[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [qb] They keep pushing the origins of Lower Egyptians who the archeological record pointed had a relationship to the Levant during the predynastic. It's not a coincidence that all this genetic data you're getting is Lower Egyptian, or from some part of Egypt that received immigration from foreigners. If the data from southern Egyptians and Sudanese that you have thus far isn't matching this study, what then does that likely suggest about Egypt? [/qb][/QUOTE]Ancient Egypt didn't start in Lower Egypt and Amarna was an Upper Egyptian family from Luxor. Whether or not Lower Egypt had a lot or a little mixture with outside populations from the Levant really has nothing to do with it. They keep pushing the Levant because they don't want to acknowledge the substantially more connections between Egypt and areas to the South. So like everything else they focus on that"evidence" that reinforces and supports their claims of Levantine/Eurasian mixture and population affinity in AE but downplay and ignore the connections and affinity to other parts of Africa. This applies to all dynasties not just Amarna. Again, if this was the case the evidence should line up consistently. If the family was from Lower Egypt and showed other evidence of ties with the Levant through correspondence and mostly if the iconography of Amarna depicted a more "levantine" looking group, then no problem. But they don't. The majority of the evidence points to a local Upper Egyptian family with ties to upper Egypt and iconography that reflects indigenous African, not Levantine features. Theoretical concepts don't trump facts. [/QB][/QUOTE]
