A study in Germany revealed that the mummies in Egypt had far more of the Turkish gene than the Egyptian genes. Scientists analyzing mummies in Egypt between 1400 and 400 BC revealed that the genes in the remains are closer to the genes of the Mediterranean people. The first real gene database was created in the research conducted at the University of Tubingen and the Max Planck Institute of Human Historical Science in Jena. As a result of the research in the Nature Communications magazine, modern Egyptians reached more sub-Saharan African populations than their ancestors. While ancient Egyptians were reported to be closer to the gene in the Near East, Johannes Krause, who led the investigation, stated that they carried out the research with 151 mummies. Krause said that when he did the research, Alexander and others wanted to find out if the Egyptians had influenced their genes. Scientists, who stated that ancient Egyptians had traces of Anatolia and Europe in their genes, noted that today's Syria, Product, Israel and Lebanon are also in the gene pool. It was noted that until this time the research was the first and most comprehensive study of the Egyptian mummies' gene maps, while the scientists said that today's Egyptians are heavily oppressed in their genes.
