Busted: Michael Jackson VS Ancient Egyptian Sculpture

Chicago's Field Museum has a very familiar looking Egyptian bust. The resemblance to the Leader of the Jackson 5 is mind blowing and remarkable. The bust has been part of the permanent collection since 1899 thanks to collector Edward Ayer, who spearheaded the Field Office's foundation.

The statue is dated between 1550 BC to 1050 BC, which is know as the New Kingdom Period, and actually depicts a woman. So the question is: Did the King of Pop get inspired by this artifact for his look? According to the museum, Jackson never passed through the joint and didn't see his Egyptian twin.
