Research conducted by the Swiss geneticists showed 70 percent of Britons and 50 percent of western Europe inherited the genes of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The findings obtained after the origin of DNA genealogy center of Zurich, iGENEA, reconstruct the DNA profile of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, who inherited power from his father, Akhenaten, and his grandfather, Amenhotep III. Researchers' attention then focused on a group called haplogroup R1b1a2 gene profile that is also owned 50 percent of the people of western Europe. Thus, the European human share a common ancestor with the Pharaoh.
"The findings are interesting because DNA Tutankhamun himself a group of people to settle in Europe," said Director Roman iGENEA Scholz. For some countries in western Europe, the portion of the Pharaoh DNA legacy is considerable. The Spaniard has 70 percent of the DNA of Pharaoh, while the French have a 60 per cent.
"Pharaoh and the Europeans came from ancestors who inhabit the Caucasus about 9500 years ago," said Scholz.
R1b1a2 own haplogroup spread from the Caucasus to the west in the year 7000 BCE. Dissemination of agricultural technology also brought to Europe.
Tutankhamun was the Pharaoh who died young. He lived between 1334-1323 BC. Tutankhamun's tomb itself only discovered in March 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter with a mask of pure gold weighing nearly 11 pounds of layered various gems.
