�� Commentary ‑‑ Direct Evidence of Fair Hair and Blue Eyes in Ancient Egypt

�� The mummy of the wife of King Tutankhamen has auburn hair. (61) A mummy

�� with

�� red hair, red mustache and red beard was found by the pyramids at Saqqara. (62)

�� Red‑haired mummies were found in the crocodile‑caverns of Aboufaida. (63) The

�� book HISTORY OF EGYPTIAN MUMMIES mentions a mummy with

�� reddish‑brown hair. (64)

�� the mummies of Rameses II (65) and Prince Yuaa (66) have fine silky yellow

�� hair. The mummy of another pharaoh, Thothmes II, has light chestnut‑colored

�� hair. (67)

�� An article in a leading British anthropological journal states that many

�� mummies have dark reddish‑brown hair. (68) Professor Vacher De Lapouge

�� described a blond mummy found at Al Amrah, which he says has the face and

�� skull

�� measurements of a typical Gaul or Saxon. (69) A blond mummy was found at

�� Kawamil along with many chestnut‑colored ones. (70) Chestnut‑haired mummies

�� have been found at Silsileh. (71) The mummy of Queen Tiy has "wavy brown hair."

�� (72) Unfortunately, only the mummies of a very few pharaohs have survived to

�� the 20th century, but a large proportion of these are blond.

�� The Egyptians have left us many paintings and statues of blondes and redheads.

�� Amenhotep III's tomb painting shows him as having light red hair. (73) Also,

�� his features are quite European. A farm scene from around 2000 B.C. in the tomb

�� of the nobleman Meketre shows redheads. (74) An Egyptian scribe named Kay at

�� Sakkarah around 2500 B.C. has blue eyes. (75) Here is a picture of him:

�� http://www.delphi.com/redramesses/messages/?msg=21.1

�� The tomb of Menna (18th Dynasty) at West Thebes shows blond girls. (76) The

�� god

�� Horus is usually depicted as white. He is very white in the Papyrus Book of the

�� Dead of Lady Cheritwebeshet (21st Dynasty), found in the Egyptian Museum in

�� Cairo. (77)

�� A very striking painting of a yellow‑haired man hunting from a chariot can be

�� found in the tomb of Userhet, Royal Scribe of Amenophis II. (78) The yellow‑

�� haired man is Userhet. The same tomb has paintings of blond soldiers. The tomb

�� of Menna also has a wall painting showing a blond man supervising two dark‑

�� haired workers scooping grain. (79)

�� The Funerary stele (inscribed stone slab) of Priest Remi clearly shows him as

�� having red hair, (80) although he couldn't have been a priest of Set at such a

�� late date. A common good luck charm was the eye of Horus, the so‑called

�� Wedjat

�� Eye. (81) The eye is always blue, and the word "wedjat" means "green" (or

�� blue?) in Egyptian. A very attractive painting is found on the wall of a

�� private tomb in West Thebes from the 18th Dynasty. The two deceased parents

�� are

�� white people with black hair. Mourning them are two pretty fair‑skinned girls

�� with light blond hair and their red‑haired older brother. (82)

�� Queen Thi is painted as having a rosy complexion, blue eyes and blond hair.

�� (83) She was co‑ruler with her husband Amenhotep III and it has been said of

�� their rule. "The reign of Amenhotep III was the culminating point in Egyptian

�� history, for never again, in spite of the exalted effort of the Ramessides, did

�� Egypt occupy so exalted a place among the nations of the world as she had in

�� his time." (84) Amenhotep III looks northern European in his statues.

�� Paintings of people with red hair and blue eyes were found at the tomb of Bagt

�� in Beni Hassan. (85) Many other tombs at Beni Hassan have paintings of

�� individuals with blond and red hair as well as blue eyes. (86) Paintings of

�� blonds and redheads have been found among the tombs at Thebes. (87) Blond

�� hair

�� and blue eyes were painted at the tomb of Pharaoh Menphtah in the valley of the

�� Kings. (88) Paintings from the Third Dynasty show native Egyptians with red

�� hair and blue eyes. (89) They are shepherds, workers and bricklayers.

�� A blond woman was painted at the tomb of Djeser‑ka‑ra‑seneb in Thebes. (90) A

�� model of a ship from about 2500 B.C. is manned by five blond sailors. (91) The

�� god Nuit was painted as white and blond. (92) A painting at the tomb of

�� Meresankh III at Giza, from about 2485 B.C., shows white skin and red hair.

�� (93) Two statues from about 2570 B.C., found in the tombs at Medum, show

�� Prince

�� Rahotep and his wife Nofret. He has light green stones for eyes. She has violet‑

�� blue stones. (94) A painting from Iteti's tomb at Saqqara shows a very Nordic‑

�� looking man with blond hair. (95) Grafton Smith mentions the distinctly red

� ��hair of the 18th Dynasty mummy Henutmehet. (96)

�� Harvard Professor Carleton Coon, in his book THE RACES OF EUROPE, tells us

�� that "many of the officials, courtiers, and priests, representing the upper

�� class of Egyptian society but not the royalty, looked strikingly like modern

�� Europeans, especially long‑headed ones." (Note: Nordics are long‑headed.) (97)

�� Long‑headed Europeans are most common in Britain, Scandinavia, the

�� Netherlands,

�� and northern Germany.

�� I repeat MANY OF THE OFFICIALS, COURTIERS, AND PRIESTS,

�� REPRESENTING THE UPPER

�� CLASS OF EGYPTIAN SOCIETY ... LOOKED STRIKINGLY LIKE MODERN

�� EUROPEANS

�� Time‑Life books put out a volume called RAMESES II THE GREAT. It has a good

�� picture of the blond mummy of Rameses II. Another picture can be found in the

�� book X‑RAYING THE PHARAOHS, especially the picture on the jacket cover. It

�� shows his yellow hair.

�� A book called CHRONICLE OF THE PHARAOHS was recently published

�� showing

�� paintings, sculptures and mummies of 189 pharaohs and leading personalities of

�� Ancient Egypt. Of these, 102 appear European, 13 look Black, and the rest are

�� hard to classify. All nine mummies look European.

�� A recent discovery of Egyptian mummies from the Roman period astonished

�� researchers. One‑third ot the mummies were fair‑haired! Why do most news

�� reports from Zawi Hawass fail to mention this important fact? Here is the

�� information:

�� http://www.delphi.com/nordichistory/messages/?msg=512.4

�� The very first pharaoh, Narmer, also known as Menes, looks very European. The

�� same can be said for Khufu's cousin Hemon, who designed the Great Pyramid of

�� Giza, with help from Imhotep. A computer‑generated reconstruction of the face

�� of the Sphinx shows a European‑looking face. (98) It was once painted sunburned

�� red. (99) The Egyptians often painted upper class men as red and upper class

�� women as white; this is because the men became sun‑burned or tanned while

�� outside under the burning Egyptian sun. The women, however, usually stayed

�� inside.

�� Sardinian Pyramid and Abu Dhabi Mastaba

�� I read a strange statement in THE OXFORD ILLUSTRATED PREHISTORY OF

�� EUROPE that

�� there is a pyramid in Sardinia. If stone‑building technology spread from

�� Brittany to Egypt, one would expect to find something like this on Sardinia,

�� which is halfway between the two. In fact, going by boat, it is closer to Egypt

�� than to Britanny. Here is the statement on page 199: "Somewhat similar

�� manifestations occur in the rock‑cut tombs of Sardinia, which may copy above

�� ground structures in wood, and other surface monuments such as the collective

�� burials of the Tombe di Giganti with their horned forecourts, and the notable

�� PYRAMID MOUND of Monte d'Accodi near Sassari. (emphasis added)

�� Here are some pictures of pyramids in the Canary Islands, Sardinia, and Sicily!

�� Here is a fascinating map showing the location of ancient reed boats. Thor

�� Heyerdahl built such a raft called the Ra after the Egyptian Sun God and sailed

�� across the Atlantic Ocean in it. His theory is that an ancient race of redheads

�� in reedboats spread civilization all over the word, including the world's first

�� civilization in Sumer. He believed that redheads sailed up the Persian Gulf to

�� Sumer.
