Despite the refusal of the Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, to release any DNA results which might indicate the racial ancestry of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, the leaked results reveal that King Tut’s DNA is a 99.6 percent match with Western European Y chromosomes. The DNA test results were inadvertently revealed on a Discovery Channel TV documentary filmed with Hawass’s permission — but it seems as if the Egyptian failed to spot the giveaway part of the documentary which revealed the test results. Hawass previously announced that he would not release the racial DNA results of Egyptian mummies — obviously because he feared the consequences of such a revelation. On the Discovery Channel broadcast, which can be seen on the Discovery Channel website here, or if they pull it, on YouTube here, at approximately 1:53 into the video, the camera pans over a printout of DNA test results from King Tut. Firstly, here is a brief explanation of the results visible in the video. It is a list of what is called Short Tandem Repeats (STRs). STRs are repeated DNA sequences which are “short repeat units” whose characteristics make them especially suitable for human identification. These STR values for 17 markers visible in the video are as follows: What does this mean? Fortunately, a genius by the name of Whit Athey provides the key to this list. Mr Athey is a retired physicist whose working career was primarily at the Food and Drug Administration where he was chief of one of the medical device labs. Mr Athey received his doctorate in physics and biochemistry at Tufts University, and undergraduate (engineering) and masters (math) degrees at Auburn University. For several years during the 1980s, he also taught one course each semester in the electrical engineering department of the University of Maryland. Besides his interest in genetic genealogy, he is an amateur astronomer and has his own small observatory near his home in Brookeville, MD. He also runs a very valuable website called the “Haplogroup Predictor” which allows users to input STR data and generate the haplogroup which marks those STR data. For those who want to know what a haplogroup is, here is a “simple” definition: a haplogroup is a group of similar haplotypes that share a common ancestor with a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutation. Still none the wiser? Damn these scientists. Ok, let’s try it this way: a haplotype is a combination of multiple specific locations of a gene or DNA sequence on a chromosome. Haplogroups are assigned letters of the alphabet, and refinements consist of additional number and letter combinations, for example R1b or R1b1. Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA haplogroups have different haplogroup designations. In essence, haplogroups give an inisight into ancestral origins dating back thousands of years. By entering all the STR data inadvertently shown on the Discovery video, a 99.6 percent fit with the R1b haplogroup is revealed. The significance is, of course, that R1b is the most common Y-chromosome haplogroup in Europe reaching its highest concentrations in Ireland, Scotland, western England and the European Atlantic seaboard — in other words, European through and through. So much for the Afro-centrists and others who have derided the very obvious northwestern European appearance of a large number of the pharonic mummies. It seems like March of the Titans was right after all…

Interesting. Oh you have missed the new show with Hawass. What an ass! I mean big time ass. It is one of those shows where the camera basically follows you around doing whatever. This guy yells at people for no reason, all the time. Anyway, you aren't missing anything.
I've been of the opinion that Hawass wanted the world to believe that the Pyramids and ancient Egyptian Temples were built by ancestors of current day Egyptians despite evidences to the contrary. Michael Tsarion (was on Rense last night) has been saying that the ancient Egyptians were "IRISH" for a very long time. I didn't hear the interview but would very much like to if someone can post it !!!

Hawass has got to be in tight with the Rothschilds/NWO agenda of keeping the true nature of our history on this planet obscured. I think the "he wants to protect the Arab image, is a cover for an occultic agenda. While their are differences at the micro level there just is not a whole hell of a lot of difference between the Arabs and those of Western European descent. The Iranians/Persians are Western European originally although because of genetic drift and intermixture with the Arab population they show both sets of markers. In the original article there is an interesting distribution of genotypes in map form I'll see if it will link. If not you'll have to go to the original. Archaeologist David Hatcher Childress has also written about the links between Ireland, Scotland, and the Middle East. There are a few linguistic markers as far as names go - Clan McBee, McBay, and McAbee all derive from Maccabeus which was the ancient ruling house of Israel (and some 2,000 years later I am one of their descendents which I learned doing some family genealogical research).
