    It's the Ressur-erection, on the 3rd day it rose again.

    Very stylish. How can I commission such a burial style for myself?

    Fertility and virility were a serious deal for those Egyptian elites. The Victorians would lop off the penises of the male statues and cover the nude women. Apparently, this came about because the royals were so inbred by the time Tutankhamen came around that they would do insane things to try and get an erection because they had developed a variety of adverse hereditary physical conditions due generations of inbreeding.

    Tutankhamen's predecessor, Aten Neferneferuaten, and his suspected father, Akhenaten, were both physically deformed men oftentimes with reliefs and statues made to have bodies that more closely resembled a woman's than a mans. However, it could also be argued that during this time, psychotic women suffering sexual dysphoria were in charge of Egypt and they demanded to be documented as males, despite actually being female. All around, these were weird people. It's a good thing that their civilization is among the sands of time.

    Much of that is down to the supposed curse of Tutankhamun, caused by the sudden death of many of the archaeological team led by Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter that found the boy king’s body.

    Sounds like a coverup of something.

    Have you ever seen a North African moslem that wasn’t a rape ape?

    I'm pretty certain the Egyptian Pharaohs predate Islam by a substantial amount of time

    It's futile to try and teach him, he's a monkey.

    Ancient Egyptian nobility were WHITE.

    I would qualify this a bit. It depends on your definition of 'whiteness' which people seem to have different ideas about. They most certainly had the mutations for light skin and blue eyes, but these people were not descended from or the ancestors of Indo-European/Aryans.

    Please offer me the opportunity to learn how one knows this for sure.

    Another piece of evidence I would offer is that of Indo-European culture dominance. When they went to India and became the upper-caste in a situation that mirrors what you propose in Egypt, you see Indo-European language dominate. Sanskrit is clearly derived from the same proto-indo-european language, and their mythology has direct correlation, such as the story of Prometheus having a nearly identical corresponding story in the Vedas.

    But where is this evidence for Egypt? The ancient egyptian language is related to SEMITIC languages, and is Afro-Asiatic, not proto-indo-european. You would have to be proposing they went there, dominated, became the upper class, and did NOT import their language, culture, religion, agriculture or any other traditions, despite the fact that this people did just that everywhere else they went

    Well, if you look at the PCA clusterings, you can see the populations they are nearest

    The ancient populations nearest them are Levants from the middle east, and the modern populations they resemble are the Semitic groups, Palestinian, Lebanese Syrians, and also the Bedouins. European populations aren't anywhere in the vicinity

    They made giant pyramids out of precision, sound-molded rocks, and these pyramids are in absolutely perfect alignment across continents. I don't think people being close by meant much to them. They had technologies that were more advanced than ours... Including electricity, planes, helicopters, etc­.

    The final dynasty of ancient Egypt was the Ptolemaic Dynasty, 305 BC - 30 BC. They were Greek and Macedonian. The famous Cleopatra VII was Macedonian. Ruling for nearly three centuries, the Ptolemies were the longest and most recent Egyptian dynasty of ancient origin.

    The changes brought to Egypt by the Ptolemies were momentous; the land's resources were harnessed with unparalleled efficiency, with the result that Egypt became the wealthiest of the Hellenistic kingdoms.

    Entertainment mag lads. I don't believe the sources given and people interviewed.

    How could they get a dead guy even get erect anyway to embalm him.

    They probably pumped it full of embalming liquid or something.
