Washington Post: Ancient Egyptians were European

[invalid]

Though the gene clustering was closer to the Near East it is still an open question of how their ancestry was constructed. Egyptologists, even Black ones, have long known the Delta was more Near Eastern while Upper Egypt more African. Oh well

This still would have been a population that did an out of Africa migration, then reentry, right?

The primary data in this paper is from the mtDNA since this is better preserved over time. They had 160 or so individuals they got mtDNA from and that is how they derived their primary results. Only 3 mummies had suitable sex chromosome (Y chromosomes) to study. So pretty much all their conclusion is based on mitochondrial DNA which records maternal ancestry.

Thanks. I have enough general knowledge to know the difference between the Ychrome, mtDNA, and Autosomal test. The paper says STR analysis. What is that? Is that another term for mtDNA testing?

Its deeper than just denying Blacks their own shyt.
Ive said it before its about religion..christianity and Judaism emerged from the Egypt Ethiopia line, thats why they claim Ethiopians are Caucasian and they try insert themselves into egypt history. The idea that Africans gave the world 2 major religions that cacs love is whst will kill their societies.

They got the Horners under Caucasians. The audacity. The earliest man was black and African.

Possibly, I honestly don't know enough to say for sure but that would possibly be the case they were the descendants from the reentry migration.

I don't care about this anymore.

Let them have it. If they want ancient Egypt so bad take it.

Just remember Mother Nature will sort it out.
If they are trying to cover up something then some hidden bones or whatever will just keep blowing up their argument.

STR is a "short tandem repeat" which is a stretch of DNA where a sequence of bases (common example "GATA") repeat multiple times in a row. There are a lot of different loci in the genome that have STR but it is valuable because the number of repeats of the sequences at each loci vary by ethnicity and individual. Matching number of repeats in different loci can approximate ethnicity and also be used for exact paternity testing.

In anthropology the mutation rate (relatively constant) in known STRs between groups can also be used to estimate divergence times of population ancestry. I can't access the paper behind Science's paywall so I can't comment on its exact use in the paper.

Y'all know they were black and falling for the bullshyt, what does that say.

And people really trust these DNA tests

Skull shapes, limb lengths, trichometer indexes, DNA testing and melanin tests all suggest East African though

Besides we ain't talking about 2,500 years ago when Egypt was a bustling multiracial metropolis. And we definitely ain't talking about Lower Egypt where they got these mummies from when AE was controlled from Upper Egypt during most of the time we would be concerned about....the Upper Egypt that's right next to Sudan not the Lower Egypt that's next to Israel Gotta learn to spot cac tricks when you see them. They got mummies from 1300 BC to 400 AD from a mixed part of Egypt when the argument is which race started Ancient Egypt 5,000 years ago. Which race rose out of the Nile Valley area to start the first Dynastic era. Everything we know about them points to East Africans. Keep believing cacs though. With this logic you could dig up black bodies 2,000 years from now in the Southern US and say the Americans must have been black

Who does? the anthropology committee?

Every 5 to 10 years somebody comes out of the woodwork to say they have proof that Egyptians were white, it kicks up a storm for a minute then it fades BECAUSE ITS NOT TRUE. Remember when they tried to claim that king tut was from the British isles? Also take into account that Africa are the MOST GENETICALLY DIVERSE population, and also before the wars you could go to Sudan on vacation and look at pyramids built by egyptian dynasties that were undeniably black from Nubia.

It's never going to be true because there's no way they could be white or Arab. The problem or the issue here is Egypt became a mixed race society so it allows racist whites the space to argue against Egypt being an African society and they can easily trick people because there was some white, Middle Eastern and Berber types in Egypt but Egypt was founded by black people the same way France or England was founded by whites. It just became mixed later the same way London and Paris have mixed populations there today.

If you go back to the very beginning....5000 BC to 3500 BC....they were very black. Most would've been migrants from the Sahara. Egypt was a small colony at the time with Nubia being the regional power. The early Egyptians' skullshapes didn't match Arabic groups. They matched East Africans. The Egyptian's limbs were too long to be Arabic. They matched East Africans. The Egyptians trichometer indexes showed their hair was too curly to be Arabic. They matched Sub-Saharan Africans. Then you throw in the melanin dosage tests, DNA testing, artwork, them speaking an Afroasiastic language, the worship of cattle, general common sense, Egyptian oral history about their beginnings, and what we know about the movements of early humans and it's impossible for Early Egyptians to have been anything but Black.

The problem is Egypt in 3500 BC was a very black place but Egypt in 1000 BC was a mixed metropolis so whites who refuse to accept a Black origin will always have "some proof" to corroborate their racist viewpoints and the general public won't care enough to learn the truth because nobody gives a fukk about trichometer indexes or the lengths of limbs or which animals were worshipped by which groups
