VIDEO: Tracing lost civilizations through DNA testing
The following report from CNN focuses primarily on ancient Phoenician DNA which seems to have been spread throughout their ancient Mediterranean colonies (which is what ancient history also suggests). This is a very intriguing report in my view partially because of the 10-Israel mixing with Tyre and Sidon in antiquity. The future findings by the Genographic Project may be very helpful in also tracking some of the original 10-Israel population.
