>So it may make sense that an ancient Egyptian would be more similar to europeans than the average modern egyptian.
Modern Egyptians are literally Arabs, the Pharaohs could've been literal Aryan nomads and they'd be closer to modern Euros.

>70 percent of british men and half of western european men
holy shit egyptians were not just white they were BRITISH HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

Well, he literally wasn't European.
But it's entirely possible that he was similar to what would today would be called "white".
Nathan Wood
Brits are fucking mutts so that's honestly surprising.
Though now this makes more sense. youtube.com
Jacob Bailey
Brits are not mutts. I don't know what internet you read that on. They are more well-preserved because they were on that dumb island. Irish are even purer for the same reason.
Dylan Jenkins
Ireland certainly, But Great Britain and England in particular was repeatedly invaded, you can bet that left a permanent mark.

This. Ramesses II Had straight, red hair (colored with henne when he grew older, but red when he was young, which linked him to his patron god, Set, who was also said to be red-haired). Just look at the general shape of his skull, and especially his nose. Does it look "black" to you?
Nicholas Cooper
The image of the post I replied to is not Ramesses II, but this reminded me of this particular case. There are many Egyptian mummies with fair hair and European features.

>An academic study which included DNA profiling of some of the related male mummies of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2010. Tutankhamun's Y-DNA haplogroup was not published in the academic paper,[33][34][35] however iGENEA, a Swiss personal genomics company, claimed to have reconstructed King Tut's Y-DNA profile based on screencaps from a Discovery Channel documentary about the study. iGENEA without producing any proof, proposed that King Tut belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup R1b1a2
>While Western Europe is dominated by the downstream subclades of R1b1b – especially R1b1b2 (R-M269) – the Fulɓe and Chadic-speaking peoples of Africa are dominated by the primary branch now known as R1b1a (R-V88).
>R1b1a2 is defined by the presence of SNP marker V88, the discovery of which was announced in 2010 by Cruciani et al.[31] Apart from individuals in southern Europe and Western Asia, the majority of R-V88 was found in the Sahel among populations speaking Afroasiatic languages of the Chadic branch:

Wow, Tut is from Egypt. You sure did crack the code with that one.
