Egyptian mummies, more than three to four thousand years old, have long remained a mystery in terms of the genome. Deciphering it was not only interesting from a scientific point of view, it would make it possible to determine where the people who became the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt came from, shedding light on the history of the development of human society.
A group of German researchers from the Max Planck Scientific Society and the University of Tübingen managed to decipher the genome of the ancient mummies of Egypt. The most surprising thing was that the indigenous people of Africa have nothing to do with the pharaohs. Genomic studies have shown that the ancestors of the modern Egyptians came from Asia, they are residents of the territories where Abkhazia, Georgia, Lebanon, as well as the Turks of southern Europe are currently located.
By the way, Swiss scientists from Zurich largely confirmed the conclusions of German researchers by analyzing the DNA of Tutankhamun's mummy. The fact is that the genome of this ruler of Ancient Egypt showed that he was generally a native European, his DNA corresponds to modern Spaniards, French or English, but certainly not to Africans, whose genetic structure is completely different.
It turns out that Ancient Egypt was a country of migrants from Europe, and Africans have nothing to do with this highly developed society.
