This is my YDNA (R1b) map and is the same as 90% of the Irish and 68% of all other Europeans.
See the 'spur' just above M45...those are the R2 line that boggied out to Asia. The R1 (R1a & R1b) are European lines.

You are wrong. Some of the people of Egypt do have some descent from the ancient Egyptians of Pharaonic times, but most are not. The majority are descended from Arabs and other races. In fact entire nations in the Middle East have been replaced by other races of people who were not the original inhabitants of those nations.
Dr Hawass warned last month that if the Berlin loan is refused, then “we will fight to bring back this bust for good”.
Taqiyya? Bundle of contradictions? Anti-truth, anti-freedom liar?
Threats are for weak people.
Because that was not the question under discussion. You are asserting that everyone has a common ancestry. That if we search back far enough, we will find a common ancestor between a random person living in England today, and an Egyptian of 3,000 years ago.
I am making the much stronger claim, that an Englishman chosen at random is directly descended from every pyramid builder whose blood line has not been extinguished.
It takes about 1500-2000 years before we can make such a claim. But after that point, any person either has no descendants, or everyone on Earth is their descendant. And the pyramids are all older than 2000 years old, so I can make this particular claim with no particular doubts.

And just how much monetary aid are we and the rest of the west paying Egypt to act reasonably like a civilized country?

Last I heard it was $2-3 billion a year. (We're not getting our moneys worth)
That should keep them busy for quite a while.
‘That’s the thing about the BM, nothing in it is British.’
The British museum contains interesting things from the parts of the world Britain has owned, invaded or ruled, so it gives plenty of scope, but it does have huge numbers of British items as well:

‘Another question: Should the British return all the stuff they took from Greece as well?’
Of course we should. We plan to do it on the same day you give America back to the Indians you took it from! :)
” The people living in England are also blood descendants of the Pyramid builders.’
That’s funny, they don’t LOOK like Egyptians...
“Tell the Egyptians to go pound sand.’
Go right to the experts, eh? I’d expect the Egyptians then to tell the British to go sand pounds.
Long ago, Lord Elgin was guilty of Statuary Rape; but if Greece got them back now, he'd lose his marbles.
This study introduces a large-scale, detailed computer model of recent human history which suggests that the common ancestor of everyone alive today very likely lived between 2,000 and 5,000 years ago. Furthermore, the model indicates that nearly everyone living a few thousand years prior to that time is either the ancestor of no one or of all living humans.
Me thinks your doctor is a friend of Al Gore. He casts his hypothesis in extremes much like the Global Warming crowd. Really, a common ancestor of everyone alive could have lived as recently as 2,000 years ago - from the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
This Y DNA is new to me. I just checked out some websites on the topic. It looks like some sites offer genuine insight and others are looking to hustle people with tests that promise a report back to the beginning. It must take a lot of your time sifting through these sites.
Make that DNA, not DNS.
