We have the mummy. Its skin is preserved. Lets take a peek, shall we?

Tut hasn't been unwrapped, but others have. See my post number 180.

Verdict: this guy's a bozo.

And a lawyer, so it doesn't matter who's right or who's wrong, as long as you win your case.

here is a question, what is, exactly, white?

That's a good question. Maybe we should be classified by the wavelength range we reflect, instead of checking a box for White (Non-Asian), Asian (Non-White), Pacific Islander, Aborigine, ect.

That way, Universities could set a specific mean frequency they would like their entire student body to reflect.

Or, the libbies could just get to the point and ask "Do You Hate Western Civilization" Yes No.

Race never was a good indicator of that.

No kidding. They need to reel it in just a tad.

Were they handing out cheese at the exhibit?

Lots of Egyptians do not like to be called Arab! Arabs didn't invade until the late 7th century. Tut was probably semitic looking like so many other cultures of the Mediterranean. Later on, in the Alexandrian epoch, lots of blondes from Northern Greece ruled Egypt so there was that mix as well.

The Afrocentrists make all kinds of ridiculous claims.

What evidence exists anywhere as to his hue?

Paintings. Painted sculptures. Existant family lines.

These are the same baffoons who claim that Cleopatra, an ethnic Greek, was black too.

White and black are relative terms, successfully employed by the racialists to obscure issues.

Negroid and Caucasid are more accurate and Tutankhamun was defintely Caucasoid. Did he look like a Norweigan? Probably not. He probably resembled most north Africans who are dark-skinned Caucasoids.

Some Pharoahs were Negroid, most were not, but an entire dynasty from Kush were.

Ancient Egypt was much like modern Egypt - a multi racial society in which whether or not a person was an Egyptian or a non-Egyptian was far more important than skin pigmentation or the lack of same.

These racialist hucksters should find something more constructive to do with their anger.

The face in the mask may not be his. As a matter of fact, many of the artifacts found in his timb may have been created for another burial.

A more recent recreation of him as appeared in National Geographic and based on his skull clearly indicates a North African Caucasoid type with feminine features.

The ancient Egyptians regularly painted themselves as redskinned for the men, yellow skinned or white for the females and black for Kushites. They usually painted Asiatics and Lybians as white skinned.

Yeah. The real Egyptians were not Arabs, nor even Semites, although their language was remotely related to Semitic languages. It was more closely related to Berber, Ancient Lybian and Ancient Kushite as well as some black north African Langauges placed in the Afro-Asiatic Linguistic Family.

African-American activists criticized the Board of Supervisors Tuesday for allowing a King Tut exhibition at the county Museum of Art, saying that renderings of the boy king as white are inaccurate.

Maybe he went to Michael Jackson's dematologist.
