What is ramses iii dna?

Ramesses III's DNA was analyzed in 2012, revealing a partial matching of his Y-chromosome to that of his son, indicating that Ramesses III's principal wife, Queen Tiye, was likely the mother of Ramesses IV. The analysis also revealed traces of haplogroups E1b1a and E1b1b in his DNA, which indicates that some of his ancestors were of African origin. This finding has been interpreted as evidence for significant historical migration patterns between Africa and ancient Egypt. Additionally, the analysis led to the confirmation of a conspiracy to assassinate Ramesses III, as his DNA contained evidence of a slit throat wound consistent with the historical account of his death.
