If more than 50% of European men, but less than 1% of modern-day Egyptians, share the same ancestry ("genetic profile") as the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, then all those priceless "Egyptian antiquities" are in fact more the heritage and inheritance of Europeans than of today's Egyptians.

Does this mean we can expect the UN Commission for Antiquities to assert that Egypt should return all those treasures to Europeans - as they had (apparently) mistakenly asserted that Europe and America should return them to "Egyptians?"

Egyptians with ability and intelligence living under the Pharaohs would have had a strong incentive to emigrate. Many did, to Greece and elsewhere in the Mediterranean region, taking Egyptian civilization and technology with them.

Egyptians settled in Greece. Later on Greeks established colonies in Italy and probably helped with the rise of Roman civilization.

The UN will merely conclude that Tut was genetically racist. Oh, and that the DNA results are wrong, because he was really black African.
