   From the research in the original link:   
      
   "Populations in the Southern Levant during the Bronze Age were not static,"   
   says Liran Carmel of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. "Rather,   
   we observe evidence for the movement of people over long periods of time   
   from the northeast of the Ancient Near East, including modern   
   Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, into the Southern Levant region.   
      
   Sorry bub, nary an egyptian in sight, the hypotheses of a significant   
   egyptian genetic infusion is not supported..   
      
   On the contrary, the ancient egyptian genetic info of the same period shows   
   they too came from neolithic europe/turkey and the levant themselves.   
      
   It is science son, science I say.  We gotta go where the data leads.   
      
   No room for unsupported wished for notions in the genetic data .
