Half of European men share King Tut's DNA

The not quite documented claims of a couple of years ago are being admitted in the mainstream.

Won't Calypso Louie be upset that the Egyptian pharaohs were not Mandingo warriors after all.

[It can be discovered that Tut came from a line of pharaohs that had intermarried with the Hittites, so we may consider them to have been Mischlings.]

LONDON (Reuters) - Up to 70 percent of British men and half of all Western European men are related to the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun, geneticists in Switzerland said.

Scientists at Zurich-based DNA genealogy centre, iGENEA, reconstructed the DNA profile of the boy Pharaoh, who ascended the throne at the age of nine, his father Akhenaten and grandfather Amenhotep III, based on a film that was made for the Discovery Channel.

The results showed that King Tut belonged to a genetic profile group, known as haplogroup R1b1a2, to which more than 50 percent of all men in Western Europe belong, indicating that they share a common ancestor.

Among modern-day Egyptians this haplogroup contingent is below 1 percent, according to iGENEA.

"It was very interesting to discover that he belonged to a genetic group in Europe -- there were many possible groups in Egypt that the DNA could have belonged to," said Roman Scholz, director of the iGENEA Centre.

Around 70 percent of Spanish and 60 percent of French men also belong to the genetic group of the Pharaoh who ruled Egypt more than 3,000 years ago.

"We think the common ancestor lived in the Caucasus about 9,500 years ago," Scholz told Reuters.

It is estimated that the earliest migration of haplogroup R1b1a2 into Europe began with the spread of agriculture in 7,000 BC, according to iGENEA.

However, the geneticists were not sure how Tutankhamun's paternal lineage came to Egypt from its region of origin.

The centre is now using DNA testing to search for the closest living relatives of "King Tut."

"The offer has only been publicised for three days but we have already seen a lot of interest," Scholz told Reuters.

The article states,

"We think the common ancestor lived in the Caucasus about 9,500 years ago," Scholz told Reuters.

It's amazing how hard they try to deny that Whites originated in Mesopotamia. Instead they come up with the absurd idea that Whites originated in the Caucasus and migrated to Egypt. Or originated in Africa, moved to the Caucasus, then moved to Egypt. :roll:

How did King Tut and White Europeans have a common ancestor in the Caucasus 9,500 years ago if, according to the article, Whites didn't migrate into that region until 9,000 years ago?

No real surprise here--iGenea, the company that did the DNA analysis of Tut was founded by a Jew:

And apparently, iGenea has a pseudo-scientific test to prove if you're a Jew or not--and they claim that they can prove if you're a Jew descended from the ancient Israelites:

Well in real terms I don't suppose the Caucasus is very far from Mesopotamia anyway. But you're right, it is a mealy way for them to word it.

Whoa whoa wait wait hold on here... I bet I can guess what the takeaway point is... we're all niggers, right?
