- Title
TUTANKHAMUN IN THE FLESH.
- Authors
Riggs, Christina
- Abstract
The article discusses the controversy over the presumed race of the ancient Egyptians brought about by the discovery of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. Topics include the publication of an anonymous editorial in "Negro World" questioning the intensive media coverage of the issue, English archaeologist Howard Carter's assumptions about myths and hierarchies associated with the idea of race surrounding Tutankhamun excavation, and a news confirming that Tutankhamun has Spanish DNA.
