What does that mean?
Answer
Oh my gosh, is that why I am so sore there? It's good to know there's a reason. I didn't even notice those cords before but I hope there fixed!
Answer
Thanks for your reply. I've never noticed those cords...
If I had them, they must be tied behind my neck now 'cause I sure am sore!

I suspect none of us thinks about these cords - until, one day, we have em! It's interesting looking at everyone's http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=9950557&dopt=Abstract

YourOwnChoice, thanks so much for those very informative sites! I was particularly taken with the following info...
Nefretiti was the wife of Amenhotep IV who ruled Egypt from 1353 to 1336 BC. Her bust is on display at the Aegyptischer Museum in Berlin. It dates to ca. 1340 BC and was found in an excavation on the workshop of the sculptor Thutmosis. He used this bust as a model to make all other statues of the queen for display in the kingdom. On the frontal view the proportionality of alar base width (distance between the lower outer edges of the nostrils) equal to the intercanthal distance (distance between the inner and outer corners of the ) of each eye is evident. Other noteable attributes of beauty are high cheek bones with a gentle curve or concavity to the cheek at the level of the mouth (Ogee curve) evident on the oblique view. The eyebrows gently curve upward with their hiatus at the outer edge of the iris. Their trajectory is contiguous toward the midline with the convexity of the nasal bridge outline bilaterally. There is no brow ptosis/drooping, both eyebrows lie above the superior orbital rim (the boney rim above the eye). The nasal bridge line is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ears. Nasal tip projection outward from the face is about 2/3 of the length of . The chin prominence lies just behind a tangent line drawn from the midpoint of the nasal bridge just passing the edge of the upper lip. The facial is smooth without crow's feet, deep nasolabial folds, neck platysmal bands, jowls or upper/lower lid bags/s. The margin between cheek and lower eyelid is ill defined. The jawline on the other hand sharply defines the margin between neck and face. There is no white scleral show above or below the iris in the intact right eye. Important measurable angles include a lower jaw body to ramus angle of 133o, nasolabial angle of 105o and neck submental angle of 120o are also present. Evidently facial proportions and the ideal look of the youthful feminine face were known as long ago as 1300 or 1400 BC, maybe longer.
It's quite interesting to learn that the standards for physical beauty have been virtually unchanged since 1300 BC. (I can only imagine the beauty regimen of Ape women. )
One thing, tho, DID occur to me. What we now call "the YOUTHFUL feminine face" could, at that point in time, have been the face of the community 'seniors.' Considering what we've learned about life expectancy in "olden days," Queen Nefretiti COULD have been the kingdom's 'elder.' I wonder how many people then actually lived to see "crow's feet, deep nasolabial folds, neck platysmal bands, jowls or upper/lower lid bags/wrinkles."
