Dr. Hawass knows very well that Farouk's amarna sculptures are authentic; he is not a fool like Wildung. If he does that, he will: 1) prove that Wildung is one of those so-called "JEALOUS ART HISTORIANS who condemn authentic works for spite", and therefore is a criminal; and 2: He will prove that Farouk's Nefertiti head which came from the Mansoor Amarna Collection is the most beautiful portrait of Nefertiti that could have been executed ONLY by Bak. The question is: Would Dr. Hawass get Farouk's amarna sculptures out, and exhibit them ? This remains to be seen.
