DNA Tribes has effectively put to rest the idea that the Amarna period Egyptian royals were some sort of foreign Caucasian migrants of Aryan heritage. The results are even more surprising since the affiliation of the genes are with groups completely outside of any ambiguity of back-migration admixture.
However, did we really need this genetic analysis? Did we really need the reconstructure of King Tut's face to revealed his phenotype? What has always bothered me is how contentious and seemingly obsessive this subject has been. King Tut's mask is probably one of the best preserves replicas of an Ancient Egyptian and it seems to be completely ignored? Why recreate a face that we have a very good understanding of how the person looked? But then all the strange talk about Marfans disease and alien invasion, it seem people simply lose their minds when it comes to Egypt.
Isn't the answer on their African identity quite clear enough?
All of this for what is quite obvious but the implications hard for the Western world to accept.

Just don't understand the silence. African Americans were protesting in the streets over the depiction of King Tut as non-Black. Why isn't there some Black anchor or newspaper willing to take a risk with this report?
The only newspaper I have seen that has picked this up only referenced Dienekes who mentions nothing but that "there is certainly something African about these mummies".
Happy New Years

Which newspaper would that be?

Happy new year.
You're making the assumption that this news has reached that many (African American) people, or even that (African American) people in general give 2 flufs about it, outside of finding it interesting.
I get the feeling that the attention given to this report in the future will expose the oft mentioned Euronut sentiment that African Americans are ''obsessed with claiming civi's outside West Africa'' as dead wrong, as quite frankly, if my social circle is anything to go by (not African Americans but diasporal blacks nonetheless), most find it interesting, but they most certainly wouldn't go outside of their way to habitually research it on internet or elsewhere.

LOL, don't know if you all remember but this (excessive thread making) is exactly what happened after the fake STR coincidentally *cough cough* ''happened'' to be translatable to R1b.
Confirming Truth, Charles Darwin is a distant cousin to King Tut; R1b lineage
Osirion, Hittite Infiltration into the Royal lineage
Clyde Winters, King Tut Y-Chromosome =African Origin
White Nord, King Tut was officially 'White'[/b
[b]Confirming Truth, HAHA! The DNA results were actually revealed! King Tut is European
This is just scratching the surface.

^ still think Hittite yDNA made it into the royal lineage via infidelity.
Autosomes are not sex chromosomes.

^ Autosomes are not sex chromosomes but like all chromosomes they are still inherited. By the way, I can't help but to think this vexation over Hyksos lineages in Egypt is part of your twisted way of claiming Jewish ancestry among Egyptians. Last time I checked Hyksos does not = Jewish. Posts: 26280 | From: Atlanta, Georgia, USA | Registered: Feb 2005

^ Jew is just a nickname given to a fanatically religious group of Levantine people. Hyksos were people of the Levant and some of them would later be called Jews but most of them are now Mulsims.

Just like Greeks may have an Ethiopian sex chromosome, it is rather apparent that Greeks are not Ethiopians.
Sex chromosomes only tell you about a very small sliver of your ancestry unless you are still in the original population from whence your sex chromosome was derived.
But you know that. King Tut can be R1b as in NW European origin sex chromosome and yet be very much genetically related to Central and West Africans.
