[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by blackman: [qb] lioness, Here is more for you to chew on, although it may be hard for you to digest. http://www.clegg.tv/tutsblackroots4.htm King's Tut Mother "Anthropologist Ivan Van Sertima refers to queen Tiye as "the Negroid mother of Tutankhamen;"32 and historian Alexander von Wuthenau states that Tiye was of "pure black stock." King's Tut Father "Egyptologists Cyril Aldred and A.T. Sandison note that Akhenaton's "face is shown to be elongated with a prominent prognathous or progeniac jaw, large full lips, a coarse nose, large ears, and oblique eyes."35 Another Egyptologist, William Osburn, observes that the pharaoh's "dusky complexion, high cheekbones, projecting jaws and thick lips, call forcibly to mind the features of the true Negro." [/qb][/QUOTE]You can't go by sculptures like this obviously it's highly stylized, no person actually looks like this, the narrow head: [IMG]http://egregores.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/akhenaten1.jpg[/IMG] _____________________________________________ But a person could look like this: [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/31/Akhenaten_with_blue_crown.jpg/449px-Akhenaten_with_blue_crown.jpg[/IMG] Akhenaten with blue crown __________________________________________ The wood bust of Tut is not as realistic as this stone sculpture: [IMG]http://www.ancient-egypt.co.uk/luxor_museum/images/tutankhamun%20as%20amun%202.jpg[/IMG] Luxor museum/tutankhamun -actually he looks higher percentage black here than in the wood bust. That wood bust doesn't look like a black person apart from the skin tone. Overall, with all the images I've seen Tut looks part black to me. ___________________________________________ [IMG]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4A9r9yKkkNs/SbmnaRmz6MI/AAAAAAAACSQ/Q2lyG9I1pLI/s400/Michelle-Obama-Queen-Tiye.jpg[/IMG] u think I look like this Tiye chick?
