DNA from ancient Egyptian mummies reveals their ancestry
When they tried to use very late dynastic mummies In Lower Egypt to represent all Ancient Egyptians? Anyways, the maternal DNA of these mummies seem Horn of African/Nilotic.

Hail Biafra!
What was that study?

The Euronuts were getting excited when those other tested mummies came back as middle eastern. Those were mummies from very later periods while these mummies are from the 12th Dynasty. The mummies from the earliest Dynasties will always come out African.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."

This study.

Notice in the study are the same lineages as the one in this study but also U6. But look at this part.
Site Sample mtDNA Y-DNA
IAM(5300-4k) IAM.3 M1b1
IAM.4 U6a1b E-M35
IAM.5 U6a1b E-M35
IAM.6 U6a7
IAM.7 U6a3
I'll try and explain so everyone can grasps. The IAM represents an older African population in North Africa. While the KEB represents an older one. The IAM carried AFRICAN LINEAGES as you can see! Including M1 like in this study. While the KEB who were new comers were mainly Eurasian. This study is such a big deal because there was a study that showed that the Natufians(a Levantine farmer group) carried significant African E but showed little SSA admixture. Euronuts used this as an excuse to say they were NOT African. Also the abusir mummies from this study had some of this Natufian component. So people plugged the results from that study into their own computers(you can do that but its NOT the official results) to see the admixture and it did show significant Natufians. And so they further tried to claim the Ancient Egyptians were not African, meanwhile the author of the Natufian study did not even use North African admixture(hope your following).
HOWEVER...When that Moroccan study came out and showed the IAM population having an component specific to North Africa that is when their world came crashing. Because...
1. The Natufians most likely got their E lineages from this type of population and so the Natufians ultimately have African ancestry.
2. The Ancient Egyptians most likely had this type of ancestry, and we CAN NOT use the Natufians or the Abusir mummies to say they represent all of AE.
3. African lineages such as E-35, M1, U6 and L3(I'll get to that later) were PREVALENT around North Africa especially around the predynastic times.
All in all... THIS study and that Moroccan study make this study worthless. Euronuts only had a short victory when it came to Ancient Egypt. Hope I make sense because this is the best I can explain it.

Yeah I do. Cacs think they silk.
Then we have THIS study on the Tanzanian pastoralist..

Some say her people may have influenced predynastic Ancient Egypt. Euronuts were hoping she would be something else in terms of mtDNA instead she was true negroid L2a1

I think there is a conspiracy with Egyptology and the Egyptian Govt to NOT allow the evidence of the AE to be African otherwise they believe their tourism will tank big. Because no one wants to see "negro mummies."

Horners and Nilotics DNA should be prominent. Kush was was where they developed. That's my opinion.

Plus, Arabs are racist fukk as well. This makes alot of sense. But Egypt will always be black also tourism won't suffer even if cacs know that it is African. It's too iconic and the origin of all civilization.
M1 is frequent among Horners and Nilotics.
