoxis Posted April 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Looks like a Chinese lithograph. I wouldn't be surprised that it's a fake since forgeries made in the distant past are found often enough to really need to authenticate everything you find. I personally don't see anything great about this painting. The secret to the Mona Lisa is she doesn't have eyebrows. That's why viewers are hypnotized.
