A new study has just revealed the first nearly complete genome from a man who lived during Egypt’s Old Kingdom when the Pyramids were being built.

In this video, we break down what the new genome tells us, what’s still missing, and why it matters.

This is such a cool breakthrough getting nearly full Old Kingdom DNA. It really shows how much more there is to learn, especially beyond the north.

Fascinating breakdown! That Old Kingdom genome is huge, and the Upper Egypt gap really got me thinking.
