That picture set off my GAYDAR receiver!
Sometimes they did. Ancient Egypt was a multiracial society. There were many blacks from Nubia directly to the south. I saw the Tut exhibit rececently and made a special point of noting skin color when possible. There was a range from almost pure white (Nefertiti) to the blackest of black. Light olive hues seemed to predominate, especially among the ruling elites.
The nuts who push the "Black Egypt" nonsense seem to be making the argument that goes: are you going to believe me or your own two eyes?
Gack!
Is it just me, or does the computer-generated likeness of Tut bear a striking resemblance to Babs Streisand?
Based on that picture, you will now have the Gays saying King Tut was one of them and also a TV.
Martin just smiled and said nothing.
I even remember Victor Buono reciting poetry on Carson. Or was is limericks? *sigh* Entertainment ain't what it used to be.
It never was.
I think I saw him in San Francisco.
Sure does look like Babs! But she already looked like Queen Nefertiti, so as I said earlier, maybe the ancient Eqyptians weren't so much Afro as Jewish!
I say let it be known that the Egyptian pharohs were black....and that black Americans owe slave reparations to the Jews they enslaved, plus interest.
Interesting thought. So is # 29!
Nubia had an eventful history that deserves to be better known. Black Nubians built pyramids. Black Nubians developed a unique written language. They even conquered Egypt for a time and were one of the few nations to successfully repel a Roman invasion- under the leadership of a powerful Queen.
Cool stuff. Too bad sabotaging the West's heritage is more important. I bet none of these people cares about the suffering of Nubia's modern successor, the Sudan, either.
The really sad part is the people who think it makes them look better or worse if some other person is a particular color.
Guess what. It doesn't say anything about your accomplishments or lack of them to point at the accomplishments of some other person.
Because Egypt was teh crossroads (ie, rape and plunder) of many thousand years of fighting across that land.
But to claim that Tut was Negroid is merely exaggerating the racism of the "protesters".
Through this exhibit, and their bias, "they" are the ones distorting what facts are available for THEIR agenda.
Poetry, which he largely wrote himself. My favorite is this one
Fat Man's Prayer
Lord, My soul is ripped with riot
incited by my wicked diet.
"We Are What We Eat," said a wise old man!
and, Lord, if that's true, then I'm a garbage can.
I want to rise on Judgment Day, that's plain!
But at my present weight, I'll need a crane.
So grant me strength, that I may not fall
into the clutches of cholesterol.
May my flesh with carrot-curls be sated,
that my soul may be polyunsaturated
And show me the light, that I may bear witness
to the President's Council on Physical Fitness.
And at oleomargarine I'll never mutter,
for the road to Hell is spread with butter.
And cream is cursed; and cake is awful;
and Satan is hiding in every waffle.
Mephistopheles lurks in provolone;
the Devil is in each ice cream cone.
Beelzebub is a chocolate drop,
and Lucifer is a lollipop.
Give me this day my daily slice
but, cut it thin and toast it twice.
I beg upon my dimpled knees,
deliver me from jujubees.
And when my days of trial are done,
and my war with malted milk is won,
Let me stand with the Saints in Heaven
In a shining robe--size 37.
I can do it Lord, If You'll show to me,
the virtues of lettuce and celery.
If You'll teach me the evil of mayonnaise,
of pasta a la Milannaise
potatoes a la Lyonnaise
and crisp-fried chicken from the South.
Lord, if you love me, shut my mouth.

Separated at birth!
Does anybody know King Tuts lineage?
For example, the Ptolemys (Cleopatras family) were from Macedonian and were direct descendants from a general of Alexander the Greats army. Until Cleopatras reign, the court spoke Greek and not the language of their people. Cleopatra was the first one to speak whatever the masses spoke. In fact, Cleopatra spoke nine languages.
Also, they married among themselves.
What is my point? Was King Tut Egyptian?
Thank you.
