Comparing 18th Egyptian Dynasty with Henwood DNA

I heard that King Tut was of the R1b1b2 haplogroup, and Henwood is almost a perfect Atlantic model of that haplogroup in a test of 12 alleles. I just saw an email with some information. King Tut was a member of the 18th Egyptian Dynasty of 1550-1292 BCE. That's a long time ago, over 3,000 years ago.



DYS 393 390 19 391 385a 385b 439 389-1 392 389-2


R1b1b2 13 23 14 11 11 14 12 13 13 29 our alleles



This looks like a difference of 4 already with only 10 alleles, but there sure are a lot of similarities considering this is comparing dna with someone very far back in time.

Others are questioning the validity of the results given to us. It was more likely that the Egyptian dynasty would have tested as R1a, J1 or J2 and not R1b1b2 which stems from Iberia. The others have been found in the delta region in Egypt.

R1b1b2 has been in Egypt as long or possibly longer than it has been in Iberia.

Hampshire Population

From Katherine Hope Borges I have learned by studying her new chart that Hampshire County, where our Henwoods seemed to be from, in the southeast, was populated by the ancient Britons with the tribes of Belgae in the South and Atrebates in the North. This goes back to 43 BCE.

Then the Romans were in Hampshire from 43 ACE to 410 ACE. They were replaced by the Saxons.

The Normans took over the area in 410 ACE to 878ACE. England was conquered by them in 1066. Ireland was conquered by 1169, and finally Wales was taken over by 1282. Wikipedia tells us that the Normans were the people who gave their name to Normandy, a region in northern France. They were descended from Viking conquerors of the territory and the native population of mostly Frankish and Gallo-Roman stock.
