Shafaqna English– A recent scientific study has made a groundbreaking discovery that redefines the connections between the world’s earliest civilizations. The study reveals that an ancient Egyptian man, who lived during the era of the great pyramids, had significant genetic ancestry linked to Mesopotamia, the region known as ancient Iraq.
The study, led by a team from Liverpool John Moores University, marks the first time the complete genome of an individual from ancient Egypt has been successfully sequenced.
The findings, reported by the Daily Mail Online, offer direct biological proof of the deep, historical ties between the civilizations of the Nile Valley and the Fertile Crescent.
