[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb]The amount of Levantine admixture has nothing to do with it because every time the invasions were repulsed they were repulsed from the South. [/qb][/QUOTE]After centuries of immigration and foreigners living in Egyptian territory. After thousands of years of Levanite mixed Lower Egyptians being citizens. If you're holding out for Upper Egypt to lack mixture until the Greeks and Romans you're likely to be disappointed. Much of Upper Egypt was probably changing into the Old Kingdom if not before. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] 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. [/qb][/QUOTE]True, but that was already acknowledged. The point was that they're going to focus on northern Egyptians because the archeology that preceded the selection of genetic samples deemed them a "safe" bet. They know no matter where in time they go to get samples from Lower Egyptians, they are likely to get some "Levanite" mixture. The Egyptians are not understood by the public as "Lower" and "Upper" Egyptians with uniqueness. They're just Egyptians which is what makes sampling bias an easier sell. Many people want to see the Egyptians like Swedes instead of Americans with lots more diversity. [/QB][/QUOTE]
