Ancient Egyptians on GEDmatch

So..they weren't "WE WAZ KANGS N SHIEET", lol. I've been saying this for many years now; the ancient Egyptians cluster the closest to their modern descendants and their neighbors in the southern Levant and Arabia.

First look at ancient Egyptian mtDNA:

Hyksos king Epaphus I/Apopis I ruled in Egypt in about 1645 BC.

But the Hyksos didn't replaced the population of Egypt though, and the Egyptians cluster the closest to Arabians who are genetically predominately Natufian than to the today's genetic isolated groups of the Levant who are genetically more northern due to the admixture with the ancient Anatolians.

This is a wooden bust King Tut's mother, Thuya:



But this is Thuya's mummy, big difference in appearance:

not really it looks kind of close. The nose is probably just hooked on the skull because when they removed the brains for the mummification process it probably made it like that. They used to hook out the brain from the nasal cavity / nose

The bust looks east african too.

Never implied that. Aren't those samples from Egyptian royalty/kings anyway

No, they are mostly from the average Egyptian cemeteries from 3 three periods of Egypt, and all of them show that they cluster with Arabians, Palestinians, Jordanians, Samaritans and today's Egyptians than to other peoples.

I just googled ancient Egyptians. Show me the depictions of them that shows them as black. Not depictions of slaves, but of the Eygptians.

I have been to Cairo museum and many many statues look black african.

I would have never guessed Levantine, but who knows maybe they depicted them more African than they actually were.

I have been to Cairo museum and many many statues look black african.

Statues are not accurate scientific proven fact as are remains, face reconstruction, and dna results which suggest they were nothing black alike.
