DNA Study Finds Ancient Egyptians Were European, Not African

Scientists analysing ancient DNA from Egyptian mummies have discovered they overwhelmingly share genes with people from Europe and not Africa, as previously believed.

The first ever full-genome study of mummies dating from 1400 BC to 400 AD found that the ancient Egyptians were closely related to populations in the Levant – now modern day Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Israel.

Daily Mail reports: They were also genetically similar to Neolithic populations from the Anatolian Peninsula and Europe. In plain English, Egyptians were related to Persians, Rome and Greece whom were all white European people.

The groundbreaking study used recent advances in DNA sequencing techniques to undertake a closer examination of mummy genetics than ever before.

The study, published in Nature Communications, found that modern Egyptians who are actually just Arab invaders, share more ancestry with Sub-Saharan Africans than ancient Egyptians did.

The data shows that modern Egyptians share approximately eight per cent more ancestry on the nuclear level with Sub-Saharan African populations than with ancient Egyptians.

Egypt is a promising location for the study of ancient populations because it was a world-wide trading hub.

This is likely the reason that ancient Egyptians had such a diverse genetic heritage, the authors, from the University of Tuebingen and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, said…

This is a very racist study.

This study was done SEVEN YEARS AGO!

Must be a slow news day.

“...they overwhelmingly share genes with people from Europe and not Africa, as previously believed.’

Lol. Who believed this? It’s obvious from the statuary. DNA only confirms it. The Europeans moved into North Africa because they were sea traders and there was that inconvenient Sahara desert separating the north from central Africa. That and the fact that the Africans, like the Native Americans never progressed past tribalism.

That was later, during the New Kingdom.

Who needs DNA? Just look at the mummies and the paintings in the tombs.

There were two big waves of colonization into europe in the last 8000 years. The first wave was anatolian farmers—who started coming westward 5000-6000 bc. (the second group nomadic herders from present day ukraine who started coming westward about 3000 BC.)

its unlikely that the first group of anatolian farmers only went westward. more likely they also moved southward into syria israel and egypt—as well as southeast into mesopotamia.

Well there goes the whole Blacks built the pyramids story.
I agree with Jesse Lee Peterson that they have only torn things down.
