YugoRocketsFan Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 LONDON Aug 1 (Reuters Life!) - Up to 70 percent of British men and half of all Western European men are related to the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun, geneticists in Switzerland said. Scientists at Zurich-based DNA genealogy centre, iGENEA, reconstructed the DNA profile of the boy Pharaoh, who ascended the throne at the age of nine, his father Akhenaten and grandfather Amenhotep III, based on a film that was made for the Discovery Channel. The results showed that King Tut belonged to a genetic profile group, known as haplogroup R1b1a2, to which more than 50 percent of all men in Western Europe belong, indicating that they share a common ancestor. Among modern-day Egyptians this haplogroup contingent is below 1 percent, according to iGENEA. "It was very interesting to discover that he belonged to a genetic group in Europe -- there were many possible groups in Egypt that the DNA could have belonged to," said Roman Scholz, director of the iGENEA Centre. Around 70 percent of Spanish and 60 percent of French men also belong to the genetic group of the Pharaoh who ruled Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. http://af.reuters.com/article/egyptNews/idAFL3E7J135P20110801 Weird...

EastCoastNiner Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 That's the title of the article I knew lkr would be in here. He masturbates about Europe every night, even though he has no clue what he is talking about. He's all for the stupid mass murdering Norwegian living in a luxurious prison. He's clueless.
