Bravo, Mr. Christian Corbet, for creating King Tutankhamun’s forensic facial reconstruction in Sackville, NB, Canada!

A big thank you to the Warktimes for informing us about one of the latest and greatest achievements of Mr. Christian Corbet. Bambi is referring to Mr. Bruce Wark’s article entitled “King Tut ‘reborn’ in Sackville 100 years after discovery of his tomb” (https://bit.ly/3SJS05g)!

From the above Warktimes excellent article, we learn the following: ” Corbet created King Tut’s forensic facial reconstruction for a two-hour PBS documentary on the ancient ruler filmed to mark the 100th anniversary of the discovery of his tomb in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile near the city of Luxor.”

Of note, Mr. Christian Corbet seems to have “insisted on doing it here in Sackville“. As also reported in the Warktimes (https://bit.ly/3SJS05g), this artist’s own words were as follows: “I wanted to work from my home, that’s where my studios are,” he says, “and I thought this was something that would benefit not only our province, but our little town.” For more details about this project, you may wish to read the full article in question.

Thank you, Mr. Cobert, for your inspiring talent. Indeed, Bambi had the honour to visit your studios. We are not just lucky, but also blessed, to have the latter located in our small town. Indeed, Mr. Corbet’s creations have been collected by over 100 100 art galleries, museums, and other institutions worldwide. He is regularly cited in the international literature. The Canadian Government has awarded him coat of arms and badge. He is also the recipient of the Diamond Jubilee Medal in addition to numerous honourary titles by our governments. In addition to his arts and being an art historian, he is a great lecturer, a devoted mentor as well as patron. In addition to his shining career, excellence in arts, and inspiring work ethics, those who know Mr. Corbet, as a valuable member of our community, appreciate his humanity and personality.

To conclude this post on a musical note, Bambi will end with a song that pays tribute to Egypt. It is in Arabic, entitled “Sallem ala Masr” [“Send my regards to Egypt“], and sung by Ms. Hiba Tawaji from out of Lebanon. If she may, she would like to offer it to Mr. Corbet, Mr. Wark, Fatma, and Laila!
