The physical appearance of Ati, the co-ruling woman of Punt, often referred to as “the Queen of Punt,” as depicted in the pharaoh Hatshepsut’s “Voyage to Punt” has been subject to scholarly attention in the European academy. However, in this scholarship her appearance is disparaged as humorous or pathological which is reminiscent of the racist characterizations of Ssehura of the Khoi-Khoi people as the “Hottentot Venus.” This problem is termed as the “European Hottentot Complex” in this study. Recovering Ati from the European Hottentot Complex, this study provides an Afronography on the Kemetiu (ancient Egyptian) aesthetic perspective by examining the primary sources from a Jamaican cultural perspective through language. Subsequently, this study shows the transgenerational dimension of the Afrikan aesthetic norm that is expressed in the Jamaican notion of tiknis. Ultimately, this study locates the Kemetiu perspective on Ati of Punt within the context of tiknis.

消除“平底锅女王”的诱惑-关于邦特阿提的Kemetiu描写的牙买加人志

正如法老王哈特谢普苏特(Hatshepsut)的《 V游之路》(Poyage to Punt)中所描绘的那样,庞特的共同统治者阿提(Ati)的外表通常被称为“ P女王”,这已引起欧洲学术界的关注。但是,在这项奖学金中,她的外表被贬低为幽默或病态,这让人想起科伊科伊人Ssehura的种族主义特征,即“霍滕特金星”。在本研究中,该问题被称为“欧洲霍滕托特情结”。该研究从欧洲Hottentot建筑群中恢复了Ati,通过从牙买加文化角度通过语言考察了主要来源,从而提供了关于Kemetiu(古埃及)美学视角的志向。后来,提尼克斯。最终,本研究在tiknis的背景下找到了Kemetiu对Punt的Ati的观点。
