Check out this Discovery Channel link on the face of King Tut:

Tut Face

[Swordmaker]

I think that both of the presented King Tut's are taking too much from the revisionist history that purports that the Egyptian Pharoahs were Negroid.

These "artistic" revisionists, for Politically Correct reasons, have thickened Tut's patrician nose and thickened his lips.

The Discover face was created by people who decided they know more about what Tut looked like 3000 years later than artists who created their masterpiece working either with personal knowledge of Tut's appearance or working from other life studies done while he was alive.

King Tut is one of the few pharoahs for whom we do have completely contemporary likenesses available... so what do these PC idiots do? They decide the Egyptians did not know what they were looking at.

King Tut...he's my favorite honkey!" - thanks to Steve Martin.

But it bears little resemblance to the golden funeral mask found in the pharaoh's tomb.

Duh! That's because the funeral mask is gold! ;)

The king took the throne at the age of nine after the death of his father Akhenaten at age 18.

Anyone know how old Tut's mommy was if Daddy was only 9 when Tut was conceived?

The king took the throne at the age of nine after the death of his father Akhenaten at age 18.

Pretty funny wording. A case of pharoahs having pharoahs.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Note: this topic was started September 30, 2002. Blast from the Past. Thanks Asmodeus for posting it. It's been in the catalog for years, but news about Egypt has been thin lately (due to the digging and publishing schedules over there, give or take budget and grant cuts), so I'm going to ping it. Those who've seen it before may enjoy seeing it again (particularly if they've forgotten about it) and those who weren't on FR or on GGG back when get to see it for the first time. Probably. :') Also updating the GGG info. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. GGG managers are SunkenCiv, StayAt HomeMother, and Ernest_at_the_Beach

Wouldn’t a funerary mask have been cast from modeling clay or wax impression and therefore be the most accurate likeness compared to a computer recreation?

[DejaJude]

I always thought that the golden mask looked like MJ after his plastic surgery.

[thefactor]

i’m sorry, but does NO ONE see the resemblance to our current president?

[eleni121]

Have they determined who his mother was? Kiya or Nefertiti...
