Pharaoh Obama?

Want to see something interesting? Some Israeli bloggers couldn't help but notice some similarities in the facial structure of Mr. Obama and Pharaoh Akhenaten:


How interesting would it be if Mr. Obama's father's family had ties back to the 18th dynasty of Egypt? This isn't that far fetched as the 18th dynasty of Egypt controlled a good portion of the Sudan and some less important members of the royal family did flee south in the upheaval following the death of Tutankhamun and minor civil war that lead to the foundation of the 19th dynasty.

Of course some Israelis have their own, less flattering, comparisons of Mr. Obama to Pharaoh, but that's another issue.
