The statue of Hemiunu, the 4th dynasty vizier of Pharaoh Khufu, was purportedly found headless in 1912 by a German/Australian excavation team, in the shadow of the Great Pyramid at Giza. Hemiunu is said to have been the engineer of the Great Pyramid. As noted earlier on this blog, his parents Nefermaat and Itet were Black Africans.
The head was replaced with a European depiction that contrasts greatly with what he would have looked like. My research has now brought me to the realization that there are just a few well-placed, and likely fraudulent, Eurocentric-looking pieces of Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, New Kingdom statues. The rest are clearly Black African.
