Cool post, but I have to say... Atlantis is located somewhere every other month on ATS. I wish it would stay in one place so we can send down some divers to check it out.

You have it backwards. Genetic testing proves that the Irish have the markers of Egyptian DNA, not the other way around. The Egytians came from Sumeria.
What were you on when you came up with these ideas? Were you on the alchemy threads?
Oh I see, so the Celts got their red hair and white skin from the Egyptians, that clears up everything...thanks!
Cough, Cough...just one thing, why did it show the highest DNA match in Europe then, should it not have shown the highest among the Egyptians, or Africans?edit on 9-4-2011 by LUXUS because: (no reason given)edit on 9-4-2011 by LUXUS because: (no reason given)

Its quite funny seeing how this thread has progressed. There's a tug of war developed on who's most closely related to the Atlantians. (For the Americans, a 'tug of war' refers to a battle wherein two teams battle to pull each other over using a rope, youtube will tell all. The term is also commonly used as a synonym for a battle of supremacy between two, although this case includes more, factions).
Great post OP and some good replies!
Great entertainment from the rest of youedit on 8-4-2011 by Iam'___' because: missed a comma
Notable mummies are the tall, red-haired "Chärchän man" or the "Ur-David" (1000 BCE); his son (1000 BCE), a small 1-year-old baby with brown hair protruding from under a red and blue felt cap, with two stones positioned over its eyes; the "Hami Mummy" (c. 1400–800 BCE), a "red-headed beauty" found in Qizilchoqa; and the "Witches of Subeshi" (4th or 3rd century BCE), who wore 2-foot-long (0.61 m) black felt conical hats with a flat brim.[6] Also found at Subeshi was a man with traces of a surgical operation on his neck; the incision is sewn up with sutures made of horsehair.[7] Many of the mummies have been found in very good condition, owing to the dryness of the desert and the desiccation it produced in the corpses. The mummies share many typical Caucasoid body features (elongated bodies, angular faces, recessed eyes), and many of them have their hair physically intact, ranging in color from blond to red to deep brown, and generally long, curly and braided. It is not known whether their hair has been bleached by internment in salt. Their costumes, and especially textiles, may indicate a common origin with Indo-European neolithic clothing techniques or a common low-level textile technology. Chärchän man wore a red twill tunic and tartan leggings. Textile expert Elizabeth Wayland Barber, who examined the tartan-style cloth, discusses similarities between it and fragments recovered from salt mines associated with the Hallstatt culture.[8]
Mair claims that "the earliest mummies in the Tarim Basin were exclusively Caucasoid, or Europoid" with east Asian migrants arriving in the eastern portions of the Tarim Basin around 3,000 years ago while the Uyghur peoples arrived around the year 842.[2] In trying to trace the origins of these populations, Victor Mair's team suggested that they may have arrived in the region by way of the Pamir Mountains about 5,000 years ago.
About the controversy Mair has claimed that: The new finds are also forcing a reexamination of old Chinese books that describe historical or legendary figures of great height, with deep-set blue or green eyes, long noses, full beards, and red or blond hair. Scholars have traditionally scoffed at these accounts, but it now seems that they may be accurate.[15]

You know what I see? It looks to me if you slid the area you are calling "Tir na Og" to the right a little, it sure does see to "fit" like a puzzle piece. It looks like it has gone left and submerged. If that article I linked to earlier is correct and the ocean floor in that area is prone to being pushed up and sinking again, that could explain how it got where it was without plate movement being the direct cause.
