There is disagreement beween scientist on whether Tut is Negroid or " caucasaid north african" (?).
Latest model of King Tut was done with CT scans by American, French and Egyptian scientist. But 2 years earlier scientistfrom New Zealand, Britain and Africa portrayed Tut as Negroid for Discovery Channel documentary.
The conrtoversey seems unnessary given there is art that show King as Black. Professor Manu Amplim sais artists and sculptors of Tut's time left " 1st hand evidence" of Tuts blackness in paintings and sculptures.
Why is it necessay to make computer generated version to subvert idea that Egypt was governed by peple of color? Coincidence that Great Spinx and others have noses and lips broken off? Could be attempt to whiten Egypyt which is considered mother of Western Civilization?
Think about it, writings of Herdotous, Greek historian in 5th century BC and other historians of time, referred to Egytians as having thick lips, dark skinn and whooly hair
I think it's irreelvanet what colour he was, I also think it's a bit disrespectfull when we dig up these people.
However Malcolm the Sphinx and statues like that have not had thier noses broken off in some great white supremacy superplan, the reason the sphinx is so damaged is because it is being eroded, when the winds pick up the sand blasts off it and that chips away at the stone, in 75 - 100 years the sphinx wont be there.
Heck have you considred becoming a history teacher? What with your Titanic and Napolean theroies it would be a laugh.
I can't believe Napolean dared to shoot the nose of the sphinx, damned Frechie surrender monkey to scared to challenge the sphinx face to face. Don't like what I said well you know what you can go pound.

Actually, that's a great idea!
Turthfully, it is generally assumed but held up to some historical conjecture that Napoleon and his troops shot off the nose, but they did use it for target practice.
As for my Titantic comments, well, again I guess no one reads my blog...
Cmon guys dont be silly. Napolean didnt shoot the Sphinx, armies under his command did it. Napolean was busy back in France repressin bruthas and forming the NAZI party
I have not heard of the Napolean theory I will look into it. the only theroy I have hard is that the sphinx is being eroded the eys and the beard are alomost gone. try and picyuers of it 50 years ago and toady and you can see where the sand has chipped parts of it off.
Is the sphinx meant to act as a guardian over the pyriamid's or something like that?
