Rest is simply gibberish.

I suppose that Abraham might be E-CTS1273. It has TMRCA about 4000 ybp and is widely distributed. It exapnded violently. It is present not only in Old Continent, but also in Near East (although it is not as frequent here as in for example Albania). Current distribution of it might be a proof of scattering of Israelites (who are descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob). I believe that the world is about 6000 years old.

Another candidates for Abraham's haplogroup can be found in haplogroup J1. Some candidates could be: J-Y3081, J-FGC11 and J-Y6074

E wasn't in Middle east, only J

But E-CTS12273 expanded violently about 4000 years before present. On YFull trees of J1 and J2 I did not found any subclade expanding as suddenly about 4000 ybp as E-CTS1273. But I believe in the existence of Abraham even when he was not of haplogroups E-CTS1273 or J1 or J2.

If you want to talk about biblical Abraham, not imaginery one,
then he cannot be E, as his relation with this people broke off
on the most basic level of affinity, even maybe pre-E.
