What did King Tut look like?
They’ve finally figured out what the boy-king Tutankhamen looked like, based on 3D CT x-ray scans of his corpse:
Tutankhamen is believed to have died at the of 19 from an infection of his recently-broken leg over 3,300 years ago. Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, led a team to do the reconstruction for National Geographic. The resulting forensic recreations, as shown above, were validated by comparing them with an American team who was given only the data, and not even that the subject was Tutankhamen. Here is the bust they produced:
Since my comment thread has exploded into a flame war over the Caucasian or light-skinned features of the reconstruction, I will simply point you to the bust of Nefertiti, a period sculpture contemporary to King Tut. Belief that King Tut or the Egyptians conform neatly to modern monoracial bias is unreasonable in a scientific or social light.

This is fascinating. Didn’t the egyptians believe that he was a god?
kia ora whanae
how u all ?
well i have know idea what this is but u know what this really is so yea.
well hope use are having a fun day.
kae what do you know bout tutankhmun?
i am doing a project on him so i need as much information on him as i can get but there not much to say when this only shows how he might have looked like.
so um yeah my name is Cj and i live in lVn oR levin so yea holla us bk
well how u been ?? i have been great ae omg! i just got a txt from tutankhmun l0l
hahaha oh well im over wrighting l0l
just joking l0l im can keep talking foreva end eva
so how is your day i am so s
Yes.They believed all of the pharoahs were gods.They believed they were the god ‘Ra’ on Earth.
Sure yea he might look like that (A bit big headed) but that doesn’t answer my question of how he died??? So how did he?
either ina hunting accident or murderd
he died because he had an infection on his broken leg! god u dont read do u !
he has a pretty big head
Egyptians believed that siblings should marry eachother,so that can cause flaws in a person’s appearnce.
he looks like a bald girl with a big nose.
dudue im only on this web site cuse i have too for a project, but he looks like an ugly a** chick….
He was a young boy, so the effeminate appearance follows.
it is fasinating, any clue how they recreated him like that?
i really seriously do NOT! the THink that that is what king tut looked like NOT NOT NOT!
she is right it looks nothing like the statues and paintings of king tut, which depict him quite differently. but it is what i expect from a bunch of well….you can fill in the rest. I contest that the ancient people what sculpted, painted and hand crafted images of tut while he was alive are more accurate than those created today by individuals who are known to have biasis and nationalist agendas. I have been studying ancient egyptian culture since the age of 9, now working on a bach in Anthropology. I guess you can say im credible but crediable doesnt mean much these days. do some studying and judge for yourself i guess, just look at what the ancients thought he looked like.
cool.. it looks like a girl
no offense.
i need to write about him for my project.
maybe i will use that picture or a better one that doesn’t look like a girl
he looks sooo cool
I think that it really looks neat.It makes it look real. It really makes you wonder is that really what he looks like. I hope that it is what he looks like but, I know we won’t get to know because it happened a long time ago.
Strange he kinda looks like Boy George to me and very WHITE too WHITE for someone who lived in the desert, forensic sculptors use certain measurements and guidelines to determine race from skulls my understanding of this recreation is that it was one of a few that were made by more than one artist each artist was given a copy of his skull to work with some knew who they were recreating others did’nt I would love to see some of the other results to see how they resembled or differed from this version Egypt had both black and white dynastys thoughout their history so there was a good racial mix back then I dont think this is an honest portrayal at the very least I think he might have been olive skined but certainly not white, so I am afraid I have to agree with Ms Aqueelah when she says that this was “created today by individuals who are known to have biasis and nationalist agendas”.nuff said, peace
Nationalist agenda?. Maybe but his skin tone isn’t outside the boundaries of that found in current Egyptians. I personally think he would probably be darker. But if you look at the famous statue of Queen Nefertiti, pharoah Ahkenatens wife, he’s pretty close. The ancient Egyptians were multi racial: Cleopatra was a Greek and member of the Ptolemy dynasty set up after Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, Rameses the Great had long straight red hair, Amenhotep III one of the greatest of pharoahs in terms of art and public works had black African features and Ahkenaten the probable inventor of monotheism looked like an alien freak. There were times when Egypt was conquered by Semitic people for example the Hittites as well as people from Kush (Sudan) who were also used as mercenaries by many pharoahs so there was some mixing going on. Tuts head is malformed due to Egyptian standards of beauty. They like many cultures were into head shaping, ie binding the babies head soon after birth to create a “pleasing” shape.
I think this is a fine model of what Tutankhamen must have looked like. To answer anyones questions about his death, it has been scientifically suggested that King Tut died of a leg injury which caused gangrene to occur, which in return was the cause of his death. Most likely that it was caused his death.
This is sooo fascinating! Modern science is so amazing these days. To think that they could recreate a Pharoah’s face that ruled Egypt 3300 years ago!! wow
this looks ah-mazing!! and and people he has a big head cuz i read he had a tumar in his head but this pics is incredible!! GREAT JOB!
I love King Tut!
Now seeing his side you he’s cute!
Noone is perfect so leave his head alone.
He’s white because he was KING menaig he was inside all the time not outside. From the front view he’s hot!
I love his eyes!
He had no hair because men, boys were suppose to shave their hair off.
So, thank you very much.
This is REALLY amazing. It would be nice if we could see rhe front of his face. Thats just so amazing. I have always wondered how they could do that. A computerized image. Im doing a project on tut and thats just amazing. He went to the at age 8 and died around age 17 AMAZING
i think that lots of people just waste thier tim eby attempting to make someone look like they did back in the day. but these pictures are still pretty amazing
This is amazing! How could someone make that? It’s awesome. And for all u dodo heads out there, that’s the way they shaped their heads on purpose to look like royalty or stylish or something.
lol, losers, this is what King Tut looked like:
http://dsc.discovery.com/anthology/unsolvedhistory/kingtut/face/facespin.html
This is bullshit set up by white people, we all know there weren’t white people in africa until recently, get cha minds right…
Actually the last post is innacurate. Royal egyptians were kept out of the sun 90% of the time. They had fan bearers and canopy holders EVERYWHERE they went! Even on chariots they had someone there to shade them. "Dark skin" or tan as we call it was considered to be reserved for the lower class peasants. Of course a young boy like tut probably had somewhat of a tan, he would appear lightskinned, not black. However there are a few pharaohs in history that were most definitely black. His grandmother (or mother some say) had blue eyes…she was from a hyksos type country who were fair skinned and light eyed.
Hey everybody…king tut looks really cool, Im th biggest Ancient Egyptian Fan….First off Tutankhamun (pronounced TUT- AN-KHA-AMUN, NOT TUT-AN_KAMUN) was around the age 19 when he died not 17 like some idiot stated above,. second Tut was mix race and was probably had white features but in ancient art he is depicted as brown skinned or heavily tanned!!
The statement above say there were a "few" black kings of egypt…get your facts straigt friend. first off im not sayning that the Egyptian were a ALL black or ALL white civilization…That is stupid and pointless..Every Great civilization on Earth had influences of some what from different cultures..(the Romans, Egyptians, even the Chinese) any way the Ancient Egyptians had mor than a "FEW" black kings as a matter of fact antropopgy proves the ancient pre dynastic Egyptians were Negro blacks who migrated from the souhern Sahara…the religion and skulls prove it …many believe that Narmer the uniter of upper and lower Egypt was black as well as many others Khufu, Khafre, Amenhotep 3, Tye, and many others. dont start freaking out becuse i think many important Egyptian kings were white as well…probably the greatest king of all was king Ramses the 3rd who was a tall red haired white man….any way i think the Ancient Egyptians were a mix multiracial culture with many different etnic kings and royals.
I wish children wouldn’t comment on something that is meant to be taken seriously.
if the slaves were all dark skinned people
according to the bible the jew were inslaved by the egyptians
so that means the real jews are black
as it states jesus had skin the color of brass as if it was burned in a flame ( and if you just look at king tut mummy you will really see what he looks like not like that ******) they worshiped the why would they stay out of it.
they worship the sun god (RA) why would the stay out of the sun
they were scientist they knew dark skin (melonin) converted uv sun rays
into vitamin D (its was no such thing as sun block 4000 years ago.
they would have got sun cancer if they were light skined.
Are you so sure that King Tut looked like that?
Oh My Lord It’s Britney Spears !
Man you people A f******** stupid if you think fan bearers and canopy holders are going to protedect the sun from you!! This is bull**** set up by whites, if the Pharaohs were so damn white why the HELL did they depict themselves as brown or tan skinned! Geez get over yourselves…Not Every Great Culture was white! Why Dont You Take Your pale white aryan asses to Egypt and Try to wear the clothing the Ancint Egyptians wore, and dont put on any sunblock..and see just how sunburnt you people will get( oh and please bring a fu***** Fanbearer and Canopy and see just how much that Sh** helps! Fan Bearers and Canopys-ta-you people are fu***** stupid! and Im not saying the Egyptians were black..Im saying the Egyptians didnt look like some ****** *** aryan
What makes me laugh is that the only time you see Egyptians portayed as white was when they died.in the Book of the Dead.like a ghost or something! the only other time Egyptians were portayed as having light skin was the women..and that was a soft yellow color! Seems to me that these ancient aryan Egyptians sure hated white skin if they equated pale skin feminin or dececed. blows that Dark skin being reserved for pheasants bullshit out of the water!
King tutankhamun LOOKS LIKE A CHICK THIS IS NOT KING TUT
he has a very large head did anyone make fun of him in his own time.
first of all, why are people saying thats not what King Tut looked like? im pretty sure none of you guys have seen him in real life before. ITS A FREAKING COMPUTERIZED PICTURE!!!!!! they cant tell what he really looked like so this is an estimate based on the remains found in his tomb.
you guys realize how much time it took for them people to atleast guess how he looked. well if u guys tink that its @#%$!& just try to make one your selves. u @#!$%^&**&%#@!@!
love,
ALY
This is really cool =]
I was wondering…What is that red thing on his ear? Was that a mole, or was it something that occured when he died?
Oh yeah…I’m here because I’m doing a project just like JJ was two years ago (BORING!)
Modern anthropological revisionists (read that as errant black writers) think everyone who lives in Africa is black. How wrong, wrong wrong. Africa is a modern world, relatively speaking, and was meaningless to all the tribes and people on that continent, no matter what their ethnicity. Most of the northern tier of the continent was people for millenia by caucasians, semites, and even some far asian peoples. Yes, there were some “blacks” who were absorbed into the ancient land we now know as Egypt…Libya, but most of the latter day dark ethnics came due to Muslim slave trades. The movement of the engineering intellect went southward into Kush, that’s where they imitated the northern kingdom. For only a brief period did anyone of such dark ethncity have the throne in KMT. Black Americans would like to believe that the entire land was established by them. That’s simply NOT true…blacks were spear-chuckers then, just as they are today. Show me any other grand civilization of note in Africa which isn’t corrals or mud-huts and chucking spears? If you do, it was because whites/Europeans established it.
Every one needs to stop being so racist. Egyptians if anything looked more middle eastern than balck or white. King Tut probably did look like that and maybe he had olive toned skin like in the picture. Just because Egypt is in Africa, it doesn’t mean that Egyptians are black like some of you idiots think. Egyptians are not black. I would know because I am Egyptian!!!!! I am olive toned.
I think, although the skin colour is slightly off, its a pretty good attempt to reconstruct the boy King. Although he may be a little nerdy looking, I think they did a good job. You have to remember that the death masks and coffins were mostly an “idealised” version of the person. Now we really get to see him, face to face
You people and your ancestors again. All you ever talk about is whose ancestors were white and whose were black. What the fudge do you mean by white? Is it skin color? If it is, then you all need to go back to kindergarten and learn your colors again because you’re not seeing yourselves right in the mirror. What on god’s green earth do you mean by black? Is that a bone structure thing or a complexion thing? You don’t even know. Everyone one of you humans and your pagan worshing ancestors are absolutely ridiculous. None of you are white and none of you are black (maybe a small few truly have white skin or black skin). I just can’t figure out how you ended up calling yourselves that? What led you all to title yourselves as such? If your ancestors were white or black then I should see people that match the color of snow and people all over that match the night. But you’re all educated fools. You think you know everything, but you don’t know anything. I’m not the least bit surprised that you would all want to take credit for the ancestors who wouldn’t give a hoot about any of you if you were to live in their time. You see the buildings and structures a few men who thought it up and gave command for others to work on. None of you would want to bend your backs for a second to do that kind of work but yet you type messages to take credit for people who lived thousands of years ago. They’re all dead and don’t give a fig for what you all think but you bicker about it anyway. You act as if you own these ancestors. I have no clue what the people of that time would have looked exactly like for I was not there. It is evident that you all need to lean on the works of others to make yourselves look good. Just like their generation had passed away so will yours. Then you won’t have anything to argue about anymore. Your decendants will take that up after you’re gone. Foolish stupid humans. You want to be identified with humans that were evil and wicked in many ways, bowing down to gods they built with their own hands. Yet you profess how great their civilizations were and is. What great people would build their own gods? Temples all over the place for pretend gods. If they were great, they would have known the true god. They were just pieces on the board of the greater GOD’s plans. My God! The Eternal God! My civilization is greater than all yours put together so you can keep your ancestors in all their pretend colors. I just came across this site and thought it a great time to mention how pathetic you humans have become. Oh I lie! You got it from your heathen ancestors. But I still love you and hope you see the light! I do want the best for you all. As a daughter of the true King, I have authority to let you know. Don’t even try asking me how I know that he’s the true God. I know! I know fully well he is!
to the person above me^^
are YOU not HUMAN?…because thats kind of scary..!?!?
anyways, his head is shaped that way because his body wasnt normal he was a “god” and gods usually married gods…which usually were their family members
Tut married his sister. and his parents were siblings also. he had some weird body parts. his neck is unusually taller and longer..his arms were also short
he didnt have any mental problems just his body was a problem.
but people thought it was the most amazing thing “OMG thats how god looks like! i wish i looked like that…”

This is to Lisa:
Yours is the kind of statement I would expect from YOU HUMANS! Enjoy your debate!
WOAH… i think that this is realli kool
hes body probably decayed because hes been kept in a tombstone for like a long time and its realli kool that the scientists could make an accurate face that looks like his.
I like to learn about king tut because im half egyptian and half brown…ino haha
it would be soo kool if he was related to my family
…anyways king tut looks realli nice and people these days would look like that 2 ift hey shaved off all there hair so stop makin fun of him
This does not look anything like the death masks and statues done when Tut was living or recently dead. Get a book on TUT and you will see his death mask hasa black features with big lips. Also, go to a museum with a good Egyptian gallery and look at the hierglyphics and sculptures for yourselves–the ancient Egyptians depicted themselves as brown and the lightest color you would see is a yellow brown color for females. They do not depict themselves as white skinned EVER. The ancient Egyptians were not caucasians by any means. Even Herodatus, a Greek, described them as black people and he was back there. They were people of color and the 25th dynasty was black without question as Nubian kings conquered Egypt and ruled for 60 years and the subsequent Pharohs had their blood lines. Many of the subsquent queens were Nubian as well and many queens are depicting wearing eihter wigs in the Nubian style( ie, afro type curly wigs) or having hair in the Nubian style. Go and see for yourselves. What the white man is teaching is a lie, trying to co-opt a great ancient culture when the truth is that the white man was in the cave while the black and brown kings sat on the thrones in Egypt and Nubia.
He was from Africa but your argument sucks. What do current Egyptians look like?
Also, If the death masks were made to be scale and perfect imitations (skin color) – were his eyes really that big?
Get a life.
that is amazing
king tut is so cool!!!
very unattractive likeness of him. I wonder if he really looked like that. I noticed that a LOT of people were saying that it doesn’t look like him at all and I can’t help but wonder at what point in their life they actually MET king tut face to face to know that the above photo looks nothing like him. Hmmm maybe they’re just psychic. We will never know for sure what he looked like in life but it’s nice to have somthing to refer to. Much like Jesus….nobody knows what he looked like and all we have are the pictures circulated and what ppl have concocted in labs and presented on the discovery channel. I find it all VERY fascinating
He has the bone structue of an ethiopian. Whites are always portraying everything in their image. Blacks did exist,and you can clearly tell he was a black man.
What is this??????
This is so ridiculous that it’s like someone from the 17th century did it.
Egyptians ARE not and NEVER have been white
They are Afrikan people..not from Norway as depicted in this pathetic waste of time ‘reconstruction’. Somebody had too much time and money given to them.
This is as believable as Jesus with bright blue eyes…..oh wait, that’s how he ’s depicted.
People need to wake up to the modern world of acceptance that not all good things are European or ‘white’.
Celebrate Africa
Wow…Neferi…
“Just because Egypt is in Africa, it doesn’t mean that Egyptians are black like some of you idiots think,” you say… But why not?
Why are we “idiots” because we think Egyptians are Black? How are we even defining “Black” to begin with? I mean really, what are we saying here? By my definition, Egyptians are probably mixed people. That’s the case with almost any other coastal nation or country that borders with another nation/continent.
We must mean something other than skin tone. As I hope you know, lots of people who define themselves as Black actually have olived toned skin.
Talk about being racist…why are you so offended to be thought of as Black?
Tut is sooooooooooooooo Cute
hey michele how do you know that is’nt what he look like i dont think you were born in 1300bc
If you have a myspace look me up wayne@yahoo.com and tellme that yougotmynameof a king tut web sight
this is mostly as close as they will get to seeing his face so
you stupid people better back OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he looks like a girl to me and bald spots to me i think he lookes soooo much better and cuter!
hey guys if you really want the most realistic view of what the boy king looked like, go to this photo in the NYtimes. http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2007/12/14/world/1215-ETHIOPIA_index.html
Compare these two photos to the many images of the royal famlies in ancient egypt and tell me what you see. Take notice of the eyes and nose and especially the curls (hair). And for you real egyptologists compare the mouth to the actual pictures of the mummy of King Tut-ankh-amen, everyone in his immediate family was know to have an overbite.
Go here for a great atricle on what King Tut really looked like: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/456544/king_tuts_likeness_recreated_using.html?post=true&
And you can also SEE the image here: http://www.3demporium.com/king_tut.htm
he kinda looks like braxston shaw aka penut head.
Im from the middle east, the ancient egyptians did not look different then the present day egyptians. I am sick and tired of blacks with their afro centrism stealing our history. They even claim that elamites, hittites and babylonians were black. We middle easterners are not black and were never. The blacks you find in the middle east are the result of the slave trade from africa.
The only blacks in Egypt were slaves (as usual). If an Egyptian pharoah has his engineers build the Great Pyramids, and a foreman says to a bunch of black slaves, “Hey you, lift that block of stone over there and put it over there”, that does not equate with negroes “building the pyramids.” They were merely the manual labor rather than the architects behind the construction.
Similarly, blacks here like to say they “built America.” Well that’s true only in the sense that mules and oxen have “built America.” Blacks had no part ever in the intellectual aspect of building America, or Egypt, or any other great civilization. Their transparent attempts to hijack other magnificent cultures and claim them as their own only show their own shame at having accmplished nothing in all their time on this earth. Ancient Africa looked much like it does today– primitive and prehistoric. What progress was made under the European colonists has eroded back into the stone age under black self rule.
to malik and ‘gospel truth’ especially you malik, it is sad but not surprising, based on the lies you were taught in school and your ignorance which is evident that you decide to post such racist trash about black people. you should know that the ancient kingdom of Nubia is current day sudan, and that KING TUT is a direct descendant from Nubia, and that the BLACK Nubian pharaohs ruled egypt in conquest.
before that, EGYPT and Nubia were involved in trade for even longer.
it is an archeological fact that there are MORE pyriamids in sudan than there are in egypt, some of these were built as far back as the 1st dynasties in egypt. i agree that some black people are also ignorant and do not acknowledge the external influence of non black people on ancient egypt like the assyrians, and mesopotamians, but that is in defence of Historical lies and distortions that are still being fought today. and it is a bigger shame that people like Malik who say they are egyptian have not sought the truth at least.
for your information malik, black people from africa had crossed the atlantic into america way before chris coloumbus “discovered” america, AND there were black people in the middle east thousands of years before the slave trade…but again this shows your ignorance, because the slave trade in africa and the middle east also dates back to thousands of years, so to deny black presence in the middle east exposes your complete ignorance, and possible prejudice. you might as well stab yourself in the eye because it could be likely you have a black ancestor too.
racism will end when people open their eyes.
king tut looks like a messed up person.I think he should be in the world record book for the bigest nose ever.
I HATE KING TUT THE BUT
i love king tut i wish i was in egypt helping.i love doing reports on him.
i lhink king tut has a big noise to me i do not know about you.
he looks awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an outrage. This French bust looks more like Barbara Streisand than King Tut. Why do white people continue to try to doctor the truth? What is the big deal? It has already been established that Egyptian (or more properly KMT) dynasties 1-12 were solidly Black civilizations. It arose from the South as the Nile flows from the center of Africa, not the North. After the Hyksos were finally driven out Dynasty 18 was also a Black-run dynasty, along with the 25th dynasty. Following that, were more invasions and Egypt’s decline. Some of you guys have been watching too many 10 Commandments propaganda films. Sorry, the genie is out of the bottle and we wont allow history to be “whitewashed” for a second time.
to mr. cameron. hard for you to believe that the builders of the sphinx and pyramids are black, huh? i guess since there is no way the people of today can figure it out, a black man couldn’t possibly have done it, is your reasoning. well if my self esteem was built solely on my skin color, i would deny the facts too.
and nefari, you say you are ‘olived skinned’. the only olives i have seen are black or green. which color are you.
is this the real picture of him because i cant find any they be lying about stuff
of course this isn’t the right picture
Wow its quite amazing
occipital bun is huge..
Does it really matter what COLOR he was? I find the interesting thing about Tut is his unusually long neck, misshapen head and in some books it dipicts him as quiet , slow and not quite right.
That to me explains, as another blogger said, that when brothers and sisters marry(as gods did back then) doing that over and over , really screws with the line of a family. Also, the 2 fetuses found in his tomb with him were supposedly his 2 daughters which were either stillborn or miscarriages, which agian explains what can happen when people from the same lineage marry.
Thats my 2 cents.
What has this world come to? To be so consumed by ALL your conspiracies & fears. It’s amazing how far technology has come along but yet how repressed we keep ourselves. Does it always have to be a “black/white” situation? I’m so tired of it. To live in a place where the scientific term “black hole” is taken offensive & ignorant words are still spoken is amazing. If the slaves of all the generations before us were to be brought back to see the “progress” we’ve made, I don’t know if they would laugh in our faces or bow their heads in shame. SHAME ON US! When will we every grow past this. I am so disgusted by some of these remarks its incredible; & what’s worst is we don’t have anything to do with that era. Not one of you will ever know exactly what features or skin color King Tut had but yet you speak as though this has any significance in your day to day lives. We will never come together with hatred in our hearts.
May the Lord forgive us
that is wierd and ugly and gross and it looks like a girl or womam!
Here we go again ! I have to educate illiterate racists. First off the Ancient Egyptians (note ancient) were black because Petri,and the great Greek Historian assert it so. The Greek historians assert tha the Aethiopians not the Eithiopians colonized Egypt. The Aethiopians were south of Nubia and that means that tthey were negro-types.The Nubians as the Lybians have been ancient trade partners with the Egyptians. Do no confuse the ancient Egyptian race with the Arabs of Egypt today. The ancient consited of many ethnic groups that compiled the Egyptian race. Slaves did not build the pyramidsa because ancient records prove that the builders were paid. Tere are 120 pyramids in Egypt but some 900 from Acient Black Nubia. The Nubians conquered and ruled Egypt for 100 years as the 25th Dynasty.The Nubians beat back the lybians the Assyrians and made peace with the Romans. All i hear in most of you arguments is speculation and stupid racists ramping. As for America Blacks have been here long before many Euro-types who fought with and against the British brought culture and harmony to a land stolen from a people who had acivilization far advanced while Europe was in the dark ages.Black brought to America werte not slaves but were descendant of Mali, Ghana and the Songa Empires mof the so called western Sudan.I emplore yo to read some books and find out that the Ancient Egyptians are a people not to be characterized as a color or a race but a people who contributed to mordern civilization…but know this , if they were not black then they were close enough an western societies have always considered an admixer of black and anything else as being black . That is where your racists hipocrazy nip you in the bud!
people believed that king tut died by his step mother,heshepsut because she wanted to still be pharoh. Because before king tut was crowned king she diskiced herself as a man to take place of her nephew.
this is amazing but he looks like a girl srry

that pharaoh had long eyelashes when he was alive… im jealous!
White?…Black?… The evidence is overwhelming by looking at the art and monuments that were created… thats not black art.
I think King Tut is really ugly I know its horrible but I thought because he is King he would be more good looking Lol what does everyone else think???? x
what the hell is the matter with black people? dumbfucks wanna claim every important figure was black! they wanna claim jesus was black, they wanna claim the person who invented the light bulb was black, they wanna claim the people of egypt was black, DUMBASSES EGYPTIANS ARE CLEARLY PLAIN AS DAY NOT BLack, like goober says ITS ALL IN ANCIENT ART! its pathetic how jealous black people are that the most they every did was create peanutbutter! stop trying to change history and say everyone was black, you wanna call this racist, what about all you god damn niggers that cant accept the truth that he looked more middle eastern? its racist that all you black people cant believe that anyone with power was another color than you, which the truth is EVERYONE THAT WAS EVER POWERFUL WASNT YOU! GET THE **** OVER IT!
and i disagree, I think he looks ALOT like his death masks, only hes not wearing his crown thingy, and not to mention I highly doubt they did a molding of his face, here it IS a molding of his face and leftovers from his body, ACCEPT IT LIVE WITH IT LOVE IT, this is amazing we can do this, and not to mention about color, but in the pictures here, HIS SKIN ISNT WHITE AT ALL NEITHER ARE HIS FACIAL FEATURES YOU NIGGERS ARE JUST MAD THAT HES NOT BLACK, YOU NIGGERS ARE MORE RACIST THAN ANY OTHER RACE ON EARTH!
