The other night I was with a group of friends listening to a speaker talk about an interesting arcane subject… pyramids. As I was listening to his presentation I was, of course, reading his face. I became curious about how his facial features related to his topic. He spoke passionately about pyramids, their history, magic, and impact on today’s society. As I read his face I noticed his features had a remarkable resemblance to those of ancient Egyptian Pharaohs…
Here are some of the similarities I observed…
A thin face, large forehead, and narrow jaw – People with these features focus on the internal and intellectual, and are more connected to their inner thoughts and feelings than to their outer world. When concerned, they like to solve their own challenges.
A very convex face (where the nose is prominent and at sharp angles to the forehead and chin) – People with this feature are very observant and have a lot of energy. They are confident and quick to act, sometimes a little too aggressively.
Narrow cheeks – People who have this feature experience powerful bursts of energy, but they need to take occasional periods of rest to become refreshed. They dislike situations that just plod along. Slower people tend to drive them to distraction.
A narrow aquiline nose – People with this type of nose have an appreciation of beauty and elegance, but the real talent is in creative problem solving. They can usually see better ways to do things and are not afraid to try them. People with narrow noses at the bottom have had to basically make it on their own.
A nose tip that is turned down and pointed – This feature means its owner is sometimes unfeeling, self-serving, and even deceitful. People with this feature have trouble figuring out how to be considerate and accepting of other people’s viewpoints.
So the next time you see someone who has a passionate interest in a topic check to see if they have facial features that match the subject. Remember, your face will change when you change your personality and your personality will change if you alter your facial features.
