Which Y haplogroup did Alexander the Great belong to?

Yes I2a2, there's even I2 in modern Egypt at an extremely low percentage due to the Greeks. But it's a rare clade, so if I was a betting man I'd say e-v13 or j2

What I2a clade were they? Some Slavs did make it to Africa as mercenaries and slaves. In the kingdom of Nekor they rebelled and founded a city in the mountains. It’s being excavated as far as I know.

Slavs my ass ,not denying any impact but they are overestimated...you know how you say your own Y is founder effect or as others say about autosomals that were intergrated in Vlach(and in our case Epirotan)groups? that's more likely the reason in this case too and not because all Greek disappeared then replaced etc..

Oh for sure. Just meant more clade specific. There’s already a Greek founder clade in I2a1b though rare. I’m sure some of them were Latinized Proto Slavs that arrived as Vlachs.

I don’t believe the straight forward tunnel vision narrative they compose. In my case probably a Proto Slav that was absorbed by Proto-Albanians and expanded with them taking part in the ethnogenesis.

I’m sure Ancient Greece prior to classical era had way more G and J2a than the classical era. They were still Greeks though. Regardless of the new arrivals.

Unless their Slavic matches are close it’s likely mostly founder effects from few tribes that remained and were hellenized in the early Middle Ages 7-8th centuries. Or Albanized in my case.
