Cypriot MyHeritage Results-Shocking!

[@nikgeorgio]

Almost all cypriots(both greek or turkish) have significant percentage of sephardic and mizrahi jewish

[@Ayazidas]

I think that it's rather a Levantine ancestry which is shared by the Cypriots and some Jewish groups and which the MyHeritage algorithm labels as Jewish.

[@nikgeorgio]

@@JockMatrix i got some askenazi jewish and have no idea where it comes from...i m speculating it is from my maternal grandfather's ancestors who were in NE Romania back in early 19th century..gedmatch also highlights ashkenazi relatively high...i'm waiting for my mother's results to solve the mystery

[@williamliamsmith4923]

Both Cypriots and Jewish people probably inherited Canaanite DNA so they share a lot of ancestry.

[@ultimatedark5969]

There was also ashkenazi

[@yahavhasson8040]

The Jewish dna probably comes from Phonecian ancestors who settled in Cyprus in ancient times. The phonecians were a Cnaanite group from what is now Lebanon and are genetically similar to Judeans (ancestors of the Jews).

[@A.Musa76]

That makes perfect sense. All Cypriot have Greece/Italy, North Africa and Middle Eastern and some have Iranian due to Ottoman-Persian Wars.

[@akritasdigenis4831]

Not all, stop putting us all in the same group. The guy who did this video is probably very brown. Both my parents are Cypriot and I have 72% Greek and South Italian, 5% Iberian, 11% Balkan, 8% English and only 4% Middle Eastern.

[@akritasdigenis4831]

@@mertozyurekliler945 true, but the above comment said all Cypriots so I had to correct him. But indeed we are similar my friend! I think us Cypriots are diverse!

[@A.Musa76]

@@akritasdigenis4831 Correct me with what? Who said we are putting in the same group???? Greece/Italy is the main DNA. Look at other Cypriot results (I'm a Cypriot) with small percentage of North Africa and I also have ME along with Caucasus. If you know your history. You know why we have mixed DNA. I guess you don't know your History with all the kingdoms, Phoenicians, Persian, Ottoman, Roman, Etc.

Mostly Greek but also a lot of Anatolian/west Asian.North African, Iraqi, Italian Arab. Zero Turkic (central Asian). Cool

I'm not a Cypriot, but these results are NOT surprising to me! It appears that All of these Mediterranean peoples descended upon that island and eventually started mixing together. I think ALL Mediterranean peoples--from Spain to Turkey are the SAME IDENTICAL RACES mixed together in varying degrees.

[@ASamuel89]

cool results bro. you might want to try G25 which I think have the most specified and accurate results at the moment

[@cygnus2807]

Bro can you post your Gedmatch Dodecad K12b results? It is more accurate and you can find out where this high jewish percentage coming from.

[@oguz2534]

Gedmatch Sonuçları varmı?

[@mertozyurekliler945]

No, I heard about Gedmatch from you just now! I will be uploading my DNA to their database today to get those results as well 🙏🏽

[@Ersen_abiniz]

@@mertozyurekliler945 Getmatch is very useful. l made some videos about how to upload gethmatch. How to use different scala in Getmatch. Use free tolls. You can also upload your raw data DNAGENİCS. l made a video about it. By the way you have nothing about Turkic genome

[@erhanaksu5160]

Greece, Turkey and Italy makes sense, but why so much Jewish? Do you know anyone in your family heritage that could have been Jewish?

[@mertozyurekliler945]

I have no clue! That part was really surprising for me. I grew up as a ‘Turkish’ Cypriot (although I prefer just Cypriot, especially after this dna test) I was expecting to have some Greek but all the Jewish, I don’t know where that comes from. As far as I am aware my Mother’s side is from Paphos and my Dad’s side is from Inonu(Sinta), a small village in the North that were always inhabited by the Turkish speaking Cypriots. Finding about these results opened my eyes a little, I don’t want to be associated with being either Greek, Turkish or any other ‘mainland’ anymore. I feel like I am just an accumulation of different ethnicities that has stepped foot in Cyprus. I will definitely do some research about Sephardic/Mizrahi Jewish communities after this test 😊

[@A.Musa76]

Some history: Ptolemy II Philadelphus was the pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt from 284 to 246BC. His wife or sister (can't remember) Arsinoe Philadelphus came and settle in Cyprus. Fast forward during the Roman era. The Jews had close relationships with many of the other religious group in Cyprus from Ptolemais between Alexander Jannaeus and King Lathyros. The Cypriot Jew that was native in Cyprus his name was Barnabas that converted to Christianity and he was preaching at the Jewish synagogues with Paul (Apostle) and Mark (cousin of Barnabas). This explain the Jewishness in you. Us Turk Cypriot are convert.

[@A.Musa76]

@@mertozyurekliler945 To make you feel better I'm part Turk Cypriot as well.

[@Catitalaratoncita]

@@mertozyurekliler945 it doesn’t necessarily mean anything. The thing is that Myheritage is a Israeli company and was in the beginning targeted for the Jewish to discover their roots (many lost their jewish connections and knowledge after the Holocaust). Someone who is Ethiopian and takes the test will get Ethiopian Jewish for example. it’s the only reference population the company has got for Ethiopians. Though still Jewish DNA is easily detectable! Good luck exploring anyway!

[@ultimatedark5969]

​@mertozyurekliler945 you also got ashkenazi don't forget 😉

[@NS-mz8gq]

Why all Albanians have the most % of Greek and south Italian dna?

[@mithridatesi9981]

Genetically the same with Greek

[@Alghi451]

Nice results, you're not turkic just "islamized" native Cypriots

[@akritasdigenis4831]

They're Turks, and they should go back to Turkey soon.

[@UnKnownUser123-i2o]

Nice results! Are you a Turk Cypriot? Did you know about your Jewish roots? I’m Greek, and have my results on my channel as well if you want to see them. Thanks in advance!

[@mertozyurekliler945]

I’m just Cypriot, although I speak Turkish 😊

@@mertozyurekliler945 right theyr just cypriot couldnt even care to use "turk" front of their names cuz SOME are parasites benefit from turkey's help while we are suffering from the inflation refugees and visiting working living in the eu with their CYPRIOT passports

[@Ayazidas]

I don't think that this is an actual Jewish ancestry. It's rather a Levantine-like kind of ancestry which is shared by the Cypriots and some Jewish groups and which the MyHeritage algorithm labels as Jewish.

is there such thing as a Jewish ethnicity?? A Muslim ethnicity? Christian ethnicity? didnt most of Jews convert to Islam/Christianity like 1000 years ago? I can understand North African ethnicity, Arab ethnicity but whats this Jewish ethnicity thing, always confuses me.

[@-andreiDNA]

Jewish is an ethnic group. It's that simple. Most Jews are atheists by religion anyway

[@-andreiDNA]

On the contrary, north African is not an ethnicity. It's a location.

[@thegreatest3651]

@@-andreiDNA but its controversial how they define this ethnic group because in realist most christians/muslims would have had to have converted from judaism at some point.
