Egyptian Bust in Chicago Museum Bears Eerie Resemblance to Michael Jackson


Egyptian bust in Chicago museum bears eerie resemblance to Michael Jackson


Remember that episode of The Twilight Zone about the reclusive celebrity with the twist-ending connection to ancient Egypt?

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this New Kingdom era bust of a Pharaoh that bears a striking resemblance to our recently departed King. While a) it’s just a coincidence and b) comparing Michael Jackson to anything Egyptian is a bit easy to do considering the whole disintegrating nose thing- it is, in the words of a museum employee, pretty “astounding.”

What came first, after all? MJ, or the bust?

Perhaps MJ saw this bust and decided that he wanted to copy the look.

3. Didn't MJ have a music video which takes place in ancient Egypt?
I believe the name of the song is "Remember the Time", and it stared Iman, Eddie Murphy and Magic Johnson.
