DNA of King Tutankhamun, What if he Was Jewish?...........
“The announcement will be "about the secrets of the family and the affiliation of Tutankhamun, based on the results of the scientific examination of the Tutankhamun mummy following DNA analysis," Hawass said. The tomb of the boy king, who reigned from the age of nine and died under as yet unknown circumstances at about 19, was unearthed by British archaeologists in the Valley of the Kings in 1922, causing an international sensation. In August 2008, Egypt's antiquities authorities said they had taken DNA samples from Tutankhamun's mummy and from two fetuses found in his tomb to determine whether the still-born children had been fathered by the boy king………. Hawass said then the DNA tests also would determine Tutankhamun's lineage, and whether the fetuses were the offspring of Tutankhamun and Ankhesenpamon, the daughter of Nefertiti who is renowned as one of history's great beauties. He had said the results of the studies would also help in identifying the mummy of queen Nefertiti. Mystery has surrounded the identities of Tutankhamun's own parents: while his father was the Pharaoh Akhenaton, his mother remains unknown…………..”
This DNA test can be risky. What if the results indicate that he was Jewish? At least that his mother was, which makes his eligible to be officially Jewish? I believe Sammy Davis Jr was one of the few who did not. Would they still announce the results in Cairo? Probably not.
