With modern methods of DNA testing some very interesting theories and facts are now known.
With genome analysis of Ancient Egyptian Mummies is was found that they were closely reltatd to the ancient people from the Levant, and that modern Egyptians are genetically closer to the people of Sub Sahara@!
Mitochondrial DNA gnome from 90 mummies were compared, with the genetics of modern Egyptians....the mummies were from a 1300 year period, and it was found that there was no real shift in the genetics over this period.
Modern genetics show that Egyptians now share genetic ancestry with Sub Saharan Africa, than what the ancient Egyptians who show a closer genetic affinity with the Near East, and Levant.
It is believed that 1500 years ago n influx of people from Sub Sahara into Egypt took place, due to the increase mobility along the Nile.
However as all of the Western world with origins in Europe, it has now become an interesting subject with a Swiss Genetic Company claiming that 70 % of all British men, are genetically related to the Egyptian Pharoah Tutenkhamun of KIng Tut'.
Above is a picture of his sarcophagus, and below the reconstructed head. The comparison the early European people can be made.
.
Testing has shown that Tutankhamen belongs to the Rib1a2 , and hit was found that 50% of all men in Western Europe belong to the same Haplagroup.!
This indicates a common ancestor!
Ongoing research and invitations to have men testes is done to find more of Tutankhamen 's descendants, in Europe.
Who knows how many will be found, maybe in your own family?
