Tut being so is very doubtful- he's one of the last members of a dynasty that married with a lot of other people in the area, and, well, we have art of how they painted his skin color, and it was *quite* tan.
But something I want to point out, there were 32 dynasties of Paraohs, minimum (there's at least one, maybe more, likely-to-have-existed-short-lived ones). As in, 32 entire different families. Several of which from other areas originally like Greece or Kush (A Kingdom that lasted for about 700 years in what is now Sudan), over a period of over three thousand years.
There are ones who were dark skinned, light skinned, in between, quite a variety. Lots of ethnicities.
People do underestimate just how *big* Egyptian history is.

Considering his bloodline's penchant for sexing and marrying their own relatives; especially siblings, he was probably a white guy from the South.
If he were high on his own smug and thought himself better than the rest of society I'd assume that he probably resided in Cali, though. Seems to be common with those people. 😄

Word. If he were a biggoted white guy who pretended to be cosmopolitan and feigned tolerance while refusing to associate with any other races I'd think he was probably from NY or Boston.If he were high on his own smug and thought himself better than the rest of society I'd assume that he probably resided in Cali, though.

Would it have been so strange for ancient Egypt to have been one if not the first racial melting pots known to man? The climate is certainly ideal for most if not all, and why would interracial relationships shock so many? People are people after all, and time isn't going to change the idea that White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Indian and every other ethnicity in between has people that are extremely attracted to people outside of their common circle. My great grand father on my mothers side was a very pale skinned Caucasoid from Scotland, but you'd never know this by looking at me. My grandmother from my fathers side is 100% Cherokee Indian and she married a Black man, my mother then married a Cherokee Indian Man. My point is that these types of things have been going on for a very long time.
Why would this somehow indicate that all Anglo Saxons were from Egypt, when all we need do is realize that interracial couplings are even more ancient than Egypt itself? Could this somehow play into Tut's DNA being what it is? A lot of people should actually go and get themselves tested. I'm almost certain that many will be surprised by the findings to say the least.
