๐ช๐ฌ Genetic Landscape of Egypt
Egypt sits at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean, creating a unique genetic profile. Modern Egyptians carry Ancient Egyptian, Arab, Berber, Turkish, and Sub-Saharan African ancestry. The Nile Valley has been a genetic melting pot for 7,000+ years. Surprisingly, genetic studies show modern Egyptians share significant DNA with ancient mummies. Upper Egypt (south) shows more Sub-Saharan influence, while the Delta region and Alexandria show more Mediterranean traits.
