>Several months ago, I wrote a post showing the reconstructed face of King Tut. The reconstruction of King Tut’s face was made with the help of more than 1,700 high-resolution CT-scanner images of King Tut’s mummy. In response to my post, a reader sent me the following email:
Subject: King Tut
“I can e-mail you an authentic pic of King Tut if you like which shows his Negro features. Why try to derive his face from a mummy when you already have a life size accurate picture of his appearance? Disinformation! They are hard to find anywhere in the world as the Egyptian government attempts to distance themselves from their African ancestry. Zahi Hawass is a pawn of the Egyptian govt that already has human right issues. Hawass can’t be relied on for the truth. King Tut didn’t have a father, like Christ he was born through immaculate conception. His mother was his wet nurse Maia (Maya). Her tomb was teh only tomb EVER found with a lion mummy in it. Maya was also the same name as Buddha’s mother. He had 144 objects wrapped within the bandages of his mummy. 144,000 is the speed of LIGHT around the earth, thus associated with light beings (Revelations). Tribe of Judah is tribe of light contains 144,000 in numbers. Light travels 6.66 times the earth in a second. Humans are the beast. King Tut reincarnated as Christ to take to the next stage what was begun in Egypt. Old testament was derived from Egyptian mythology. King Tut, King Akhenaten, Moses, A was part of the trinity that started Monotheism”
Now, how do I respond to this amazing email?
Without trying to offend my reader, I have to say that there is no end to ignorance in this world.

>Sherrice,Thank you for your comment. The problems with the content of that email is that such a misrepresentation can be taught to others who will believe these things without even questioning whether what has been said is right or wrong.Claude Mariottini

>I would have let your comments slide if ignorance hadn't been involved. Like Sherrice said, keep posting the truth that's all you can do. When you posted my e-mail that's exactly what you did. What a coincidence. Maybe I gave you a little too much info at the same time. Since you are an expert book reviewer and rely on National Geographic for your info, how about you review the works of this author. Gary Greenberg-President of the Biblical Archaeology Society of New York (BASNY)National Geographic Television served as a consultant to the documentary on Cain and Abel Egyptian influencesU.S. News and World Report has a special issue out devoted to Mysteries of the Bible. The article on the location of the Garden of Eden briefly refers to his suggestion that Eden was originally associated with the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (biblical On.)And has written 5 books on Biblical and ancient Near Historyhttp://ggreenberg.tripod.com/index.htmMaybe its time for you to expand your paradigm beyond your current narrow focus, enjoy, Dr. Jeffrey E. Rue. Considering you didn't ask for e-mail of actual King Tut picture I would assume you are not interested in the truth anyway.

>Dear Scorp,Thank you for visiting my blog and for your comment. If you were the one who sent the email I published, then I have to explain to you some of the things you wrote:You said: “144,000 is the speed of LIGHT.” The speed of light is 186,000 miles or 300,000 kilometers per second.You said: “Light travels 6.66 times the earth in a second.” The truth is that light travels more than seven times around the earth in one second.Do you expect me to believe that King Tut did not have a father and that he was born through immaculate conception? Or that King Tut was reincarnated as Christ? I checked Gary Greenberg’s web page as you said I should. His book, 101 Myths of the Bible: How Ancient Scribes Invented Biblical History. The title of his book clearly shows that he is not a Bible believer and that he believes that Biblical history is invented history. If he does not believe in biblical history, how do you expect me to believe what he says about the Bible.Claude Mariottini

>Just for the sake of clarity for future readers of these comments, the circular speed of light is 144,000, you are indeed correct on the figure for the linear speed of light. I understand that you have to firmly entrenched in the book to do what you do. After 50 years I don't expect to change your mind. But we also know that the Egpytians and the Jews and missed the message of the messiah of their age. The message is don't become so engrained in what you see in a book and fail to see God.

>Scorp, would you mind providing some sort of reference or link to verify your idea about the "circular speed of light?" I don't think the concept would map to relativity theory, and I've never heard of such a thing. Even if the idea and measurement were correct, it would not go around the earth even 6 times in one second, so the 6.66 seconds figure is without foundation.

>Nathan,The circumference of the Earth is 24,901.55 miles. If you multiply 24,901.55 times 6.66 the total is 165,844.323. This is more than 144.000 but less than 186,000 miles per second, which is the speed of light. This shows that the numbers quoted above are meaningless.Claude Mariottini

>The math is sound, it wasn't fudged by someone trying to make sense of the bible. It was derived by a scientist whom has written several books on harmonics, anti-gravity, and the earth's energy grid. Work very similiar to Nikola Tesla whom invented alternating current and also developed a means to harness free wireless electricity from the earth's magnetic grid. His idea didn't take off because "free" doesn't bode well in a capitalistic society. They are currently making designing a cell phone that harness waves from the atmosphere to charge itself.Anyway, Bruce Cathie found that Einstein's 186,400 was fine for straight lines but didn't apply for measuring circular functions of the earth grid. He converted Einstein figure into a circular function calculating the distance covered by light in angular degrees per second because light would be affected by magnetic and gravitational fields. His calculations showed 144,000 minutes of arc per second. Bruce Cathie wasn't the one to make the religious associations but 144,000 divided by 60 (minutes) divided by 360 (degrees) = 6.66 revolutions.By the way, there were also 144,000 limestones on the Great PyramidJeremiah 32:20, "God has set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and have made Yourself a Name, as at this day." Ever wonder why the US utilizes the pyramid on its money? Or why there were "13" original colonies? Or why our sunspot activity is at record lows? A sunspot minimun was also associated with the fall of the Egyptian empire. Einstein's figure for speed of light
