King Tut of Egypt living somewhere between 1332 to 1322 BC turns up to be a
Caucasian, again, according to National Geographic, June 2005, (The white
man views of nature.).  All this detail of the more than 3,000 year old
dried up and modified* mummy by CT scan is not possible.  But, euro-
mythological and racist minds continue to work miracles. The nasal and
mandible bones alone can not tell you the shape of the cartilaginous and
fleshy nose, mouth or ears. Nor can you tell from a 3,000 year old skeleton
the complexion of that person.  Furthermore, why would you choose the very
lightest complexion of a phenotypically diverse people (the Arabs) who we
know just migrated to Egypt about 1300 years ago?  The National
Geographic ‘artists’ should have used a median complexion seen among the
Nubian Egyptians who are brown to very dark brown.  Nubians are known to
have lived in Egypt long before the Arab speaking peoples?  Also, we all
see that within most ethnic groups there are light skinned persons with
very broad or protruding noses and dark people with very narrow noses and
thin lips.
Variation in features is common among modern Egyptians and most so-called
mixed and unmixed peoples.**
Presenting King Tut as a newly discovered Egyptian Caucasoid King just
prior to his American tour is fundamentalist European racial arrogance and
pseudo-science stemming apparently from deep seated historical inferiority
complex. The National Geographic statements and pictures of King Tut are
not only unscientific; they are based on major contradictions of modern
science and history.
Finally, one has to conclude that the Caucasoid theory about King Tut is
simply another Caucasian fantasy about his HISstory.

Now, I guess the Dark Ages have been supplanted by the Caucasian Empires of
Dynasty Egypt!  Well, what do we expect from a people who still represent
God as a ‘Caucasian’ man and angels as obese Caucasoid children? Modern
Geneticists report that phenotype alone can not tell you a person’s genetic
make up and a person’s genes can not tell you a person phenotype, so to
speak. But now that (questionable) King Tut has been reopened, let’s check
the melanin levels and DNA.

National Geographic is often racists, culturally biased and unscientific
but now it is time for Africans and other interested in truly scientific
history to boycott of National Geographic Magazine.
I send a call out to African, Arab, Asian, Latino and honest European
historians, archeologist, geneticists and scientist to comment on the front
page, editor comment page (the 15th yellow labeled page in front titled ‘on
assignment’), and the rest of the main article of national geographic
presentation of an African King as a Caucasian. Also check out the April,
2005, National Geographic Magazine where the Neanderthals are now Negroid
but King Tut and of course God-Jesus, are Caucasoid.


* We know well that archeological finds are sometimes fake or corrupted.
Recall the ‘genuine’ Biblical finds from Palestine a couple of years ago
that turned out to be bogus. Even the question as to whose body is in the
tomb has to be questioned considering that it was initially removed,
damaged and reconstructed by a British anthropologist several decades ago.
(Read the article.)
**I have a nephew who we recently placed braces on his teeth who has a
profile similar to the one developed by the National Geographic artists and
he is indisputably African American. I have a dark brown niece who had
Mediterranean blue eyes until the age of five.  There are also whites
Americans with very broad noses and thick lips so pronounced one stares at
them.
