Funny, he don't look French...............

Naw, naw, naw!

Everybody knows the ancient Egyptians were black, their kings especially.

[skeeter]

I'm inclined to believe it.

Human population migrations are damn interesting. How did they Egyptians get to Europe? How did the present day Egyptians get to Egypt? How to account for the totality of the Egyptian haplotype replacement, genocide?

“This genetic profile group is also found in 70 percent of Spanish males and 60 percent of French males however, it is only present in less than one percent of men in modern-day Egyptian men.”

Muslim Invasion of Egypt took care of that.

[Vigilanteman]

What this means is that Egypt is currently occupied by mainly invaders and interlopers. They need to move out to make room for Spanish, English and French men. They may let some of the women stay as a humanitarian gesture.

But any Egyptian men without the proper DNA link to King Tut need to go back to where they came from or pay a properly negotiated jizya to the rightful owners of the land.

I always thought it fascinating that Ramses the Great had red wavy hair.

The last rightful air to King Tut Tut’s throne lives in a Vega near a big pyramid shaped building in the Nevada dessert and plays a lot of faro.
Plus he’s really dark skinned and talks funny so I guess he should have his DNR checked, huh?

[PeaRidge]

Tut, nicknamed the ‘Stilt’, was actually almost 6’5”, and in his youth played for the Cairo Capitols.

“men share the same DNA”

Doubt it. Could be we share similar DNA but not the same.

[org.whodat]

So a lot of European people had the same ancestors as TUT, it does not mean they are from tut. Only they shared common ancestors. If this was not true then it would be a real shock.

[pgkdan]

Look at the Egypt of Tut and Amenhotep and all that culture accomplished and then take a close look at the squalor of modern Egypt. Does anyone really believe that these people are the modern descendents of that great race? I certainly don’t. I’m not in the least surprised to see that only 1% of modern Egyptians share DNA with that ancient culture.

[Ben Chad]

Not my haplogroup (I1)

[Meet the New Boss]

70 percent of British men share the same DNA as the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun

I can see a little resemblance...

[Jewbacca]

The entire R1b group is extremely rare among the Jewish people, with less than 10% expressing any of the R1b groups, so it appears that King Tut was “not a Jew.”

Off topic, but that burial mask is (or at least was as of 1983) exhibited in the middle of a room at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo on a pedestal surrounded on all four sides by glass. One could get quite close to it and see it on all sides. When looking at it directly from the front the face seems alive and the eyes look straight into your own. It's one of the most remarkable things I've personally ever seen.

By the time of King Tut several dynasties had already risen and fallen in Egypt and so it would be hard to identify a direct lineage back to the original founders of the kingdom. A successful general could ascend to become Pharaoh by marrying the daughter of the previous one, and sometimes a son of a Pharaoh would marry his own sister to gain legitimacy. So if anything, their genetics could be a very, shall we say, unusual mix.
