King Tut's Relatives and Blue Eyed Egyptians


King Tut's Relatives and Blue Eyed Egyptians

  
Reconstruction of Tutankamen

 

King Tut's DNA shows that the Pharaoh belonged to haplogroup R1b1a2, to which 70% of all Western European men belong, indicating that they share a common ancestor. Among modern-day Egyptians this haplogroup contingent is below 1%.







 

 

There are two kinds of blonde people in Europe: the Western European reddish or golden blondes and the eastern European (Baltic Sea focus) pale-blondes or yellow-blondes. The paler ones are more recent and probably postglacial spreading out from the Black Sea area following 5500 BC and the Black Sea flood (Part of Global Superflood  number 3) The Golden blonds are older and now more widespread. The origin of all truly blue-eyed people is more definite...

 

 

 

All blue-eyed people can be traced back to one ancestor who lived 10,000 years ago near the Black Sea

 

By MICHAEL HANLON


 Everyone with blue eyes can be traced back 10,000 years to the Black Sea region. Throughout history they have been the eyes that are prized.

Frank Sinatra's were legendary, Paul Newman's melted a million hearts while Cameron Diaz's dazzle in modern Hollywood.

But how - and why - blue eyes arose has always been something of a genetic mystery. Until now.

According to a team of researchers from Copenhagen University, a single mutation which arose as recently as 6-10,000 years ago was responsible for all the blue-eyed people alive on Earth today.

The team, whose research is published in the journal Human Genetics, identified a single mutation in a gene called OCA2, which arose by chance somewhere around the northwest coasts of the Black Sea in one single individual, about 8,000 years ago.

The gene does not "make" blue in the iris; rather, it turns off the mechanism which produces brown melanin pigment. "Originally, we all had brown eyes," says Dr Hans Eiberg, who led the team.

And most people still do. The finding that a rare mutation, probably dispersed in the rapid wave of colonisation that followed the end of the last ice age, highlights one of the great mysteries of human evolution: the oddness of Europeans.

Those from Europe and the Near-East have many characteristics that set them apart from the rest of the human race.

Not only are Europeans far more likely to have blue eyes (95 per cent in some Scandinavian countries), they also have a far greater range of skin tones and hair colour than any other ethnic grouping.

Brilliant blue: Uma Thurman and Cate Blanchett


It is only in Europe that you will find large numbers of blondes and redheads, brunettes, pale skins and olive skins, blueeyed and green-eyed people living together in the same communities. Across the rest of the world people are almost uniformly darkhaired and dark-eyed.

Why this should be remains unknown, and in particular how such mutations can have arisen so quickly since Europe was colonised by Africans just a few tens of thousands of years ago.

One theory is that Europe's cold weather and dark skies played a part. Fair skin is better at making Vitamin D from the 8 per cent of the world's population have blue eyes weak sunlight found in northern latitudes.


Wayne Rooney and Daniel Craig


Another suggestion is that the strange skin, eye and hair colours seen in Europe are down to ancient interbreeding with the Neanderthals, who died out about 25,000 years ago.

Maybe the Neanderthals were blonde or red-haired and it is their genes which we have inherited. The trouble with this theory is that there is no evidence, from the scraps of Neanderthal DNA that have been recovered from bones, that there was any substantial interbreeding between them and Homo sapiens at all.

Perhaps the most plausible theory is that blonde hair and blue eyes arose because of a mechanism called sex selection.

This is where males and females choose as their mates those who have one unusual physical characteristic, not necessarily associated with "fitness" per se but simply something unusual.

The gigantic (and otherwise useless) tail of the peacock is the best example.

Sex selection comes to the fore when there is a lot of competition for mates of one sex or the other. The theory is that in Europe, where men had to spend weeks at a time out on the hunt, males were in very short supply.

In such societies, women who had flaxen locks stood a better chance of standing out and attracting the attention of the few men that would have been available for mating.
Even back then, the blue-eyed blonde was not only in demand, but also definitely would have had more fun.

New Illuminati comments: The peacock’s tail is NOT useless – it’s used to drive off predators by sending a sonic shock wave using the wings and tail as a focusable parabolic dish!







In fact there are two movements here. The flood of agriculturalists into the Danubian area and Eastern Europe was earlier and from between 6000-5000 BC. The Indo-European expansion was more especially after 2000-3000 BC.




The Great Deluge

The world got warmer. By 9,000 BC the great glaciers had almost entirely melted and as a result much less water flowed down the rivers into the New Euxine Lake. Temperatures became so hot that waters in the lake evaporated to the point where the surface dropped below the Bosporus outlet. The lake's water no longer flowed into the Mediterannean. As the centuries passed and the warming of the earth continued the Euxine lake shrank smaller and smaller and sank lower and lower. At the same time the polar icecap continued to melt and its water filled the oceans, erasing the land bridge that once connected Britain with the mainland. –

Until there came a time, after thousands of years, that the surface of the Euxine lake was 400 feet below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea -- and the Mediterranean Sea was so full that it was close to the point where it would overflow the old Bosporus channel and pour down into the New Euxine Lake!! It was just a matter of time...

The Great Event occured about 5600 BC. The first trickle of sea water broke through the Bosporus and began to flow down the steep 400 foot incline to the freshwater Lake below -- and as the tiny stream flowed it dissolved its banks and became wider and deeper -- until within a relatively short time the stream became a horrendous waterfall 400 times mightier than Niagra Falls, so loud that its roar could be heard sixty miles away, filling the freshwater lake with salty ocean water, thereafter to be known as the Black Sea.

Of course when the Black Sea was filling up, covering their homes, the people had no idea if it was ever going to stop. Flooding they understood. They lived on rivers. All rivers flood. They simply moved to higher ground and carried on with their lives there until the flood subsided. But this flood was different. It covered their homes which no previous flood had ever done. And then it kept coming.

The new shoreline of the Black Sea expanded a mile every day on average, more in some places, less in others. The people standing on their "higher ground" watched it rise and rise -- until they had to run for their lives again. Some people were on hills totally surrounded by water. Then the hills were gone and they were swimming or floating on trees -- or drowned. Some people were fortunate enough to be on the edge of mountain ranges or at least very tall ranges of hills. These saw the lake rise hundreds of feet and fled in fright through mountain passes to safety, in whichever direction was afforded them. The roar of the end-of-the-world waterfall became louder and louder too -- until it could be heard  500 kilometers away. They could certainly hear the roar in the world's most ancient city, Catal Huyuk.

The frightened people  were like animals fleeing before a forest fire. Entire tribes rushed into the forbidden land of their neighbors.  Everyone was uprooted, strangers from different tribes fleeing together in horror. Refugees poured through Catal Huyuk and Hacilar with the terrible news that the sea had swallowed their homes and farms and was advancing surely to devour Catal Huyuk and Hacilar too. What incredible panic!

The city of Hacilar was an off-spring of Catal Huyuk. The oldest pottery shards there date to about 6700 BC, and is known to have continued until around 5500 BC--  when it suddenly ceased to exist as a city. Marija Gimbutas says “After Hacilar, Anatolian neolithic is not well known, whereas the culture of southeastern Europe flourished and reached its climax between 5500 and 4500 BC. The two areas diverged…” Of course, she wrote these words prior to Ryan and Pitman's discovery of the Black Sea Flood. So she was not able to take their date of 5600 BC into her understanding of what happened to Catal Huyuk and Hacilar, or  the affect it had to have upon the surrounding Old European cultures….

The people this Great Flood effected were the forefathers and foremothers of civilization as we know it today. Their society had come down to them through untold milleniums of intense growth, from the ancient days of following the mammoths along the riverways carving their ivory Mother figurines, through the ending of the great ice age, melting of the ice cap, and warming of the climate with all the changes this brought to their lives, through the age of the early Natufian settlers, through the coming into existance of the world's first city Catal Huyuk and the highly intelligent matristic peoples who lived by the rivers and hotsprings west of the Black Sea. And then the Great Flood came to these people -- the most amazing calamity the human race had ever known.

There must have been some of them who actually lived within sight of the great waterfall. What a vision their eyes beheld. A vision of clamity that would seer their souls so deeply that their stories of the event would be repeated to their children generation after generation after generation -- literally for thousands of years. Great as their vision of the unbelievable waterfall must have been, perhaps the only other event that might have compared would be the Great Rainbows that must have been generated all across the sky all around the waterfall. These too made it into their tales, a sign to them from the Creator that the world would only be destroyed by water this one time, and never again. Just think of those heart-awakeningly beautiful giant rainbows! Never since has mortal eyes beheld such beauty in the heavens. Rainbows upon rainbows upon rainbows upon rainbows upon rainbows upon rainbows upon rainbows upon rainbows upon rainbows upon rainbows upon rainbows...

Even with this enormous amount of water rushing into the Black Sea it did not fill overnight, for it is a huge body over a mile deep, 750 miles long and 380 miles wide. The Black Sea rose a foot every day. It took several years to rise 400 feet to level of the Mediterranian and Aegean. The neolithic people living around the edges of the water saw their homes of many generations flooded and still the water rose, pushing them back desperately into the lands of their neighbors. Those who lived beyond the sound of the roar watched the waters rise in wonder, and met the fleeing refugees in perplexity.

This was the most amazing thing that had ever happened. Entire cultures were forced to pick up whatever of their belongings that they could carry and rush away from the rising water. They rushed away in every direction, pushing their way in and through neighbor's lands where heretofore none of their tribe had previously been brave enough to go, for tribes have boundaries. No boundary held them anymore.

Here was the diaspora of mankind. Because of this great flood immigrant cultures arrived in totally new lands and started entirely new civilizations, some of the most ancient civilizations known to man. And they all  knew  what an amazing thing it was that they had been through. Stories about this great flooding of their entire world would be passed along to their children and children's children for thousands of years to come.

Previous to the great flood the people of the great city cultures of Catal Huyuk and Hacular in Anatolia had no difficulty in knowing the Koronovo and Vinca and other cultures of the west of the Euxine Lake along the great rivers, and vice versa. But after the Bosporus channel roared into existence it would be more difficult for these people cross over to the other side to visit each other. Vincas could not pass easily to Anatolia. Anatolians could not pass easily to the Danube communities.
The Danube had always been a great highway. Now more than ever, the first farmers of the Black Sea took to that highway and moved in great numbers on to Northern France and from there to Spain. It is no coincidence that the first farming along the Danube and Rhine dates to the same timeframe as the cataclysmic flooding of the Black Sea, 5500/5600 BC.

The map at the top of the page is sort of a mongrel thing, putting together information gleaned from various sources. The dates of the first farmers came from Gimbutas.

The hot springs locations are my own research. Hot springs are natural features of the earth and are much older than the oldest human civilizations. It's not difficult to see that the earliest human cities were deliberately located near hot springs. They were looking for hot springs because they were considered the most sacred places.  It's amazing others have missed this fact. I think  most archeologists and historians have had little or no personal experience with wilderness hot springs and therefore really have no idea what they meant to primitive people.

Most hot springs have been built up for commercial purposes, are surrounded by walls and ceiling. It's not possible to appreciate such hot springs in the same way of our ancestors knew them. One would have to arrive with one's family, tired and cold and perhaps wounded and perhaps old and rheumatic and unable to hunt or forage because of the disabilities, and settle into the hot healing waters with your loved ones, to begin to perceive the holy place they have been since the dawn of time.

It seems extremely odd to such as us, who know  about the sacredness of thermal springs, to read the works of great archeologists and historians who write of the birth of sacred writing or the spread of Old-European Danubian/Dneister cultures westward, and fail to mention that the lands immediately west of the Black Sea contain not a few, but thousands of hot springs. Romania has three thousand! Checkoslovakia has over two thousand thermal and mineral springs! And the land immediately south of the Black Sea, Anatolia, home of Catal Huyuk the world's most ancient city, has over a thousand hotsprings! What a heavenly part of the world! A land of marshlands full of birds and birds nests and eggs, fish and molusks, deer, everything in incredible abundance. And on top of it all, thousands and thousands of heavenly hotsprings for their most exquisite pleasure. If ever there was a garden of Eden on the earth for the human race this was it.

And then the Great Lake rose and swallowed all the civilization that lived on its shores, sent the people fleeing for their lives in all directions.

People who lived on the South Eastern shores of the Black Sea headed South East away from the rising waters. Of course they were familiar with their back yard. They were foragers. They knew where they were going. Their trek brought them to Mt Ararat and Lake Van. The Bible tells us Noah's ark rested on Mt Ararat after the Flood. The Black Sea waters never rose that high. But the refugees of the South-eastern shores of the Black Sea would naturally have headed there. It is also interesting to note that the area immediately around Mt Ararat and Lake Van contain a great many sacred natural hot springs.

One might easily suppose that these people would never again trust the Black Sea enough to return and live near it. They would remain near Lake Van and Mt Ararat and make their homes. Nearby are the sources of both the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. In  the centuries that followed their children would move down these rivers and create cities: Nimrod, Resena, Mari, Ninevah and much later the cities of Sumer, and Babylon, and Ur.
The people of Catal Huyuk would also head east to the Tigris and Euprhrates Rivers lending their building skills to the creation of the new cities. Flint axes found on the Tigris and Euphrates came from Hasan Dag volcano in Anatolia.

Other refugees followed the shores of the Levant to Jericho and beyond to the land that has come to be called Egypt. Their descendants built the pyramids.

The people that lived in the northwest of the Black Sea pushed on to the Caspian and crossed the Volga river forcing them to confronts the Kurgan people of the land that now bears the name Kazakhstan, the ramifications of which we will read in the pages to follow.

The new lands would in many ways not be as nice as the lands they had left behind, a world of thousands upon thousands of natural hotsprings, where a simple emersion was a blessing and an enlightenment. Few would be the hotsprings in their new lands, their blessings and enlightenment would for the most part be merely a vague memory passed on in obscure religious traditions.

The left-hand figurine is Vinca from 5000 BC (Danube people west of the Black Sea.) The righthand figurine is an Iberian druid from 500 BC.The people who lived to the west of the Black Sea followed the Danube and Dneister rivers west, some venturing down the boot of Italy, others proceeding on to France and Spain. Around 4500 BC the Danubians crossed the channel and settled on the island of Britain. There is only one natural thermal springs in all of Britain. The first people must have considered it very sacred. They built Stonehenge only a few miles away.

The scientists who made the discovery of the ancient catastrophe of the Black Sea are William Ryan and Walter Pitman of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York. They have taken extensive core-samples from the bottom of the Black Sea and discovered that up to 7500 years ago it was a much smaller freshwater lake, 400 feet lower than sea level when the flood burst through the Bosporus that changed the world.  I encourage you to read their book, NOAH'S FLOOD.

This website will only be able to scratch the surface of the subject which their book covers excellently and thoroughly. Also bear in mind that in writing this article I diverge from their work in some areas and include material that I have gleaned from other scientist authors, the most notable being Marija Gimbutas particularly from her books THE CIVILIATION OF THE GODDESS and THE LANGUAGE OF THE GODDESS. To my mind the research of Gimbutas and Ryan and Pittman go together like two peas in a pod. Also many of the ideas in this website are purely my own, for instance the idea that the first clothing of the human race came from the abundant piles of mammoth-shedded wool which covered the primordial landscape, which early hunters would fix around them to disguise themselves as mammoths in order to creep up on a herd.  And it is my own idea that it was the gargantuan rivers that kept the Siberian/Kurgans in the east during the final milleniums of the ice age... I have my own ideas about many of these things.

Regarding the work of Marija Gimbutas: She is like an oracle. The womb of life truly was the first essence of theosophic study and even veneration. It is as clear as nature to me.









Farming 5000BC, modified Wikipedia map




As to the blond Berbers and Libyans of the ancient Egyptians, several of us were looking at the whole thing backwards. We had been saying Northern Europeans had travelled to Egypt and Mesopotamia at the very beginnings of their histories

"The ancient Egyptians were red men. They recognized four races of men--the red, yellow, black, and white men. They themselves belonged to the "Rot," or red men; the yellow men they called "Namu"--it included the Asiatic races; the black men were called "Nahsu," and the white men "Tamhu." (Ignatius Donnelly, Atlantis, the Antediluvian World, 1882, p. 195)

Ancient Egyptian paintings were translated as depicting the modern races (red, yellow, black, white). Reproductions of these paintings from this time frequently show exaggerated differences in skin tone.

This is recognizable from 2000 BC at least     (Wikipedia)

Now it becomes likely that we are talking about two different things involved in the matter of blue-eyed pharaohs. The Pharaohs of Egypt WERE related to the Western Europeans, having a common heritage with the Megalith Builders (the same R1b1 genes also occur in the Atlas mountains area of Northwest Africa) But they were NOT the blue-eyed blond element. The blue eyed blonds came out of the Black Sea area and mostly found refuge going off to the Northwest from the Black Sea area, finally settling in concentration around the Baltic Sea.  BUT there was another strain that went south and mingled with the early Egyptians, Sumerians and so on, and they were Libyans south of the Mediterranean with descendants that mixed in with the Canary Islanders and survive as the Blond Berbers.

THESE were probably the ancestors of the Blond Incas. The aristocratic or royal element in Egypt WAS introduced from the West (where their spirits were supposed to go when they died, Armenti)  and hence there is just cause for saying they were Atlanteans (out of the "Celtic" R1 group that seems to have returned to Europe at the end of the Ice Age) BUT the Megalith-Building Northwest Europeans of 2000-3000 BC would NOT be blue-eyed blondes at the time: they would be dark-eyed brunets and look mostly like  our usual Mediterraneans.  PreCataclysmic Atlanteans should not be either blond-haired or blue-eyed.
