According to geneticists at Switzerland-based iGENEA DNA genealogy test center, [b]up to 70 percent of British men and half of all Western European men are related to King Tut.[/b] iGENEA reconstructed the DNA profile of the boy king in 2009 after carrying out extended DNA-tests with the mummy of Tutankamun and other members of his family, including his father Akhenaten and his grandfather Amenhotep III. The result of the DNA-tests showed that King Tut belonged to haplogroup R1b1a2, which more than 50 percent of all men in Western Europe belong to, iGENEA said in a statement. The R1b1a2-lineage is believed to have originated about 9,500 years ago in the Black Sea region, researchers said, adding that the haplogroup began to migrate to Europe with the spread of agriculture since 7,000 BC...." http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/190737/20110802/king-tut-pharaoh-tutankhamun-mummies-tutankhamun-mummy-king-tut-mummy-egypt-boy-king-tut-s-lineage-d.htm [/QB][/QUOTE]
