These race-baiters are such idiots. The only people who take them seriously are other idiots (and, of course, the media, but I repeat myself.)

Aside from what you already said about the Egyptians knowing what they looked like, many of the wall paintings portray sub-Saharan Africans (among others that the Egyptians encountered in their long history), and it's plain that the Egyptians were perfectly capable of noticing and reproducing the different appearances of different people.

We have a full color original bust of his mother, Nefertiti, and she is white, in fact, paler than most mediteranean caucasians. Since her husband was her brother Ankhnaten, we can be sure he was white as well.

Unless we are dealing with a Michael Jackson situation, the kid, Tut, is gonna be the same race as the parents.

Thank you for posting that. I have pictures in a book of Egyptian art and how carefully they distinguished the different colors and features of different peoples, but how could I post it?

I don't know why there should be any controversy. Can't somebody just take a look?
