COMPTON, Calif. (Black News.com) - For the first time in nearly 30, years a major exhibition featuring a prominent black African is touring the nation. "Tutankhamen and The Golden Age Of The Pharaohs" opened in Los Angeles in June of 2005. After remaining there for five months, it was on display in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., from December 2005 through April 2006.
The exhibition opened at Chicago's Field Museum on May 26 of this year. Thus far, organizers have made millions of dollars as throngs packed museums in California and Florida.
In Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale, scores of black people, wearing T-shirts exclaiming "King Tut Is Back And Still Black," and carrying signs depicting the king as well as his Negroid parents and siblings, picketed the opening of the exhibit. They were protesting widely published renditions of the pharaoh as white. National Geographic went so far as to describe King Tut as "a North African Caucasian."
Fred Shaw, president of the Compton, California branch of the NAACP, said, "Here we have an opportunity to expose our children to a world renowned black figure, who was not a rap artist or athlete, and the mass media depict him as white."
In a local exclusive, the Los Angeles Sentinel headline read: "First Jesus, Now King Tut: Local Leaders Fight Society's Efforts To Whiten Africa's King Tut."
The exhibit features more than 130 artifacts from the tomb of King Tut. All of them depict the King as Negroid. Nevertheless, in the last room of the exhibit, officials have mounted three photographs of white skinned busts of the boy pharaoh. Outraged African Americans have referred to these photographs-based on CT scans of the king's skull conducted by scientists from Egypt, France and the U.S. in 2005-as "modern makeovers." A similar CT scan was conducted in 2002 by a group of scientists from New Zealand and Britain. They depicted the young king as decidedly Negroid.
The current controversy surrounding the racial identity of King Tut is the latest in an ongoing effort by black scholars, scientists, religious and political leaders to resurrect the true history of black people. In denying African Americans our cultural heritage, white historians, anthropologists and archaeologists have removed black people from ancient Egypt, Egypt from Africa and Africa from world history.
Yet, the truth is there for all to see. The language of the ancient Egyptians was African, not IndoEuropean, Semitic or "AfroAsiatic." The hieroglyphic images and symbols employed by the ancient Egyptians are native African in origin, not Asian. Moreover, ancient Hebrew, Greek and Roman eyewitnesses overwhelmingly described the ancient Egyptians as black Africans. In Genesis 10:6-7, the Bible categorizes the Egyptians as Mizraim- one of the sons of Ham, the father of the black race.
King Tut was born into the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt. According to many authorities, this was the greatest royal family in human history. The dynasty included Queen Ahmose Nefertari, "the most venerated figure of Egyptian history;" Queen Hatshepsut, the first prominent woman of history; King Thutmose III, the world's first great general; King Akhenaton, "Father of monotheism" and many others. They ruled a great nation that was the super power of its time.
According to William Flinders Petrie, the "Father of modern Egyptology," King Tut's extended family originated in Nubia, the black nation south of Egypt. Their mummies appear to confirm Petrie's conclusion. Furthermore, sculptures and drawings of King Tut's father, King Amenhotep III, his mother, Queen Tiye, and his brothers, King Akhenaton and King Smenkhare, have been described as decidedly Negroid by numerous authorities.
It is time for the world to recognize that King Tutankhamen was a black pharaoh who ruled a black nation during the zenith of ancient African power and influence. As African Americans, we should not tolerate the whitening of our history. It is an insult to the memory of our ancestors, a deprivation of our children's birthright and an indictment of our generation if we fail to act.
