@WesternInvasion Abolishing the EU wont do anything. UK left EU and they only got more migrants in return.
Also Hungary and Poland who refuse to accept refugees have no issue with sucking the money of "cucked" Western Europeans.

@KeMeT_roots I doubt that. Trade migrations don't form large folk migration and ~10% Nubian (surely Dinka tribes were not migrating as merchants to Egypt) is quite a big number for Egypt's population. The shift likely takes later than the Roman era but it is not known.
Copts owned slaves.

@tchaiku Roman period onward: SSA ancestry rises in Egypt mainly via trade, migration, and Nile movements. Muslims were the primary slave owners; Copts weren’t allowed to own slaves, though some gene flow still reached them through the same population movements.

Closest matches to ancient Egyptian Old Kingdom Nuwayrat I’ve seen across ANY dataset:
-Akbari2026
I36132 (closest)
mtDNA: J1d1a1
I36135 (3rd)
Y-DNA: I-M170
mtDNA: M1a
Haven’t seen any ancient or modern sample from anywhere w/Nuwayrat as their #1 distance besides these two.

@KeMeT_roots Why do Copts score more SSA after the Roman period? Did they own slaves like the Muslims did?

@iosif_lazaridis @HeraldOfRome You'll hear a lot of silly theories from the gang when they are boxed in with facts and nowhere to go.

@HeraldOfRome Deriving Anatolians as mainland Greek + Levant is rather convoluted and ahistorical. Roman Anatolians are basically BA Anatolians with a little western shift (perhaps from Greeks or Phrygians) not some Greek+Levant/Mesopotamia mix that wiped out BA Anatolian precursors.

Imperial Romans from Italy are statistically indistinguishable from Roman-Byzantine Anatolians or, secondarily, 1st millennium BC Anatolians. Their main source was Anatolia-like, and definitely not Aegean-like; they also had negligible Italian IA ancestry.

You’ve probably heard the claim that the “eastern” ancestry showing up in Imperial Roman-era Central Italy came directly from the Middle East. But in reality, most of it seems to have come through the Aegean, from the ancient Greeks, rather than being a direct Levantine input. Only a minority of the eastern admix came from the Levant. In fact, the new Roman-era Greeks from Tenea (Corinthia) seem to be almost the same genetically to one-third of Imperial Rome DNA samples, and they also show up as the biggest contributor in the Iron Age Italian admixed cluster. So in Imperial Central Italy you mainly see two genetic profiles: (1) an Aegean/Greek-like cluster (2) a Graeco-Italian genetic profile of Aegean (Greek) mixed with Iron Age Italian, where the Aegean part can be well-proxied by ancient Greeks like Roman-era Tenea. pastebin.com/qwtVXzkp

@iosif_lazaridis Prof Laz, unrelated but can you insist the Labs to work on Egyptian genomes?
There is the Old to Middle Kingdom transition, that has been attributed to Hyksos which is silly cause Hyksos were like Visigoths in Spain, not to mention the Pharaoh got rid of some.

"alleged sub-Caucasian source of PIE"
2022/2025
Tom Rowsell@Tom_Rowsell
Remembering in 2022 when I politely pushed back on the Southern Arc hypothesis, and suggested Harvard didn't have proper evidence of the alleged sub-Caucasian source of PIE and that they had ignored Sredny Stog. Then loads of brown people said I was "coping" or "crashing out". Then in 2024 when the same authors published a paper debunking their own claims and showing Sredny Stog was indeed, as I had suggested, the original PIE culture, there was not one among my detractors decent enough to admit "Rowsell was right".

@SamAndrews1017 @MiroCyo Nilotic effect. Egyptians and West Africans do share some uniparentals and ancestry tho.

Facial reconstruction of a man from Serhiivka, Ukraine, in the Steppe Dnieper region, associated with the Yamnaya culture.
The man suffered from osteoarthritis, likely as a result of aging rather than a pathological condition.

There's a disturbing theory about why female mummies found in ancient Egypt are often far more decomposed than their male counterparts.
It's because male bodies were embalmed much sooner than female bodies, which were often kept hidden for several days until they started to rot.
The reason was to discourage embalmers from engaging in necrophilia with the bodies.

In 1974, the mummified body of Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II was sent on a flight to Paris for preservation and maintenance work.
Since French law required every person, living or dead, to fly with a valid passport, Egypt had to issue a passport to the Pharaoh, 3,000 years after his death.

@tchaiku Albania_Kenete_Medieval actually falls on an Assyrian/Mesopotamian to IA Balkan cline while Shtike falls on a West Anatolian to IA Balkan cline. This has never been seen in any Antiquity Balkan population before.
This is also reflected by Kenetes Y haplogroup (T-Y6033)
