Oh, the stupid is strong with this one.
Reading comprehension is important, people. The challenge was to give me one EXTERNAL Egyptian source that can corroborate the existence of King Tut. Do you two know what "external" means? That means corroborating sources OUTSIDE of Egypt, not WITHIN Egypt.
SMH.

Is it day of the imbecile or something? Since I signed up I didn't have the displeasure to read so many utterly stupid comments by believers. The Tut comment of his mayesty really is something very special in the annals of ignorance. Someone should preserve it for future generations, as a warning what being high on religion can do to your mind.
What is stupid? The fact that I asked for external Egyptian evidence for King Tut's existence, or the fact that you are unable to provide an answer for it?
I think the latter is stupid.

Congratulations, you have expressed the worst analogy of the day! Thanks for the chuckle. Now go sit in the corner and don't come out until you thoroughly understand how incredibly fucking inane it was and why.
^At this point, I'm leaning toward tenacious Poe. But that's just me being optimistic.^
Well, consciousness correlates with the brain, and a car engine correlates with a car. Seemed pretty spot on to me.

I sympathize with the fact that you feel that way.

A classic example of the 'argument from ignorance' fallacy.
Nicely played sir, nicely played.
It's almost as if you have not kept up with the last 2 decades of major advancement in the neurosciences.
Lots of good science on the origin of consciousnesses. Magic not required.
Bullcrap. When you say "lots of good science", that is synanomous with "lots of good research". Well, there has been "lots of good research" on the existence of Big Foot...but so far, no one has been able to produce a body

Before you can explain where consciousness came from, you have to explain where did life come from...because you can't have consciousness without life.
So please..people..just stop.
