Could Pharaoh Tutankhamen have been a Western European?
Ancient Egypt had strong links with Italy and Greece, and there was a lot of trade between Egypt and parts of Europe (they even had the same religion as Athens and Rome, though they gave their Gods different names). There was, inevitably, a mixing of peoples, with some North Africans travelling to Europe, and Europeans settling in Egypt. It is, therefore, entirely possible, indeed probable, that Europeans married into the Egyptian ruling classes. Ergo they could potentially have married into the ruling family, and Tutankhamun could easily be part European. I doubt he had 99% European DNA, however.
Although the world was a much bigger place then, it was possible to cross into countries like Greece, the slave trade was alive and kicking and who knows who covered who,maybe the boy king genes were from European or Mediterranean stock, I mean have a look at the hieroglyphics’s, ugly females, with bad breath and teeth, half of em were gay, and incest was the order of the day no wonder them camels got the hump.
