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 study is about Egyptians even before Alexander the Great’s conquest, looks even they were European.

The original source was Daily Mail. Not the most reliable either, but not a conspiracy site.

I thought Cleopatra settled this a long time ago...

And why aren't any girls the past few hundred years named "Cleopatra"? It's a great name. We've got Gertrudes and Maudes in my family.

The article is from your source, the nut site, it isn’t written by the Daily Mail.

The Ptolemaics came later, but the Celts crossed into N Africa much earlier. The Pharoahs at least have Celtic DNA.

Not all Caucasians are white, and most middle easterners are Caucasians.

Technically, Europeans and Asians are descended from migrants from Africa. The light skin color is an evolutionary adaptation which sacrifices protection from UV sunlight for increased vitamin D production.

The Anatolian Farmer Hypothesis was discarded, even by its own creator, in favor of the Yamnaya hypothesis.

If you were to check the DNA of the Native Americans who lived in New England before 1500, would you expect them to have Souix or Cherokee DNA? Or would you think they would have shared DNA with those who lived in the Northeast?

The blacks want to “own” Egypt. Facts are tough things some times.

Eventually, they’ll probably find that all of us are ultimately Middle Eastern or Eurasian.

It is tough being part of a race that has done nothing other than kill each other in tribal wars.

Gots to make stuff up don’t you know.

Undoubtedly will be declaimed as racist by the Mother Africa proponents.

Cyrus H. Gordon, American scholar of Near Eastern cultures and ancient languages, mentions that Egyptians were Caucasian.

They are not duplicate articles.

Instead of sending people to a nut source why not just use the Daily Mail article?

the ancient Egyptians were closely related to populations in the Levant – now modern day Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Israel.

Except for European Turkey, those countries are in Asia, not Europe. So the ancient Egyptians were mostly of Asian ancestry.
