Pharaos were Europeans

[Carl Lundström]

In the year 2009 extended DNA-tests had been carried out with the mummy of Tutankamun and other members for his family. These have only partially been published in February 2010. Despite several demands, the results of the Y-DNA tests have been shut away.

Swiss iGenea corp. was able to reconstruct the Y-DNA profile of Tutankhamun, his father Akhenaten and his grandfather Amenhotep III with the help of a recording of the Discovery Channel. The astonishing result: Tutankhamun belongs to the haplogroup R1b1a2, which more than 50% of all men in Western Europe belong to.

Is this company correct in their reporting or is it a sales gimmick in order to get customers to test how much Pharaoh the have in them?
