what happend to racial reality? and all the other sites you had?
we can't rely on his skin colour, can we?! as far as i know it could be any other tone of colour! 
The image of the boy king appears to be tainted. Yet no doubt about his African roots from this image.
Egypt wasn't invaded by Rome until 300 BC--where did the white King Tut come from--well, it was invented by the French and National Geographic. Egypt was invaded by the Hyskos around 1700 BC, but they are decisively Negro in appearance if you go to the Tour of Egypt website. Egypt has always been a part of Africa, and King Tut was an African King.
Marvellous matter! Congratulations to you all. I've been into Racial Reality website for years, and it never disappointed me in any way. I'm a caucasian Alpine-Med guy from Brazil, Northern Italy/Northern Portugal ancestry, by the way, and it's nice to see that you're clarifying the dark rumours about racial situation of Brazil. Splendid report about Tut King, I'm amazed with the technology applied on his face reconstruction. Bye!
These so-called reconstructions prove nothing except that caucasoids wish Tutankhamen (and ancient Egyptians generally)was white. A CT scan does not reveal skin color yet each caucasoid forensic fabricator assumes a pale complexion. This assumption reveals both racial bias and intentional avoidance of known scientific tests that could easily reveal the truth. Bone structure as an indicator of race has long been discarded as unreliable. If they really wanted to know the skin color of Tutankhamen they would do a simple melanin dosage test on a square millimeter of his mummified flesh. If they really wanted to know his racial/ethnic identity they would test his DNA. The fact that they refuse to perform the proper scientific tests and use a false method to determine skin color/race is in and of itself an admission that they fear Tutankhamen, like the original Egyptian, was a Black man.

Looks Caucasoid of Mediterranean influence to me. Skull shape, high cheek bones. Cranial capacity is large. Negroids don't have the curvature at the back of the skull, it goes straight up because of their smaller skull capacity.
Egyptians were not black. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Look at the paintings on the walls in the burial chambers. They were definitely NOT negroes. In fact there are paintings and carvings of negroes on those same walls - being used as slaves and run over by chariots.They look nothing like the people driving the chariots and whipping the slaves. You poor deluded souls who want so bad to have some kind of culture are trying to steal what was not yours. Of course that is no surprise.
Black comes in all shapes and colors and features, etc. I am AA and my family have various features. This king Tut could be one of my relatives.
This image is ridiculous people. And I am tired of Dr. Zahi Hawass and his crew always trying to eliminate the black influence from Egypt. We already have images of his face. Look at the death mask. It looks nothing like this face. Also, on the back of his throne, he left no doubt as to what his color was. He was a very dark brown (black) person . Last but not least, look at the torso of Tutankhamun. This sculpture's face shape is not only consistently accurate with the aformentioned but the color of the statue comes up once again as black.
Listen, I'm not a racist but I do get tired of closed minded pseudo intellectual whites talking about the Egyptians weren't black. Just do some real research before you come on and discuss these matters.
"Just do some real research before you come on and discuss these matters."
They have done research. Egyptians generally did not look Negroid and made a distinction between themselves and sub-Saharan Africans. That is why Egyptologists continue with their representations. However, did some of the Egyptians whose history we know of have black, as in Negroid, ancestors? Yes, because some of these black people are represented in sculpture and painting, such as Queen Tiy, I believe.
However, the argument really is, did black, sub-Saharan Africans INVENT the pyramids and other artififacts of the cultures. I would say no. No evidence. No sub-Saharan black people has manifested that kind of technological innovation, discipline, or focused, sustained work-a-holic drive necessary for those attainments. After all, we see blacks on the streets of America and everywhere else using cell phones, driving cars, wearing suits. Some make 100,000 dollars a year yet their kids need affirmative action to get into college. Their contribution to modern western culture? Well, that can be debated, but they didn't invent any of it except maybe for some music forms which also owe much to Europe. Todays culture comes from Europeans no matter how many blacks come to America or Europe. Yes, Europeans studied at universities invented and influenced by Arabs in the 12th century, but where did all that learning take the Arabs by the 16th century?
So in the end, what do we have. Some ancient Egyptians, probably including King Tut, who have a sub-Saharan black in their ancestry. So do Obama and Colin Powell. Yet neither one of those gentleman really contributed much to the development of modern western civilization. Who cares if some ancient Egyptians had some black ancestors. It still doesn't make Egypt a "black" civilization.
I arranged for a small group from out of town to see your Tutankhamun exhibition. I purchased 5 full packages. Audio, movie and Tutankhamun exhibition. At the end, it was asked to one of your associates did we miss a room containing the Headliner of the tour/exhibition King Tut? To my group's dismay and those in hearing distance Tut, the golden mask that adorned Tut's inner Coffin and Coffin were not here. At the onset false advertising and Fraud was the topic for the group and it spilled into the gift shop.Tutankhamun exhibition involves the deliberate misrepresentation of the truth, also several items in the exhibition was recreated...informing the unknowing public of the deception awaits them at the Dallas Museum.

When first unwrapped Tutankamun was described as a whitish grey colour.
As far as I know human skin only ever darkens after death, it doesn't lighten.
His nose is also somewhat crushed by the tightness of his wrappings.
Afrocentrists, get over it.
Afrocentrics? Get over it. You have no more claim to egypt than we caucasians have to ancient china. The egyptians, like now, have always been white mediteranean, with a small degree of negroid ancestry. Stop your idiocy. If the egyptians were black, why do egyptian texts speak of the pharaohs trampling 'wretched' blacks, conquering 'filthy' dark skinned 'barbarians'? Hmm?
Afrocentrics? How strange, that these negroids seem to have created every civilisation eveywhere, but never founded even one civilisation in their native sub-saharan africa. Interesting.
Some of you Afrocentrists really are ill-informed.
First of all, to the poster who claimed that "Egypt wasn't invaded by Rome until 300 BC," is an idiot. Greeks invaded Egypt in the 4th century B.C., Romans didnt take it over until the 1st century B.C. Second of all, the Hyskos were from western Asia, not Africa. They were not black.
Also, to the poster saying that:
"Black comes in all shapes and colors and features, etc. I am AA and my family have various features. This king Tut could be one of my relatives."
... you need to realize that most black americans are mixed with white and native american, very few are "pure" black. That is why their coloring and physical features vary. Go to sub-saharan Africa, most true blacks share a common Negroid appearence because they are largely descended from one people - the Bantu.
Egyptians were not Negroid. Were there Negroids living in Egypt? Yes. But all the available evidence points to them playing a meager role (except for a brief time when blacks from Nubia conquered Egypt). As a poster above mentions, there are negroids living in modern-day Europe as well, but that does not imply that they founded European society. The creators of Egyptian civilization, those who layed the blueprints for its success, were Caucasoid peoples, not much different than other indigeous mediterraneans. Does this mean they were white? Well that all depends on one's definition of white.
The term white is a social contruct that from a Western point of view means nothing more than a light-skinned caucasiod. Since Europeans are often lighter skinned than other Caucasiods, like say Arabs or Indians, the concept of "white" is usually applied to the former group. But the terms does not have to limited to that. Since the identity of a "white person" can vary, I'll leave that up to the individual to decide if whether the ancient Egyptians fit into this category.
DNA evidence suggests that modern Egyptians are roughly about the same as the ancients. Some Afrocentrists claim that modern Egyptians are Arabs, and do not reflect the appearence of Ancient Egyptians, however this argument is false. It is not so much that Egyptians mixed with the conquering Arabs, or were replaced by them, they just adopted the Arabic culture, language, and religion (Islam). Their genes did not alter that much. If anything, modern Egyptians are probaly darker than ancient Egyptians becasue of the more recent immigration to the country from sub-saharan Africa.
This is the problem with Egyptology and really Anthropolgy in general. Broad racial terms like Sub Saharan & Bantu Negroids to describe all Blacks in Africa to exclude them from any possible connections to Ancient Egyptian racial origins. They use the stereotypical "Negroid" classification to respresent all Blacks. Of course Ancient Egyptians didnt look like West African Nigerians(No more than Northern Europeans like Norwegians look like the Ancient darker mixed Southern Mediterranean Romans but there all still classified as White) but compare some Ancient Egyptians to Black populations in North East Africa like Ethiopia,Eritrae,Northern Sudan & Somalia there a lot harder for Eurocentric Scientist to broadly exclude because here you have a vast diversity of Blacks with many stereotypically Non Negroid features whether their supposedly mixed or not just like Mediterranean Europeans all are but irregardless ...
Ive seen Nubian children with wavy Blonde & Red hair,Somalians with Caucasoid facial features long noses & thin lips who except for color are indinstinguishable from European faces and Ethiopians-Eritraeans who are the exact same Brown complexion & facial features as the Ancient Egyptians were like King Tut,Ahmes Nefatari etc. I'm not saying all Ancient Egyptians were originally Black I believe they had mixture with Middle Eastern people too especially in the North but I certainly dont believe they were this 100% White Caucasoid race that you all claim living in Africa 5,000 years ago either they were in my opinion of mixed NorthEast African origin as well And Egyptian legends themselves say they came from the South which would certianly be consistent with Southern Egypt,Sudan & the Horn of Africa.
According to the reconstruction, King Tut is obviously not Black, nor close to a large Black percentage.
Although he appears darker than what many Whites prefer, he is still Caucasoid. He has Caucasian facial features, if the reconstruction explains anything.
As already mentioned, skin color matters less than skeleton features in terms of classification. Believe it or not, dark skin isn't a quality specific to Negroids and those descended from them.
