[QUOTE]Originally posted by Andromeda2025: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] Funny you should mention that. The first attempts at DNA testing were made in the late 90s on the Giza royal mummies. The results were not revealed and were declared "inconclusive" though the SCA head Hawass claimed that if the results were released it could give Jews/Israelis for claiming Egypt. I was always puzzled by this claim. Perhaps they've identified the SNP elements (E-M215) also found in Jews(?) Another study was done in the early 2000-ones with the same sample of Giza royals and their conclusions were that they differed little from local Baladi (native) Giza workers today (many of whom are 'black' in appearance). The problem was that the details of these analysese were never disclosed to the public. It was only years later that other studies were done for the purpose of ascertaining familial relations, though as we all know certain clues such as STRs were taken and used to ascertain population relations. [/qb][/QUOTE]Early 2000 there was a study done on mummies. However the paper is unknown to me. There is mention of this in: "The Secrets of the Pharaohs: Lost City of the Pyramids" February 21, 2001 by Mark Rose First aired February 20, 2001 http://archive.archaeology.org/online/reviews/secrets/index2.html I never saw the actual paper, stating that ancient Egyptians (work force) are the same as [i]modern Egyptians "living in the Nile Valley"[/i]. The video linked here below, shows a snipped of the PBS documentary: "PROOF Modern Egyptians descend from Ancient Egyptians" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz50_nx8UDg I always assumed video / article above was about the following paper by A. Stevanovitch et al., 29 January 2004. But that can't be, since this paper is younger than the early 2000 there was a study. [QUOTE] Summary [b]The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity of 58 individuals from Upper Egypt, more than half (34 individuals) from Gurna, whose population has an ancient cultural history, were studied by sequencing the control-region and screening diagnostic RFLP markers.[/b] This sedentary population presented similarities to the Ethiopian population by the L1 and L2 macrohaplogroup frequency (20.6%), by the West Eurasian component (defined by haplogroups H to K and T to X) and particularly by a high frequency (17.6%) of haplogroup M1. We statistically and phylogenetically analysed and compared the Gurna population with other Egyptian, Near East and sub-Saharan Africa populations; AMOVA and Minimum Spanning Network analysis showed that the Gurna population was not isolated from neighbouring populations. [b]Our results suggest that the Gurna population has conserved the trace of an ancestral genetic structure from an ancestral East African population, characterized by a high M1 haplogroup frequency. The current structure of the Egyptian population may be the result of further influence of neighbouring populations on this ancestral population.

[/qb][/QUOTE]High rates of M1 without ancestor L3? Interesting. X & R misclassified L3? [/QB][/QUOTE]
