Michael Jackson, Egyptian Princess?

Did the King of Pop model his look on face of a woman from 1550 B.C.? It sure seems like it

Michael Jackson, Egyptian SculptureJohn Weinstein/ Field Museum

Is the King of Pop the reincarnation of King Tut? Not exactly. But according to reports, there is an ancient Egyptian statue at Chicago's Field Museum that bears an uncanny resemblance to Michael Jackson, right down to the botched nose job. To make Jackson's old-school spittin' image even weirder, it's actually the likeness of a woman. (And no, we don't think it looks like Diana Ross!)

"I have no idea whether Jackson ever visited the museum," a Field representative said. "But the similarity between the limestone statue of a woman—which is about 3,000 years old—and Jackson is astounding."
