King Tut
Posted by shemote under Coincidence?
Has anyone been following this story? For the first time in history, King Tut’s face was revealed this week. Ancient Egypt is of course one of the places where one of the earliest writing systems was invented.

This reminded me of something I heard earlier this fall. NPR reported that the King Tut exhibition was prompting debate on his skin color. I believe scholars said the exhibition was depicting him to be “too white.” I will try to find the transcript.
5 minutes later. So, I couldn’t find that exact transcript, but here is something similar:
