   The same place that does not support indian presence, even though during   
   the time period there was much bidirectional travel between the middle east   
   and s. asia for trade..   
      
   The 73 genomes indicate the areas of their origin and the direction from   
   which they came.  The population was identified as a mix of local neolithic   
   people and populations arriving from the northeas.   
      
   Even if egyptians contributed even a tiny amount that did not show up, the   
   hypotheses as stated is not supported.   
      
   It does support the women going to egypt to cemet social ties as a much   
   more plausable hypotheses. That is also supported by historical accounts of   
   such practices in the area .   
      
   A quick look at similar research for ancient egypt shows the genetic   
   origins from neolithic eurrope/turkey and the levant as sources and   
   direction of population movements.
