So it seems yet another Egyptian(s) has been tested for DNA and it has come out as African. While the two brothers (half brothers?) weren't Egyptian rulers they were high ranking Egyptian noblemen.

Modern DNA testing confirms the African profile of the two Egyptian mummies:

"We study the kinship of two high-status Egyptians from the 12th Dynasty.. Ancient DNA was extracted from the teeth of the two mummies.. Sequences were obtained after hybridization capture of mtDNA and Y chromosome DNA.. Both mummies belong to mt haplotype M1a1, suggesting a maternal relationship.... Y DNA sequences showed variations, indicating that the mummies had different fathers..The SNP identities were consistent with mtDNA haplogroup M1a1 with 88.05–91.27% degree of confidence, thus confirming the African origins of the two individuals."

Moving on... Of M1a dated THIS early in Egyptian history i.e the 12th dynasty then that means this study is completely irrelevant.

^^It was starting to become irrelevant with that Moroccan study. But more importantly it seems L3 and M1 was very prevalent in Northeast Africa especially during the time of these two mummies. M1 and L3 were very low in that study about the Abusir mummies. Which means there was an increase of Eurasian ancestry by the time of the Greek/European periods. Euronuts aren't going to like that.

a term cacs and c00ns use to mock those who have an interest in black consciousness.

I don't know what he's talking about since..

1. The posters tagged do NOT post in the HL but mostly the Root.

2. We discuss these types of threads more often in the root with better discussions.

3. If he wants to call the Root hotep then fine then at least its not a bunch of smart dumb liberals.
