Trust Gloria In Excelsis to post this kind of not at all titillating titbit.
Appearances can be deceptive, in some cases, even deceitful.
I thought that the story was going to culminate in “ I was / I used to be Egypt’s Pharaoh Ramses III in a former life”, in much the same manner that some people love to claim that they were either Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, John the Baptiser, Napoleon etc in an earlier life.
It’s always some great figure in history, but never, e.g. Adolf Hitler.
David Icke ( another nutter) used to be going on about “reptilian bloodlines” however, he was not the originator , he was only one of the purveyors of that so-called “conspiracy theory”. The last I heard of David Icke was in connection with his being charged with anti-Semitism. Not at all surprising since that sort of bad vibration is said to be the world’s oldest hatred, feeds a psychological need in some people, and that’s why it’s not surprisingly either that in their wish-fulfilling fantasy some people would long to be, specifically, the Pharaoh that oppressed the Hebrew slaves - worked them “ rigorously” during their 220 something years long sojourn in Egypt.
As for the nutters who occasionally surface with the improbable claim that they are Lord Jesus the Messiah , to bring them back safely down to earth reality we only need to ask the question, “Where are your disciples?”

A hasty PS:
From the story retold here it should be clear that Dexter Caffey, the gentleman in question cannot even be remotely associated with anti-Semitism , at least, not in the here and now.
Reminds me of a few lines from Ishmael Reed’s poem ,
I Am a Cowboy in the Boat of Ra
It must be a very long story about how unlike Moses, 3, 300 years ago he crossed not the Red Sea / Sea of Reeds but the Might Atlantic Ocean, all the way to Georgia, with or without any miraculous parting of the waters, and even a greater miracle, ( not a publicity stunt for his cyber tech Company) that he r has retained the original Pharaohs good looks after three and half millennia of genetic permutations linking him back to such a Pharaonic ancestry.
