Did they determine his skin color from his death mask?
Wow that is some science! It must be imaginative science.

You can put white skin on The Shaq, and he will still look African. Are you honestly going to tell me that you can look at that face no matter the color, and tell me it is not African? The face was reconstucted from xrays, not the Funereal Mask. It is a legitimate forensic field.

[oldcomputerguy]

The sharp pointed nose looks distinctly unAfrican, at least
black African. If this face had white skin and long
flowing hair, you might change your opinion of his origins
too.

"He lived in very turbulent times"

Doesn't every period of History qualify as "Turbulent Times"?As if it was more turbulent 1300 years ago than the Islamic War that has been thrust upon us today. More Primitive? O.K. I can accept that, but more turbulent,I have to disagree. It's also interesting to note that my acquaintance Alex at our local adult beverage establishment, thought he saw himself on TV yesterday,He's a splitting image of that picture and was hearing about it from everyone yesterday and not happy about it.
