King Tut

[liberty]

There is a lot of dispute about this: I bet Afro-centric scholars are calling it an out and out lie. Well, science works like this: If it is true it can be proven, test it again. And if it is true it would not be a great surprise. All related people have a common ancestor. All Caucasians have a common ancestor the same as humans have a common ancestor and all members of a family have a common ancestor. The majority of ancient Egyptians were Caucasian, that is not to say white as that refers to aboriginal Europeans.

Afro-centric scholars claim that ancient Egyptians were a black people, but ancient Egyptian wall paintings and hair studies of Egyptian mummies demonstrate that they were predominately a non Negroid people.


Scientists at Zurich-based DNA genealogy center, iGENEA, have reconstructed the DNA profile of King Tut, his father Akhenaten and grandfather Amenhotep III.

Researchers discovered that King Tut belonged to a genetic profile group known as haplogroup R1b1a2. More than 50 per cent of all men in Western Europe belong to this genetic group as do up to 70 per cent of British men.

But among modern-day Egyptians, less than 1 per cent of residents belong to this haplogroup, according to scientists.

King Tut and Europeans share a common ancestor genetically who lived in the Caucasus region, the blue-eyed race spreading out with agricultural about 9,500 years ago.

The geneticists were not sure how Tutankhamun’s paternal lineage came to Egypt from its region of origin, though it is clear that technology such as chariots and domesticated horses was introduced from a foreign source.

Along with the discovery, researchers made another announcement this week: they will conduct testing to find which modern-day European is the closest living relative of King Tut.
“The offer has only been publicized for three days but we have already seen a lot of interest,” Roman Scholz, lead director at the DNA genealogy center in Zurich, Switzerland.
Dating almost 6,000 years to the Pre-dynastic period of ancient Egypt, this figure is of a man, with a shaven head and a long pointed beard.


There is little detail on the figure but what there is, is concentrated on the face, his eyes are inlaid with light green stones and are the most arresting part of the figure.

This is already typical of Egyptian art - they are obsessed with the eyes and more attention is usually given to them than almost any other aspect of a person. Louvre, Paris, France.

Archaeologists in Egypt have recently unearthed a beautiful 5,000+ year-old wooden statue, complete with gold wrapping paper and precious lapis lazuli stones as striking blue eyes, dated from Egypt's pre-dynastic era (3,700-3,200 BC), before the age of pharaohs, among the oldest such artifacts ever found to date.

King Tut (King Tut)
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he'd see
People stand in line to see the boy king.

(King Tut) How'd you get so funky?
(Funky Tut) Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut).

(King Tut) Now, if I'd known
They'd line up just to see him,
I'd taken all my money
And bought me a museum. (king Tut)

Buried with a donkey (funky Tut)
He's my favorite honkey!
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut)

(Tut, Tut) Dancin' by the Nile, (Disco Tut, Tut)
The ladies love his style, (boss Tut, Tut)
Rockin' for a mile (rockin' Tut, Tut)
He ate a crocodile.

He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idol!
He's an Egyptian.

They're selling you!

Now, when I die,
Now don't think I'm a nut,
Don't want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut. (king Tut)

He coulda won a Grammy, (king Tut)
Buried in his Jammies, (king Tut)
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona, got a condo made of stone-a,
King Tut!

It's sad that he never received credit for establishing the Toys for Tuts program for pharaohs below the poverty level.

...and the envelope please!

Pshaw - not even slightly shaven headed! Tsk, tsk

[TPFKA@W]

This is the kind of Nazi shit my grandmother spouted.

[Fafhrd]

Less than 1% of modern Egyptians share Tut's DNA? That's because modern Egyptians are descended from Arabs, not traditional Egptians.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Yes, I rather think that's his point, Fafhrd. Science (he's writing) demonstrates that ancient Egyptians have an ancestry involving Caucasoid Europeans - or the other way round. Or something like that. Or other

How is it NAZI? It is either true or it is not. If the DNA is available it should be possible to settle the issue.

I strongly suspect the ancestors of Egyptians come from somewhere. And I suspect that place is the wide open Eurasian steppes.

History records numerous waves of invaders from the grasslands of the north, but only one from the south; the Nubians who conquered and ruled Egypt for about a hundred years before the Egyptians drove them out. So it seems much more likely to me that the ancestors of the Egyptians came from the north. I doubt these movements down from the north were prompted by the invention of writing; they where happening long before writing came along.

The Bibles provides a hint about this; Abraham and his people came from the northeast beyond the Euphrates river. Extend that line of travel to the northeast and you come to the southern steppes around the Caspian Sea. I don’t know if it was the same wave of humanity that brought the Semitic peoples south who may have also invaded the Nile valley and displaced the aboriginal Negroid people of the area. But I believe it did happen and I also believe it possible that some of their family instead of gong south went west towards Europe.

FYI: According to Jane Fonda, King Tut died while inspecting the inside of one of his pyramids and was engulfed by flowing grain from the external auger loader and subsequently sucked under where he died of asphyxiation. I thought you should know.

Perhaps, did my post leave out any commas, apostrophe's, or semi;colons?

Perhaps an umlaut?

[MajGenl.Meade]

Oh, curses. I should have written, "tut, tut"! My bad!

Once again lib, you are demonstrating your fascination with the subject of race...it clearly seems to be a topic of great interest for you ...(you even bring it up in your sig line)

In fact I don't think we've had anyone since mediator who has talked about it more...

liberty is a racist in denial. In this particular case he is a racist in the Nile.

[MajGenl.Meade]

...and what was your first cleo?

[Joe Guy]

When he began to talk out of his asp.

Were you to peer amid his clothing I bet you would find a white robe and hood.
