Tutankhamun's Great-Grandmother Found to Have Blonde Hair
https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=60353

From The Daily Star:
Egyptian noblewoman Tjuyu – who is believed to have died in 1375 BC – is most widely known as being the great-grandmother of legendary pharaoh Tutankhamun.

Her tomb was found in 1905 -- 18 years before Tut's -- but it has rarely been opened.

In Channel 5 documentary The Nile: Egypt's Great River, historian Bettany Hughes was given the chance to witness such an occasion at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

This is the targeted message.

Wow, that preservation and embalming keeps hair from degrading!

I think a lot of people don't consider the Daily Star to be very reputable.

Also searching for the headline online, there aren't any major papers and agencies 'covering' the story.

This is interesting and to be expected, but it makes one wonder if the particular news article is true. We know this for a fact, but this is extra evidence, and are we sure if it's true beyond any doubt? As in verified? What Fancy said is correct here.
