Philadelphia - A travelling exhibition on King Tutankhamun drew about 50 protesters in Philadelphia who denounced the popular display as racist.
Molefi Asante, a professor of African-American studies at Temple University, led the demonstration on Sunday outside the Franklin Institute, claiming the exhibit has no mention of Africa and that it suggests the ancient Egyptian king was white.

Author Martin Bernal has written 4 volumes about Black Athena and the “real” culture of classical Greece which, he maintains, had Afro-Asiatic roots. (Much disputed by classicists everywhere.)

If a person doesn’t know that Egypt is in Africa, then they need to go back to grade school.
Besides, who really cares what color they were.

This guy and everyone who believes this BS are pathetic. They have to look back several thousand years to find something to be proud of?
