WAS HE BLACK AFRICAN OR NOT? EGYPTOLOGIST Zahi Hawass doesn't think so!: "Tutankhamun was not black, and the portrayal of ancient Egyptian civilisation as black has no element of truth to it," Hawass told reporters. http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iB6u3XEMp9IrJfl-kH6FHNgZCg_A WHAT DO YOU THINK?? WAS TUTANKHAMUN BLACK OR NOT?? |

| joeocho88 ::: Favorites 2008-01-14 09:58:35 The reason his face is BLACK is because of the mummification chemicals plus the great age of the skin. His nose is sunk in because the supporting cartlidge has rotted away! This video proves nothing to me. Were the Royal Dynsasties of Egypt Black? Does it really matter? What matters is what YOU can do with YOUR life! __________________________________________________ | |

| erikfofo ::: Favorites 2008-01-06 04:36:21 That's not my impression, I think most of the peopel interested in this are yanks, I've never seen an issue being discussed with such fervor. Anyway I think you have a point in saying that in the past there was a tendency to say that everything created in Egypt was made by white peopel. I just dont think that's the case TODAY. There were semites in Egypt from the beginning of the Egyptian civilization as can be seen in the Maadi settlement. How many were white is impossible to say. __________________________________________________ | |
| jackcrossa ::: Favorites 2008-01-06 02:48:25 Actually the whole world makes a big deal if this, which is why Egypt has been "white washed" for century. __________________________________________________ | |
| erikfofo ::: Favorites 2008-01-05 05:46:36 Well, this is an interesting discussion, because how black does a person have to be to be 'really' black? And how white does a person have to be to be 'really' white? Personally I have no problem looking at ancient Egypt as racially mixed, as is proven by the many migrations into Egypt from north and south. So, as one can expect, you see Egyptians show themselves as sometimes white/semitic, black or mulato. Only rootless americans make a big deal out of this ;-) __________________________________________________ | |
| jackcrossa ::: Favorites 2008-01-05 01:57:26 People have speculated Tiye was Nubian from her busts, but there is really no evidence that she was a foreignor as her family came from upper Egypt. She simply was an upper Egyptian, and unmistakeably black, (as was Tut's father Akhenaton). __________________________________________________ | |
| erikfofo ::: Favorites 2008-01-04 15:13:42 When I say white I mean that some Egyptians look like Southeuropeans (f.ex.Greeks or Turks), others like Arabs or Jews. That's enough to be white for me. I once knew an Egyptian who was married to my fathers sister, he looked like an Italian. So I don't understand how you can say that there are no white Egyptians. __________________________________________________ | |
| NaseerHammed ::: Favorites 2008-01-04 14:33:07 such a cool name such a dumb ass point of view though... but the name still rocks... but the coolness is outweighed by such a dumbass point of view. Peace out my nigga __________________________________________________ | |
| NaseerHammed ::: Favorites 2008-01-04 14:31:17 False, not white. The Greeks and romans who invaded egypt were not egyptians, they were europeans. The egyptians come in every color except white, and even saying black is a stretch, many african nationalist try to say that egyptians were black but they are refering to the nubians who are south of egypt but migrated and at one point ruled egypt for a small time as well. __________________________________________________ | |
| erikfofo ::: Favorites 2008-01-04 12:01:33 I'm not surprised by that, if you look at the genealogy of Tut's dynasty there was at least one black woman, as far I remember his grandmother, queen Tiye or something like that, was from Nubia, possibly also some of his other ancestors. Having said that, it doesn't necessarily mean that he was 'pure' black, Egyptians come in all colors, white, black, mulato, arabic/semitic. This is a very old phenomenon as can be seen by the great racial diversity shown in Egyptian art. __________________________________________________ | |
| jackcrossa ::: Favorites 2008-01-04 01:59:53 The bog mummies features are cleary European. The features of Tut's mummies are unmistakeably "Ethiopian" in comparison. As Susan Anton (anthropologist on American team working on Tut's mummy) pointed out, "The shape of (Tut's) cranial cavity indicated an African". :) __________________________________________________ | |
| erikfofo ::: Favorites 2008-01-02 13:48:59 Interesting. He looks like the bog mummies that we have been finding here in Denmark for many years. They are always black. So far noone has been crazy enough to claim that our Iron Age ancestors were blacks, though ;-) __________________________________________________ | |
