Luckily a Discovery Channel TV show accidentally leaked the info since Dr. Hawass seemed to be conspiring to conceal it. King Tut was a White European based on a 99.6% match of R1b haplogroup.

I wonder if that makes the people living in Egypt now unrelated to Pharaonic Egyptians?

Despite the refusal of the Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, to release any DNA results which might indicate the racial ancestry of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, the leaked results reveal that King Tut’s DNA is a 99.6 percent match with Western European Y chromosomes.

The DNA test results were inadvertently revealed on a Discovery Channel TV documentary filmed with Hawass’s permission — but it seems as if the Egyptian failed to spot the giveaway part of the documentary which revealed the test results.

Hawass previously announced that he would not release the racial DNA results of Egyptian mummies — obviously because he feared the consequences of such a revelation.

The significance is, of course, that R1b is the most common Y-chromosome haplogroup in Europe reaching its highest concentrations in Ireland, Scotland, western England and the European Atlantic seaboard — in other words, European through and through.

I knew it... King Tut was Irish!

Seriously though, I've read some material that one of the Irish sports, hurling, could of originated in Egypt.

The first written record of hurling is found in the Brehon Laws of the 5th century, which allowed for compensation to the family of persons killed in a hurling competition. Historians believe the game originated in Egypt, was brought to Ireland by the once nomadic Celts, and is the forerunner and inspiration for field hockey, ice hockey, and a little-known game called golf.

But if you're researching an ancient sport, tracing the origin is almost impossible. Hurling is one of these sports. Similar to a game depicted in ancient Egyptian cave drawings, dated circa 2000 BCE, hurling is considered to be the oldest Irish game. The first written record of this pre-Christian sport is a mention in the Brehon Laws, compiled during the 5th century.

Not saying there's any credibility in any of this though.

Sounds to me like the woo-woo express.

I hope that Dr. Hawass plans on sending some of that cool Egyptian loot he's been holding for us back to it's right full owners in Ireland. I guess the British Royal Museum need not feel guilty about their Egyptian collection.

o rly?

You're looking through the wrong end of the telescope, again. Correctly viewed, you is African.

"Accidentally leaked" yeah, like nobody noticed but the racists!

So, based upon one haplotype it has been declared he was European. What about the rest of his genome?

A very good question. I hope Dr. Hawass is more forthcoming with future information.

I certainly hope he wasn't a European, considering he was an inbred, sickly runt.

PS: Nice link you posted. Julius Streicher couldn't get "Der Stürmer" online?

Whoa friendo... how about you first provide any valid evidence at all that Dr. Hawass has not been forthcoming with the DNA information before you go claiming it as a fact.

All you have done so far is quote an unsupported opinion by someone going by the user name of 'Europe', who is also the author of many other over-the-top sensationalized supermarket tabloid bullshit opinion pieces such as:

Russia Orders Troops To Prepare For War With US

US tests bio weapons on citizens

Obama to snatch up to 75% of your income

Ugly Lebanese immigrant becomes first Muslim woman to be crowned Miss USA

And my personal favorite...

Murder Of Russian Scientist At US Weapons Lab Sparks 2012 Fears

Which claims a Russian “operative” posted at a United States space weapon laboratory was murdered because of "knowledge" she had gained about an American “inter-dimensional space communication” program and "crop circles".

An American “inter-dimensional space communication” program... for fuck's sake!!!


The "Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, [refusing] to release any DNA results which might indicate the racial ancestry of Pharaoh Tutankhamen" is nothing but an ignorant racist conspiracy theory.

Arthur Kemp liked the article too... so much in fact that he made it part of his blog verbatim without even the slightest attribution.

The promotion of white supremacist ideology is getting fucking old

I love this forum. In no other sphere of my life do I get to hear someone despairingly sighing "What about the rest of his genome?" and actually MEANING it!

Well, there are another 45 chromosomes to consider.

chairman bill, lol.

But tut tut.. surely this indicates that Western Europeans are really Egyptians..
Or Sudanese

Except it has not been established as fact yet that anyone was conspiring to to keep the DNA information secret.

Your assertion is nothing more than an appeal to Bat Boy.
