I understand he had a condo made of Stone-Ah.

The results showed that King Tut belonged to a genetic profile group, known as haplogroup R1b1a2, to which more than 50 percent of all men in Western Europe belong
Thanks, that's my haplogroup (R-M269)... I was unaware Tut was too.
I'm of Irish descent, although my autosomal DNA indicates 91% Orcadian, which refers to the Orkney Islands, off the north coast of Scotland.
There be Vikings in my tree!

Family resemblance? Akhenaten on the right and a reconstruction of Tutankhamun on the left. Akhenaten is a fascinating figure, a reformer who attempted to swing his people to monotheism and away from a corrupt and powerful priesthood. He died prematurely and his reforms dissipated after his death.

From the Great Hymn to Aten, attributed to Akhenaten:

"...How manifold are thy works,
They are hidden from before us
O Sole God, whose powers no other possesseth.
Thou didst create the earth according to thy heart
While thou wast alone
Man, all cattle, large and small
All that are upon the earth
That go about on their feet
All That are on high
That fly with their wings
The foreign countries, Syria and Kush,
The land of Egypt
Thou settest every man into his place
Thou suppliest their necessities "

I already knew that Ramses the Great had red wavy hair. That would go along with them being related to modern Europeans.

When you think about it, Caucasoid Egyptians would not have evolved in Egypt. There is little difference in climate between non-Black Egypt, and black Sudan.

What makes more sense would be if the Caucasian race evolved somewhere in Europe or western Asia, and then migrated down to the North Africa region.

A dozen years ago, Joann Fletcher identified the mummy called the “Younger Woman” as Nefertiti, and that’s the one which the DNA tests say was Tut’s mother. This would mean Ms. Fletcher was right.

It’s also a good thing Immanuel Velikovsky didn’t see this, because I remember him writing in “Oedipus and Akhnaton” that he hoped Nefertiti’s mummy would never be found. He didn’t want somebody putting a picture of the mummy next to a picture of Nefertiti’s famous statue.

There are very high rates of infertility, particularly among males. In Iran the rate of infertility is 20% which is double to triple normal.

Pretty much. I went to the last Tut exhibit a year or so ago when it toured America. They stated Tut had been written out of history because of his screwing around with the the idea of the Sun God being omnipotent and the old guards didn’t like that.

So after he died they hastily buried him and wrote him out of history consequentially, the grave robbers over the millennium never discovered his tomb and when the English explorer Howard Carter discovered his tomb after a 31 year search, it was filled with all the goodies buried with Tut thousands of years earlier.

Is it just me or is Nefertiti a really fun name?

They fail to mention that Tut's yDNA is R1b, the same as 68% of Europeans.

The British monarchy today has precious little Viking blood. When the Stuart dynasty played out the crown went to the Elector of Hanover, a German monarch and great-grandson of James I. The Stuarts didn’t actually disappear, but the Act of Settlement required that the crown pass to the senior Protestant in line to the throne. The House of Windsor is basically German, especially considering that Victoria and Elizabeth II married Germans.
