Remember the Time: Ancient Statue Looks Like Michael Jackson
A 3,000-year-old Egyptian statue at Chicago's Field Museum is drawing attention from visitors for its likeness to Michael Jackson: "complete with disfigured nose."

if you cover up the nose, it stops looking like MJ. The weird noselessness is the only similarity, IMHO.

It's too dark-skinned to be MJ.

Lol @ Paul R
Too soon man, too soon!

I totally disagree. I think there is a clear resemblance apart from the nose.

It even has a hole where it's nose used to be.

It shouldn't be a complete surprise. MJ's face that we remember is the one he had made for himself. That statue looks nothing like the way he was born.
Anyone could make their face look like it was carved out of stone, if they carve it out of plastic.

The eyes and lips look a lot similar. The nose he got fixed years ago.

Does this mean that we can add cosmetic surgery (and its abuse) to the list of Egyptian contributions to civilization?

@Paul C
Egyptians are credited with performing some of the first nose jobs- they used to cut off part of the forehead, twist it around, and then sew it over the old nose
Also, if this looks like MJ, then by the transitive process it also looks like janet, latoya, and diana ross
