King Tutankhamun was a pharaoh approximately 3,300 year ago during ancient Egypt’s New Kingdom era. He ascended to the throne at the age of 9 but ruled for only ten years before dying at 19 around 1324 B.C.
There are many images and artists depictions of King Tutankhamen that shows he had an oddly shaped large head that is often referred to as an elongated skull. He was said to also have girlish hips, narrow face, pronounced lips and possibly a receding chin. It has been said that his father, his father Akhenaton, and alleged mother Nefertiti also had elongated skulls.
Recent CT scans of Tutankhamun’s mummy have shown the real shape of his skull. Here is a digital reconstruction and images of King Tut’s huge head.

Tut has the genetics of modern day Europeans, his family and contemporary mummies have been found with red and blonde hair, had an elongated skull with Caucasoid feature, and the artists portraying him as red were probly going off the practice of using ochre or henna to dye the skin. Whats wrong, did you think he was black or something?
Why do these reconstructions always lighten the skin of the subject when there are numerous pieces of art that reflect the actual skin tones?
