Recently-leaked DNA test results prove ancient Egyptian royal
Pharaoh Tutankhamen, aka King Tut, is 99.6% Western European.
The results were mistakenly leaked in the American cable
television show Royal Blood: King Tut Unwrapped. The tests were
conducted to find out if a newly-discovered mummy was the boy
king’s father. The Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme
Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, had previously stated that
he would never reveal the DNA results of King Tut, whose racial
make-up has been a source of dispute for many. The above video
shows a series of Short Tandem Repeats (STRs), repeated DNA
sequences whose characteristics are used to identify humans.
Racial historian Arthur Kemp took the above STR results and put
them into a Haplogroup Predictor created by retired physicist
and professor Whit Athey. The resulting haplogroup, which gives
insight into the ancestral background of an individual going
back thousands of years, came back with a 99.6% match with the
R1b haplogroup. The R1b haplog
