Results of formal tests of the Egyptian government
No. 58 From 25 / 4 at 1 / 5 / 2000

SOME GENETIC FEATURES OF ANCIENT EGYPTIANS

As part of research conducted by the Cairo University in collaboration
with the Higher Council of Antiquities, it has been possible to achieve the
anthropological characteristics of the Pharaohs.

According to preliminary indications, we reached a number of traits of the
Pharaohs. It was possible to identify genes for size, color and eye color and
hair of the king in the Pharaonic era in which samples were collected. They
were placed on mummies in sarcophagi. A group of researchers has been
able to separate those genes that have proven that the ancient Egyptians
were not taller as previously thought. Their size was rather average, with
the exception of Ramses II, whose analysis of genes has proven to be cut.

It has also been demonstrated that his skin was brown and his hair was black,
not red. The color red has been found on his mummy is due to a dye (probably henna).
His eyes were black with a slight tinge of brown.

Amenhotep III was short of stature, the color of his skin was a light brown.
His eyes and his hair was black dark. These features show that the kings were
related. All the kings at that time had a common origin in the family tree of the
royal family. It is possible to determine a precise dates and times in the future.
This research will confirm certain anthropological traits that have been studied
before on the Pharaonic mummies. This will give preliminary indications about
the traits, diseases and characteristics of the Pharaohs.

community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting
other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

In 2000, the University of Cairo and the Egyptian government through the Department of
Egyptian Antiquities officially conducted a comprehensive genetic study of pharaonic royal
mummies, including that of Ramses II. The results of this study was officially published in the
"Letter from Cairo" No. 58, April 25 to May 1, 2000.

The earliest accessibility to items posted on http://www.sis.gov.eg/En/Default.aspx appears to
be the year 2006...

Has anyone been able to verify that this document is authentic? The only reference I can find for it is AfricaMaat where it is "claimed" that the document was copied from the website it is attributed to. I can find no other references for it online and I have read that the Egyptian government was not allowing DNA tests of mummies during this time.
