Discovery of Egyptian dignitary's 4,000-year-old colorful tomb stuns archaeologists

Egyptian officials announced a stunning discovery over the weekend: a 4,000-year-old tomb of a dignitary bedazzled in colorful paintings and inscriptions.

Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities unveiled Saturday the ancient resting place of the senior official named "Khuwy," noting that he served during the reign of King Djedkare, a pharaoh who ruled Egypt during the Fifth Dynasty — from the late 25th century to early 24th century BC. The next day, the Egyptian government released footage that showcased what it called "exceptionally painted" limestone walls.


"The remarkable well-preserved colours on the inscriptions are considered royal colours," the ministry said in an original video posted online.

Antiquities Minister Khaled al-Enani confirmed to the Egypt Independent that the ancient gravesite in Saqqara, which has a tunneled entrance resembling that of a royal pyramid, was uncovered last month while a team examined Djedkare's vast collection of pyramids. A team of 52 foreign ambassadors, cultural attachés and popular Egyptian actress Yousra toured the site over the weekend.

“The L-shaped Khuwy tomb starts with a small corridor heading downwards into an antechamber and from there a larger chamber with painted reliefs depicting the tomb owner seated at an offerings table,” Mohamed Megahed, who led a team of archaeologists in digging up the tomb, told the Egyptian newspaper.

Every inch of the tomb is covered in markings, which archaeologists are carefully studying. So far, the inscriptions have raised questions about Khuwy's impact on the ancient community as well as his specific relationship with the pharaoh — whose elaborate tomb sits just "a stone's throw away," per the ministry.

Since the tomb's discovery in March, researchers have floated several possibilities that could explain Khuwy's highly decorated tomb.

Some suggested Khuwy was a close relative of Djedkare, while others said it may have been used to make a political point.

"Others believe this unique design was part of the pharaoh's reforms of state administration and funeral cults," the ministry explained in a video.

Khuwy's mummified remains were found "fragmented into several pieces" but researchers will still be able to use the bones to further examine the makeup of the Egyptian official, which will hopefully uncover secrets related to his role during that time period.

In December 2018, archaeologists in Egypt uncovered another impressive gravesite in the Saqqara pyramid that belonged to a high priest more than 4,000 years ago.

Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, called the burial “one of a kind in the last decades."

"The color is almost intact even though the tomb is almost 4,400 years old," Waziri said in a statement at the time.



I see nothing but Black African's on the wall's..fukk is you thieving cac's on about, you disgust me

they deface the important shyt...

a room can be prestine look like no one ever been it ...then they call this nikka

he robs it .. then start defacing shyt...

like if it was peckerwoods back then there.. they would have painted them...they had colors..lol

They said the DNA identifies him as being Brown to Black skinned, but they made sure the illustration they put out is monochromatic..as in a Grey tone to avoid representing him in his Black skin.
They also shaved his head clean to avoid representing him in an Afro, as Africans are the only race that grows one.

His limb proportions are African and not Eurasian or anything else.
You can identify race by measuring bone proportions.
Indians and White people both originate from Central Asia before diverging, and are thus indistinguishable by bone proportions.

Dolicocephaly..the unique protrusion of the lower jaw in the African race to extend beyond the nose, as opposed to all other races where the nose protrudes beyond the lower jaw. Its why the Sphinx has an African face when you observe it's profile.

What's funny is last week I asked Chap GPT to create an image of what King Tut might've looked like based off the DNA, his mummy, & the actual Ancient Egyptian artwork they made of him & his family & got this below lol:

I wouldn't doubt if this was not that far off of what he really looked like & I can see the real images below in the rendition above

Just looking up images for my post above, I came across probably the best rendition of what King Tut might've looked like based off the above criteria. This artist has skills

I think AI is going to put a nail in the coffin. It’s obvious these people originally were Black and of the East African stock. They came from the South of Egypt. Middle Easteners came from the North. They mixed a lot, which is why they depicted themselves as “red” compared to the Nubian (black) and the Middle Eastern (yellow) but at the end of the day both the Nubian and the Egyptian would’ve been considered “Black” in the American context. And they were telling us on their murals that they lived together and respected each other as peers/countrymen.

As time went on, there was too much mixing and the demographics changed into what you see now. But when they go far back in time, you see black mofos. That black mummy they found that was 35,000 years old was proof in itself. AI is not going to care about protecting white people’s racial insecurity. It’s just going to say what was and then white people will flip to saying East Africans still weren’t West African

"Many of the sites reveal evidence of important interactions between Nilotic and Saharan groups during the formative phases of the Egyptian Predynastic Period (e.g. Wadi el-Hôl, Rayayna, Nuq’ Menih, Kurkur Oasis). Other sites preserve important information regarding the use of the desert routes during the Protodynastic and Pharaonic Periods, particularly during periods of political and military turmoil in the Nile Valley (e.g. Gebel Tjauti, Wadi el-Hôl)."

“There is now a sufficient body of evidence from modern studies of skeletal remains to indicate that the ancient Egyptians, especially southern Egyptians, exhibited physical characteristics that are within the range of variation for ancient and modern indigenous peoples of the Sahara and tropical Africa.

In general, the inhabitants of Upper Egypt and Nubia had the greatest biological affinity to people of the Sahara and more southerly areas
[...]
Any interpretation of the biological affinities of the ancient Egyptians must be placed in the context of hypothesis informed by the archaeological, linguistic, geographic or other data.

In this context the physical anthropological evidence indicates that the early Nile Valley populations can be identified as part of an African lineage, but exhibiting local variation.

This variation represents the short and long term effects of evolutionary forces, such as gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection influenced by culture and geography"

"Ancient Egypt belongs to a language group known as 'Afroasiatic' (formerly called Hamito-Semitic) and its closest relatives are other north-east African languages from Somalia to Chad. Egypt's cultural features, both material and ideological and particularly in the earliest phases, show clear connections with that same broad area. In sum, ancient Egypt was an African culture, developed by African peoples, who had wide ranging contacts in north Africa and western Asia.”

"The ancient Egyptians were not 'white' in any European sense, nor were they 'Caucasian'... we can say that the earliest population of ancient Egypt included African people from the upper Nile, African people from the regions of the Sahara and modern Libya, and smaller numbers of people who had come from south-western Asia and perhaps the Arabian penisula."

The "Debate" about who the Ancient Egyptians were was settled 8,000+ Years Ago,
When the first Black Man, Woman and Child, left the drying "Green Sahara" to go live in the Nile Valley.

White & Quasi-White, Ancient Egyptians are Scientifically/Historically Impossible, there is no "Debate".

Even the so-called "Olive Skinned" Egyptians as a major Ancient Population is Scientifically/Historically Impossible.

When Egypt was being founded, Europe, "North Africa" and the "Middle/Near East" were still Phenotypically Black.

Whites & Quasi-Whites("Olive Skinned") are Late-Comers.

The Ancient Egyptians were primarily Type 5 And Type 6 Skintypes on the "Fitzpatrick Scale" ,
which was integral to allow working naked and near naked daily, sun-up to sun-down, in UV Indexes of 10-11,
and on the Nile where the water doubled daily UV exposure.

Black African biology(Tropical Body Plan, Skin Tone, Hair Texture, Wider Nasal Aperture) was a prerequisite for Ancient Egypt to have thrived for thousands of years.

Cheikh Anta Diop didn't have the benefit of Genetic testing during his day, but since he was a scientist he only needed a tiny skin sample to conduct Melanin tests..the Arabs now running 'Egypt' of course refused his request but I think someone handed him a piece on the sly.

He also made the connection between ancient Egypt and current African populations throughout the continent by way of linguistics. Many African languages spoken today have words and phrases similar to the ancient Egyptian language from West, East, Central and Southern Africa from the displacement of the ancient Egyptians when it fell to foreign invaders. They didn't flee into Europe or Arabia but into Africa to natually seek refuge amongst those of their Kith and Kin.

The genetic testing done on the Amarna mummies (Tutankhamun's immediate family) discovered in the 1800s was tested by DNAtribes and they were all basically Africans from the Great Lakes region..

Tut himself is classified racially as being Super Negro.
An actual biological term I had no idea existed

Interestingly, to prove how Arab invader displacement of ancient Egyptians resulted in their settling in greater Africa.

"the lack of L3 lineages other than M and N in India and among non-African mitochondria in general suggests that the earliest migration(s) of modern humans already carried these two mtDNA ancestors, via a departure route over the Horn of Africa.”

“In Africa, the three most ancient mtDNA haplogroups (L0, L1, and L2), which make up macrohaplogroup L, are specific for sub-Saharan Africa. African macrohaplogroup L radiated to form the Africa-specific haplogroup L3 as well as the Eurasian macrohaplogroups M and N. M and N arose in northeastern Africa and individuals bearing M and N mtDNAs subsequently left Africa to colonize Europe and Asia."

"Here we present newly obtained mitochondrial genomes from two ~7000-year-old individuals from Takarkori rockshelter, Libya, representing the earliest and first genetic data for the Sahara region. These individuals carry a novel mutation motif linked to the haplogroup N root. Our result demonstrates the presence of an ancestral lineage of the N haplogroup in the Holocene “Green Sahara”, associated to a Middle Pastoral (Neolithic) context."

"At the mtDNA level, both Takarkori individuals belong to a basal branch of haplogroup N, representing one of the deepest mtDNA lineages outside sub-Saharan Africa and predating present-day N-derived mtDNAs13. Using BEAST analysis for mtDNA dating, which included additional sequences from Upper Palaeolithic individuals and the dataset described previously13, we corroborate the previous findings of ref. 13 that the Takarkori individuals carried a basal N haplogroup lineage13, and refined the molecular split date estimate to 61,343 years old (95% highest posterior density (HPD) = 54,408–69,046) (Extended Data Fig. 6). Notably, the mtDNA lineage of the Oase 1 individual falls more basal to haplogroup N, suggesting an earlier split from the OoA lineage before the divergence of the Takarkori lineage. However, owing to incomplete lineage sorting and mtDNA representing a single lineage, the exact timing of the underlying population splits remains uncertain.

Previous work modelled the Taforalt group’s ancestry as a two-way admixture of approximately 63.5% Natufian (ancient Levantine foragers) and 36.5% sub-Saharan African ancestries2. However, this model using the software qpAdm2 could not pinpoint the origin of Taforalt’s African ancestry, resulting in unknown ghost ancestry only broadly linked to South, East and Central African groups2. Here we included Takarkori as a possible source of the African ancestry in Taforalt in comparison to several potential sources (namely Yoruba, Dinka, Mota, Cameroon Shum Laka, Botswana Xaro Early Iron Age (EIA) and Tanzania Zanzibar 1,300 cal. BP) through rotation-based qpAdm. We found that Saharan Takarkori provides a much better fit as an African proxy for Taforalt than the sub-Saharan groups, attaining a P value of >0.05, indicative of a much better model fit compared to the other sources (P < 2.84 × 10−34) (Extended Data Figs. 7, 8 and Supplementary Tables 2.6, 2.7). With this revised model, we estimated that the Taforalt ancestry retains a comparable 60.8% (±1.8%) contribution from Natufians, with the remaining 39.2% (±1.8%) derived from Takarkori."

African populations and Hg N:


“Despite the long history of anatomically modern humans in Africa, our knowledge of human population processes within Africa, particularly prior to the spread of agriculture within the past;5,000 years, remains relatively patchy because of poor preservation of archaeological remains in some areas and because genetic studies of certain regions, such as eastern Africa, have been limited (Tishkoff and Williams 2002; Reed and Tishkoff 2006). Although few click-speaking populations have been studied for mitochondrial (mt) DNA (Chen et al. 2000) and Y chromosome (Cruciani et al. 2002; Semino et al. 2002) variation, available data indicate consistently that genetic lineages found among the Ju (including groups called San, !Kung, Zhu|’twasi, or Ju|’hoansi in previous publications) and Khoe (including Khwe, Dama, and Nama) speakers comprise the most basal clades in global phylogenetic trees. Prior studies of mtDNA (Vigilant et al. 1991; Knight et al. 2003) and Y chromosome variation (Knight et al. 2003) in the Hadza and Ju|’hoansi San indicated a deep separation between the 2 groups (.40 kya; Knight et al. 2003).

The currently small size of the Hadza population raises the possibility, however, that the population divergence estimate reflects a high level of genetic drift and lineage loss.”
[…]
“The Sandawe sample shows evidence of very low levels of migration with the Ju|’hoansi (M5 0.32 [CI 0.02–1.12 M] or an average of one migrant every 3 generations) and with the !Xun/Khwe (M5 0.49 [CI 0.04–1.68 M]). The Sandawe and SAK-speaking populations share no identical mtDNA haplotypes, suggesting that any genetic exchange was not recent.”

In continuation of the above.

“The majority of the Takarkori people's ancestry comes from a previously unknown North African genetic lineage that split from sub-Saharan African populations around 50,000 years ago.

This lineage remained isolated for a long time, contributing significantly to the genetic makeup of present-day North Africans. This discovery challenges previous assumptions about North African population history and highlights a long-isolated genetic lineage.”

“The Takarkori sample, a collection of human remains found in a rock shelter in Libya, exhibits genetic similarities to both the Kiffian and Tenerian cultures from the Gobero site in Niger. These cultures represent distinct periods in the Sahara's past: the Kiffian culture during the Early Holocene and the Tenerian culture during the Mid-Holocene. The Takarkori site itself is located in the Tadrart Acacus Mountains and was occupied from at least 10,170 cal BP to 4650 cal BP, providing a valuable window into Saharan prehistory.“
