[World News]: London, Jan 24 : Ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti was a chav in the real sense, as she was the first woman in the world to have a facelift.

Britain’s Channel 4 show ‘Ancient Plastic Surgery’ claimed that Nefertiti had a “Croydon facelift” where hair is tied so tight that it pulls the skin taut reducing fine lines and wrinkles on the face.

The technique is used today by millions of chavs to make women look younger, and it may have been commonly used by Egyptians around 1500BC.

“It’s been referred to in texts of her using pieces of linen covered in resin or another adhesive product near her hair line to pull back the eyes or even out crow’s feet,” The Sun quoted Lisa Schwappach of California’s Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum as saying. (ANI)
