Egyptian mummies, over three to four millennia old, for a long time remained a mystery in terms of the genome. Decoding it was not just scientifically interesting, it would allow determine where the people who came from in ancient Egypt came from, shedding light on the history of the development of human society.
Group of German researchers of the scientific society of Max Planck and the University of Tübingen managed to decipher the genome of the ancients mummies of Egypt. The most surprising thing was that the indigenous people Africa have nothing to do with the pharaohs. Genome research showed that the ancestors of modern Egyptians came from Asia, these are residents territories where Abkhazia, Georgia are currently located, Lebanon, as well as the Turks of southern Europe.

By the way, Swiss scientists from Zurich have largely confirmed the conclusions of German researchers by analyzing the DNA of the mummy Tutankhamun. The fact is that the genome of this ruler of ancient Egypt showed that he was generally a native European, his DNA corresponds to modern Spaniards, French or English, but already not to Africans, whose genetic structure is completely different.
It turns out that Ancient Egypt was a country of migrants from Europe, and Africans have nothing to do with this highly developed society relations.
