Sweet! And its 18th and 19th dynasties- without having to wait for "Nubian" 25th Dynasty to show up:
quote Recap for the record:
"Abstract Estimates of living stature, based on X-ray measurements applied to the Trotter & Gleser (1958) negro equations for the femur, tibia and humerus, have been made for ancient Egyptian kings belonging to the 18th and 19th dynasties. The corresponding equations for whites give values for stature that are unsatisfactorily high. The view that Thutmose III was excessively short is proved to be a myth. It is shown that the limbs of the pharaohs, like those of other Ancient Egyptians, had negroid characteristics, in that the distal segments were relatively long in comparison with the proximal segments. An exception was Ramesses II, who appears to have had short legs below the knees." -- G. Robins, C.C.D. Shute. 1983. "The physical proportions and living stature of New Kingdom Pharaohs.
