There's a 3,000-year-old Egyptian statue that bears a striking resemblance to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. People can't deny the look and some think it's actually Mike.

Below are a couple of facts we know about the statue and its relationship to Michael Jackson.

1. The statue is on display at the Chicago Field Museum

2. It was carved between 1550 a. C. and 1050 a. c.

Archaeologists have noted that this bust was carved during the New Kingdom Period of Egyptian history and that was between 1550 B.C. C. and 1050 a. c.

3. This was the same time period of King Ramses and King Tut.

The model was carved sometime during the reign of King Remesses or King Tut, but there is no exact date, who it is, or why it was created, as it has no hieroglyphics.

4. Michael Jackson fans treat him like a pilgrimage

This Egyptian carving is one of the most popular exhibits at Chicago's Field Museum, as tons of Michael Jackson fans come each year and treat a visit to the museum like a pilgrimage. Some people ask about this Egyptian statue before buying tickets, and many head straight for the exhibit when they enter the museum.

5. Visitors are prohibited from touching or kissing the statue

Some fans might go overboard and want to touch or kiss the statue as they are genuinely convinced it is Michael Jackson. Visitors are prohibited from doing this and the carving is actually behind a protective screen.

6. The bust is actually a women's size

Although it looks like Michael Jackson, the limestone carving is actually a statue of a woman. The model measures 25 cm high by 35 cm wide.

7. The nose is missing

Many are convinced it is Michael Jackson, as the bust's nose looks eerily similar to the King of Pop's. There is an explanation for the missing nose, and a museum curator explained that:

“95% of Egyptian statues and busts were desecrated by early Christians and Muslims because they were used for idolatry. They looked up to these as idols and removing their noses made them "non-human".

8. The statue looks like Michael in "Remember the Time."

People are convinced this is Mike when they take a look at his 1993 pop hit "Remember the Time." The music video is set in Egypt and it couldn't be more of a coincidence.
