There is plenty of
indication of Hittite involvement with the Pharonic family and this would
explain the DNA results alone. As well I
also suspect that the original deltaic state was a key Atlantean colony as well
in order to dominate and control the Suez Canal or its equivalent. For that reason a large population of Europeans
would also have been established there as well.
We know little of the
early Atlantean empire except to say at appeared spontaneously in the archeological
record about 2400 BC on a global basis.
The prehistory was thus a local affair somewhere else and consisted of
the establishment of trade factories at best.
The global emergence saw massive global building that is becoming much
clearer and is plausibly linked to an unusual Bronze Age technology that
harnessed the Earth’s natural frequencies.
What it meant is that European
led palace trade factories became a global phenomenon to market copper from the
Great lakes in particular.
Half of European men
share King Tut's DNA

1 (Reuters Life!) - 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. (Edited by Paul Casciato)
