EXTERNAL STONE AGE PEOPLE MADE EGYPT GROW

Ancient Egyptians, who lived 3,000-1,600 years ago, were closely related to Stone Age people from Anatolia and the Levant, according to the new DNA analyses. 7,000 years ago, the Stone Age people lived in what is now Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Israel, and they brought their sophisticated farming, as they migrated south, settling by the Nile. Scientists also observed a relation-ship between Egyptians and Stone Age people from Southern Europe.
