Well Duh! It was an ADVANCED culture!

If you look at the racial distribution of Africa, in history, it seems that there is an East to West to South distribution of Black People.
Another thing that puzzled me was a statement of Herodotus was that Pygmies were living around Lake Chad.
Wow!! Relearning everything we we were taught!

Not if you took time to examine the evidence.. Egyptian paintings show them as being light skinned with blue eyes and straight hair... The blue eyes , at least in the tomb paintings , were usually blue gemstones (and were often stolen).
“discovered they shared genes with people from the Mediterranean”
Duh.. Egypt IS on the Mediterranean.
I’m pretty sure the DNA similarities come from the Hittites, not the latter day Turks that live there now (though the Turkish invaders surely interbred with the original inhabitants and still have some of the same genes).
Waysist! Waysist! 4 Shame !............/sarc AND LOL
Though modern day Turkey covers a large part of what was once called Anatolia, to say that the mummies have “Turkish” genealogy is a scientific error.
The Turks that comprise most of Turkey today came from central Asia long - more than a 1,000 years AFTER the mummies were buried, and did not conquer the area of Anatolia until around 1097 A.D.
The people in “Turkey” (Anatolia) at the times the mummies were buried were Arab, Greek, Assyrian, Kurd, Armenian, Jewish and Christian of various ethnic origins BUT NOT “Turkish”.
“Scientists” claim the general public wrongly dismisses “science”, when it is scientists fault for the phony “science” they keep delivering.
That’s not a statue of a slave. Only a Pharoah could wear that headress with the cobra on it, because it’s a symbol of the Pharaoh’s authority (like a crown). He is also holding the rod and scepter of a Pharoah, and it looks like the base of the statue has heiroglyphs enclosed in a cartouche, which was only done for the names of Pharoahs.
Egyptians routinely carved statues out of all manner of stone, it was not necessarily used to depict the skin color of the person they were portraying.
The Hitties were rivals of the Egyptians, but were basically the same kinds of people.
Though the "lost" empire of the Kush, was supposedly comprised of black Africans, their extremely brief time ruling over Egypt, did NOT make Egyptians "blacks"! They didn't intermarry and the whole bunch of them DISAPPEARED, shortly after they lost Lower Egypt, which was the ONLY teeny portion that they ever had any hold over.
“The Egyptians weren’t African-Americans?
Well Duh! It was an ADVANCED culture”
Well, I’ve always heard AA’s built this advanced culture.
The inhabitants of Anatolia -Turkiye- in 400 BC were not Turks. Turks swept in from Asia at later dates.
The writer just saw Anatolian origins and knows that Anatolia means Turkey ergo they must be Turks.
The first Egyptian rulers, way pre-dynastically speaking, were probably Sumerians.
Any modern region or country with some variation of GAL in its name is probably a place that was inhabited by Celts at some point in the past.
I think you're right.
Most scholarly stuff uses 'Turkic' to indicate the central Asian people distinguished from more recent 'Turks'. Was it just ignorance, or was the author trying to convey some PC idea?
It isn't precisely clear if the DNA indicates ancient Anatolians or ancient Turkic peoples.
Isn't there some thought that the ancient Egyptians came from farther WEST, driven into the Nile valley by the drying out of the once-fertile area now the Sahara?
The initiators and first bosses of the Egyptian civilization were probably Sumerians. The population may well have migrated east as you suggest.
