Ancient Egyptian DNA | Egyptologist Dr. Juan Carlos Moreno García

In this mini recap episode I host Egyptologist Dr. Juan Carlos Moreno García on a very fascinating and sometimes controversial topic and that is ancient Egyptian identity, ethnicity and ancient DNA. We talk about when foreigners become Egyptians, what ancient DNA tells us and more importantly how we should view and treat studies related to ancient DNA with caution in order to not misrepresent or misconstrue findings to encompass entire periods of history and populations. We also explore a controversial topic and that is are the modern Egyptians direct representations of ancient Egyptians, or has that continuity been interrupted and changed by waves of migrations, inversions and conquests? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antiquity-middlages/support

Hello fellow amateur historians and ancient/medieval scholars!!! My name is Nick Barksdale and like you, I have a passion for ancient and medieval history and so, I created this Podcast / YouTube Channel "The Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages." The focus of this podcast is history plain and simple and all of the facts and theories that come with it. From academic lectures and to interviews, I want to talk about what we love and hopefully even touch on subjects you haven't even thought about.
