If someone can post a photo of the cover of Waris's book Desert Flower-
[www.amazon.com]

I think they will get what I'm talking about. Her features appear to have been sculpted by the same artisans. Astonishing and fierce a real life Puntite if ever there were one. I think the Sitamun character is unlike Somalian born Waris, written as an Upper Egyptian from an old lineage.

Lots of pre production for projects of this size- sets have to be built in both virtual and physical realms, location filming is a movie unto itself and the story writing has to pass through alot of filters before it gets a blessing. Each step is somewhat miraculous- sort of like watching a giraffe in slow motion- close up. Not always the most lively of creatures but certainly interesting. Ensemble casts are not on topic here. It should be suffice to say that some of the world's most breathtaking women may appear in any or each and every one of the installments look forward to Halle Berry as Nefertiti, Cicely Tyson may portray Queen Tiye; Tantoo Cardinal as Lady Dey, Nefertiti's adopted mother, Waris as Younger Sitamun, Wanakee as Older Sitamun, Iman as the Oracle, Shoreh Agadashloo as Queen Gilukhepha- etc.
