Halle doesn't look anything like Nefertiti and her casting reminds me of putting Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra---a role that would have been better with Halle in it.
I am a Half-Arab woman from North Africa, and like MOST ARAB BLACKS....I am almost chocolate with nappy hair and Nilotic facial features.
On all the royal plates of Nefertiti, she is depicted as looking almost NEGROID and her name itself infers that she was dark and lovely. Nefertiti was Egypt's beautiful Queen and is depicted as black in almost every ancient art work (of course there is a BUST done in ivory that the Whites ONLY SHOW on t.v. all the time)--but she is the "black people's" favorite Queen on the Nile River....after Hatshepsu.
**Historical note: Egyptian Pharoahs took most of their Queens from NUBIA---a full 95% of their "Highest Wives" (Queens) were from Nubia, so it's GHASTLY RACISM that propels these images of ancient Egyptians being portrayed as "White" or "Arab White".
And again, Nefertiti probably looked more like IMAN or like me than like Halle Berry.
