. They looked like the Italians of today (or anyone else in the Middle East.)

So your trying to tell me that in ancient north east Africa the ruling elite was more anglo saxon looking..... Ok mate sure it was
No. He specifically said Mediterranean.
Anglo-Saxons didn't even exist in Ancient Egyptian times.
Do you know how many ethnic groups there are in Africa? They number in the thousands. Each with their own customs and cultural traditions.
The animosty between many of these ethnic groups has been the driving factor between most African conflicts of the 20th & 21st centuries. The Congolese Civil War and the Rwandan Civil War being particularly notable examples.
Are you going to say the Coptic people of Egypt and Sudan looked indistinguishable from say, the Shona of Zimbabwe? That is a most racist viewpoint.

today about 95 years ago archaeologists entered first time to the tomb of the Child Pharaoh Tutankhamen, it was the first time a completely sealed Royal Egyptian tomb was found in modern times, luckily it was not profaned by tomb thieves.
The tomb was not going to be unsealed until February 16th 1923 though.
There is a whole lot wrong with the story the public were fed back then and the whole hidden by flowers in KV-67 and the company Howard Carter kept , the El rassuel ? family of grave robbers and Carters statement on getting the sack from the dig and why wallis Budge was summoned to Egypt by him only to be told that it was linen swatches that were in the kilts of the sentinels guarding the tomb .
Wonder where the Jewellery that was recovered from the cemetery of the apes went and the rumor of the 3 aircraft landing and taking off from the valley of the kings and why the Golden mask everyone calls Tuts mask which may have been his older brother from another mother was found in a whisky crate when Carter was sacked .
Carter was like Hitler , there is missing time in his history

How come many ancient mummies have blonde and red hair if there were no anglo-saxons?

Tut supposedly was inbred, he was effeminate, had womanly hips and bum/disfigured feet. Do we really want to say he was Caucasoid?

A number of different reasons. Some (Greeks, Romans, others) bleached their hair. Sometimes (possibly Ramesses II) this was due to the chemicals present in mummification/the environment. And sometimes they had red or blond hair.

None of the above conditions excludes him from being Caucasiod (or Asian or African, for that matter.)

Tut “looks like” a black man, DNA not of a black man, probably identified as a non gender specific Abrams tank.

Maybe take a science course where you could learn why Egyptian mummies appear black when unwrapped. It's because the bodies were coated in bitumen amongst other things. A modern day application of its use is as a binding agent in asphalt and why asphalt too is black.
