[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [qb]Thanks for the replies, guys. I now think that the Delta and the rest of Northern Egypt was extensively settled by Asiatics from the Levant and that the Copts are their descendants. I wonder if we will see experts delve into this very likely possibility. I also doubt that Egyptian authorities will ever authorise DNA testing on early dynastic royalty -- dynasties that were dominated by the South. I'm not really surprised that posters on Forumbiodiversity have assumed the position that three [3] late dynasty samples are all that is required to overturn all the many lines of evidence that affirm that ancient Egypt started from the South. [/qb][/QUOTE]The authors state in the study itself that genetic data from southern Egypt is needed for comparisons, and that there are limitations with the data only coming from one site. I won't be surprised if much of northern Egypt in particular looked like Abusir. In fact other studies have said that after state formation upper Egypt started to resemble lower Egypt more after the early kingdoms.So even upper Egypt may have had noticeable levels of mixture by the second millennium B.C. The direction of Egyptian culture and state formation isn't really something a genetics study would be able to illustrate on it's own tho imo. They would need additional data to illustrate the direction of cultural hegemony. That sounds weird.. [/QB][/QUOTE]
