Most ancient Egyptians had long heads, i.e. their skulls were dolichocephalic. [The subject of dolichocephalic skulls (long skulls) and brachycephalic skulls (round skulls) is discussed in the post Long-heads of Europe.] This is shown in the 1939 publication Population Fluctuation over 7000 years in Egypt by anatomist and anthropologist Raymond A. Dart, referred to in Cosmick Traveler:1

  • Only 1% of pre-dynastic (c. 3300–3150 BCE) Egyptian skulls are round (brachycephalic).
  • No more than 1% of skulls from Dynasty I to VI (c. 3150–2181 BCE) are round.
  • However, by Dynasty IX (2160–2130 BCE) 11.6% of skulls are round.

Following are examples of ancient Egyptians with long skulls.

1. The Akhenaten lineage

All members of the Akhenaten family had long skulls.1 Following are examples of long skulls in this family.

DNA tests of the Younger Lady Mummy indicate that she is possibly the daughter of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye and that she might be the mother of Tutankhamen.2

Tutankhamen ruled Egypt from c. 1332 – 1323 BCE. Notable features of Tutankhamen’s body:1

  • His skin was completely black.
  • His body was of the sub-Saharan type.
  • His long skull is typical of the East African Nilotic population (peoples indigenous to the Nile Valley that speak Nilotic languages), especially the Kalenjiin and Maasai. Modern populations of these East African peoples have long skulls with cephalic readings between 73 and 74.

Tutankhamen’s above-mentioned physical features suggest that one of his parents could have been a Black African.1

2. The Ramses lineage

Like the Akhenaten family, the Ramses lineage is of long-heads.

Ramses II (Ramses the Great), son of Seti I, ruled Egypt from 1279–1213 BCE. He is widely regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom3 and his 66-year rule was the longest recorded reign of any pharaoh. He was also one of ancient Egypt’s most successful warrior pharaohs.4 Seti II ruled Egypt from c. 1203 to 1197 BCE.

Siptah succeeded Seti II and ruled Egypt from 1197–1191 BCE. His father may have been Seti II or Amenmesse.5


Ramses III and his son Ramses IV. Image credit: Cosmick Traveler1

Ramses III ruled Egypt from c. 1185–1154 BCE. He ruled at a time of political, economic, and cultural decline in Ancient Egypt.6 Ramses IV ruled Egypt from 1154–1148 BCE.


Ramses V. Image credit: Cosmick Traveler1

Ramses V, the son of Ramesses IV, ruled Egypt from 1148 to 1144 BCE.

3. Young woman from DB320

The young woman’s skull looks even more dolichocephalic than those of the mummies shown above.1 She died at about age 21 years 3,400 to 3,500 years ago. Her mummified remains and skull were found in the Deir el-Bahari royal cache (DB320) located in the cliffs near the Valley of the Kings area.7

4. Gebelein Man “Ginger”

The Gebelein Man is a naturally preserved 5,500-year-old Egyptian mummy from the Late Predynastic period (around 3400 BCE). He was named “Ginger” because of the distinct reddish-blonde hair preserved on his head. The man was about 18 to 21 years old when he died, about 5 feet 4 inches tall, and he had a figurative tattoo on his upper arm depicting a wild bull and a Barbary sheep [a tough, goat-like mammal native to the rocky mountains of North Africa. It is neither a true sheep nor a goat, but belongs to its own unique genus (Ammotragus)] — symbols of strength and power.8

Typical of populations from the Predynastic period [approx. 6000 to 3100 BCE, bridging the late Neolithic Stone Age and the rise of the First Dynasty] in Upper Egypt, the head of the Gebelein Man is dolichocephalic, meaning it is long and narrow from front to back.9,10

Archaeologist Professor Walter B. Emery (1903-71) found that, in addition to their dolichocephalic skulls, the remains of people who lived in predynastic times north of Upper Egypt had skeletons that are larger than the average for the zone and that all the bones are wider and heavier.10

Emery concluded that these people fulfilled an important sacerdotal [priestly] role during their lifetime. Further, it seems that the dolichocephali was not a result of prehistoric evolution; it originated in a civilization prior to the flood; everywhere these long-skull people went they were consecrated to the priesthood and teaching; they formed a dominant priestly caste; and they built megalithic monuments.10 Concerning the flood, known by geologists as the Cimbrian flood, the Oera Linda Book records the flood (which destroyed Atland, in Latin Atlantis) as happening in 2193 BCE. For more information, please see The Oera Linda Book: Explosive power for Aryans.

5. Long-head red hair and fair skin

Of the above-mentioned Ancient Egyptian rulers, the following had red hair colour: Queen Tiye, Seti I, and his son Ramses II (Ramses the Great).1 In addition, Siptah had curly reddish-brown hair.11

This red hair colour is consistent with the red hair colour of long-skull humanoid remains found in Paracas, Peru, some of which date to about 1,000 BCE (the Paracas remains are discussed in Long-heads of America).

As was noted in Symbols of our gods, Egyptian religion teaches that the god Set (Seth, Setekh, Sut, Sutekh, Sety) had white skin and red hair, and people with red hair were his followers. In fact the name of red-haired Seti I means “follower of Seth.”12

Concerning white skin, the mummy of Ramses II was forensically tested in 1976 by Pierre-Fernand Ceccaldi, the chief forensic scientist at the Criminal Identification Laboratory of Paris. On the basis of the mummy’s slightly wavy, red hair and cranial features, Ceccaldi concluded that Ramses II was of a “Berber type” and thus fair-skinned.13

In addition to the red-haired beings mentioned above, clearly the Gebelein Man “Ginger” had red hair and the baby long-heads Detmold child (dated to 4480 BCE) and the Paracas baby skull (dated to c. 800 BCE) pictured in Long-heads of Europe both have red hair. Further, in Long-heads of America it was shown that the remains of the long-skull Paracas beings (dated to c. 1000 BCE in some cases) were of humanoids with dark red and blond hair and light-coloured skin.

6. Origin of the long-heads

Before these men, they said, the rulers of Egypt were gods, but none had been contemporary with the human priests. Of these gods one or another had in succession been supreme; the last of them to rule the country was Osiris’ son Horus, whom the Greeks call Apollo; he deposed Typhon, and was the last divine king of Egypt. Osiris is, in the Greek language, Dionysus.

Herodotus, Histories, Book II. 144.2

As was indicated above, the long-head beings seem to have originated in an antediluvian (the era before the Flood) civilization. More specifically, Gamalein (2023)10 suggests that these beings are the remains of the famous Shemsu-Hor (meaning “Followers of Horus”) beings. The Shemsu-Hor are semi-divine companions, rulers, and priests in ancient Egyptian tradition. They form the transitional bridge in king-lists between the primordial reign of the gods and the first mortal pharaohs.14 The divine lineage of these beings is indicated in texts like the Turin King Papyrus and Edfu building records which describe them as an elite retinue or clan associated with the falcon god Horus.14 Concerning their ritual function, in funerary texts they act as sacred attendants who assist, steer the solar/funeral bark, and perform rites that justify and elevate the deceased king to an akh (effective spirit).14

Of interest in the present discussion, Gamale (2023)10 notes that the exact phrase found on the walls of the temple of Edfu [built on the west bank of the Nile River in Egypt between 237 and 57 BCE and dedicated to the falcon-headed god Horus] is “Ntr ntri hpr m sp tpy” i.e. “the divine god who came into existence in the first time” (or “the sanctified god who came to be born at the first time”). The “First Time” is called Zep Tepi, a sacred concept in ancient Egyptian mythology describing the primordial creation epoch when order emerged from watery chaos and gods ruled directly on Earth.15

According to an oral tradition in Egypt, Ntr ntri hpr m sp tpy refers to a time when the divine manifested itself in humans to try stem the degradation and loss of their senses, to try preserve communion with the 360 Neters (the 360 divine principles, cosmic forces, or aspects of creation), and to raise their level of consciousness.10

7. Other names for Shemsu-Hor

The Shemsu-Hor of Ancient Egypt are the Apkallu of Mesopotamia and the Nephilim of the Hebrew Bible.

7.1 Apkallu

The Apkallu were the seven legendary sages or wise men in ancient Mesopotamia, created by the god of wisdom Enki (or Ea) to bring civilization, arts, and moral codes to humankind before the great flood.16 They were Divine Emissaries created in the subterranean sweet-water ocean (Abzu); they served as advisors to the earliest antediluvian (pre-Flood) kings of Sumer;17 and they brought Gifts of Civilization — the Apkallu taught humanity writing, law, architecture, agriculture, and the proper worship of the gods.18 Famous Apkallu figures included U-Anna (Oannes), who reportedly emerged from the sea daily to instruct people, and Adapa, considered the chief sage.19

7.2 Nephilim

The Nephilim are explicitly named in Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33.

Genesis 6:4

“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.”20

Numbers 13:33

“And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”20

7.21 What do the Nephilim look like?

The physical appearance of the Nephilim (aka Shemsu-Hor and Apkallu) is indicated by the photographs of Nephilim remains shown in this series of posts about the long-head beings. In particular, as was stated in relation to Paracas long-skull remains shown in Long-heads of America, those skulls are at least 25% larger and up to 60% heavier than normal human skulls, structurally different to normal human skulls, and genetically very different to humans. That is what we might have expected the sons of God [Anunnaki] x human female hybrids to look like as per Genesis 6:4.

7.22 What became of the Nephilim?

As the Nephilim DNA spread across the human population, to varying extents the Nephilim became us. In other words, to varying degrees, we are descendants of the sons of God / Anunnaki — we are blood relatives of those ET humanoids.

8. The original creation of humans

In a future post it will be shown that:

  • The “sons of God” (Genesis 6:4) are the Anunnaki — a name that roughly translates from Sumerian and Akkadian as “those who descended from heaven” or “princely offspring” of the sky god An (Anu) and the earth goddess Ki21 and
  • Earlier in Earth’s history, before Anunnaki males mated with human females to produce the Nephilim hybrids, the Anunnaki created humans though genetic engineering involving their own genetic material. That evidence is consistent with the evidence referred to in ETs created humans showing that (a) humans did not result from evolution and (b) humans (and some other creatures) are the result of genetic engineering.
