I hit a nerve. -Of course it has been speculated by Keita the other lines could be "African" but it hasn't been proven nor does he mean necessarily what we think of as "black African." Obviously black lineage is not excluded, not my intention. For instance, the inconclusive studies of Tut: Forensic artists and physical anthropologists from [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt"] This content is protected [/ame], [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France"] This content is protected [/ame], and the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States"] This content is protected [/ame] independently created busts of Tutankhamun, using a [url] This content is protected [/url] of the skull. Biological anthropologist Susan Anton, the leader of the American team, said the race of the skull was “hard to call.” She stated that the shape of the cranial cavity indicated an African, while the nose opening suggested narrow nostrils, which is usually considered to be a [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe"] This content is protected [/ame] characteristic. The skull was thus concluded to be that of a [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Africa"] This content is protected [/ame].[url] This content is protected [/url] Other experts have pointed out that neither skull shapes nor nasal openings are a reliable indication of race.[url] This content is protected [/url] -More on multiple lines...from Keita whom I hope you are familiar with. Several anthropologists have identified northern and southern craniometric patterns in the Egyptian population of the early predynastic period, which Keita describes as "northern-Egyptian-Maghreb" and "tropical African variant" (overlapping with Nubia/Kush) respectively. He shows that a progressive change in Upper Egypt toward the northern Egyptian pattern takes place through the predynastic period, though the southern pattern continues to predominate in [url]Abydos[/url] in [url]Upper Egypt[/url] by the First Dynasty but lower Egyptian, [url]Maghreb[/url] and [url]European[/url] patterns are also observed thus making for a great diversity.[url][32][/url] [url]][/url] In summary, ancient Egypt is thought by many scholars to have been a melting pot of various Nile Valley, North African, Saharan and Levantine peoples since earliest times -Love the name calling BTW, keep it up, it makes you look foolish.
I find it hilarious that you can see the color of his eyes while @ the same time completely miss the color of his SKIN.
It saddens me that the extent to which you are capable of doing research is a lowly Wikipedia article. But you know what? I can quote Wikipedia TOO; Seems like you forgot a part. Truly SAD....
-That paragraph was heavily sourced..Wikipedia is not a source itself. -And Wow, you cracked the puzzle with that quote! They guessed on color when creating the model! You have proved King Tut was indeed a modern Negro, bravo! I mean I personally thought it was irrelevant since the point was that this skull had European and African characteristics and an exact ethnic pinpoint is inconclusive. But man, that last part really puts it all in pespective, well done. :|
-I'm not writing a college paper, I'm a troll on a boxing site. atsch -The better written Wikipedia articles are well sourced and its easy to link to on the net. The paragraph in question was one that happened to be extensively sourced without any original research. The findings it discusses did not materialize from thin air, you can trace the sources if you so wish. -Anyway, I'm done with this nonsense. I proved my point...not that the Egyptians were white, black, or tan..but that it matters more than it should to you. I have a feeling that if it came out for a fact that the man in your avatar was caucasiod (white, north african..etc.) you would sadly not have the same interest and curious since of pride on the subject.
