[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [qb] I'm aware Egypt didn't start in the northern part. I'm just saying that the archoelogical record would make more Eurocentrists comfortable with revealing northern DNA. I'm not sure how Lower Egypt's mixture has "nothing to do with" anything. It has everything to do with it. Lower Egypt had 2-3 foreign invasions before any of this research was done and already had a connection to the Levant that extended to the predynastic. If you were a Eurocentric that wanted Egyptians to seem like a Levanite transplant (even before the state), would you use Old Kingdom southern Egyptians with ties with "Nubia" or would you use northern Egyptians after numerous migrations from the middle East? [/qb][/QUOTE]The amount of Levantine admixture has nothing to do with it because every time the invasions were repulsed they were repulsed from the South. After the 1st and 2nd intermediate periods the kingdom was restored from the South. The Kingdom was created from the South and the concepts and cultural influences flowed from the South. So if you want to look at the "roots" of the culture you have to go South. Folks can obsess over Levantine admixture all they want in Lower Egypt. The culture did not originate in and ultimately from Lower Egypt. So focusing on Levantine "roots" is focusing on irrelevant information as that is not the actual location of the origin of AE culture. As I have called out before, AE culture spilled over into the Levant from a very early period. And at one point AE as a nation had northern borders well within the Levant. So I am not shocked by or in denial of any Levantine mixture or influence in Lower Egypt that does not make the "roots" of AE culture Levantine. And most hardcore Eurocentrics, including Petrie and others basically will say that those Upper Egyptian "roots" were a result of Eurasian migrants from the Red Sea into Upper Egypt. That has been the traditional argument since the time of Petrie and still persists among many to this day. [/QB][/QUOTE]
