King Tut’s DNA is Western European – EU Times.net

At the King Tut exhibit in Dallas, a black county commissioner, John Wiley Price, was exclaiming defensively that Tut and the Egyptian Pharaohs were Negroid.

A local talk show host decided on a lark to call the Egyptian embassy and get to the bottom of the controversy.

By a gift of fate, he got the Egyptian Ambassador on the line. He spoke English and had a PhD in Ancient Egyptian Studies. The ambassador said the Pharaohs were European.

When pushed further he admitted, “Let me put it this way: The Ancient Egyptians were blond haired, blue eyed white people.”

The subject never came up again.

So much for the Afro-centrists and others who have derided the obvious northwestern European appearance of a large number of the pharaohonic mummies. It seems like March of the Titans was right after all.

And the Buddhists tell us that Gautama Buddha had eyes the blue of blue lotus.

And documentaries show Egyptians as having about the same amount of white blood as the average American black, especially the Pharaohs.

How is this information produced?

And “I Claudius” on “Educational” TV has drab statues of the type we call “classical” in Emperor Claudius’ garden.

My brother used to wipe the blackboard for his professors when he was in college, so he could talk with them. He stuck to their subject, math or history or whatever. That was about 1950. At that time each professor thought his own subject was the most fascinating thing in the world.

By the late 1960s when I was going to professorial conferences the people there looked like any other group of people on the make. It could have been a gathering of book salesmen or contractors.

It reminds me of one thing CS Lewis said abut his English school days, when all the boys had to participate in sports: “It was not fun for anyone, least of all me.”

Many a professional football player loves it when he gets a day off from “playing.”

In 1950 a history professor had something relatively few people at that time had, a college degree, not to mention his doctorate. History books back then were very commonly best sellers. They had CHOSEN history as their field.

Today a person who chooses any social science will have to teach it to make a living from his degree. As with CS Lewis at school or a professional baseball player, there is such extreme competition for a job that any fun it might have held is gone.

Does anybody remember the term “eccentric professors?”

They’re gone. Those who make their living in history are in a constant life-or-death struggle to know exactly what journals want. They have to keep their minds on what each editor wants, and he in turn keeps his mind on what the “state of the literature” is.

You don’t get an idea and publish. You find out what you should try to publish now, much like any other salesman keeps up with his market.

History was once a group of individualistic professors known to be eccentric because they had abandoned all better-paying pursuits for their obsession. It is now a rigid, grim bureaucracy. No one who wants to be a tenured professor DARES to be individualistic.

This feeds on itself. As the history bureaucrats take over, they begin to resent anyone who is obviously a good writer and doesn’t do the “work” they do to get ahead. Like grim people everywhere, they resent happier ones.

They get to HATE someone who is having a good time at the subject.
