Care to explain the origin of "Hyksos", but has no connection with the Armenians of the region whose self-name is "Hay" or many have the surname "hayk"? Their ancestors are from Central Asia but I'm sure Middle Eastern ancestry is common in Armenians. Just a theory based on the "Hay" (people) name hypothesis.+

Ancient Egyptian Hekw Shasu makes more sense.

There was no Armenia, Turkey or Iraq at that time. Armenians the modern Armenians of today associate themselves with the Indo-European speakers, genetically they are almost identical to their neighbors so I can't see Armenian traces linguistic or genetic...

Then a 2nd theory of the origin of Greeks, Romans, Albanians & southern Slavs of the Balkans was a group of Egyptians or Pelasgians from Asia minor not far from Syria, Palestine or Cyprus arrived in the Greek peninsula. They spoke either an Indo-European tongue, or are of West Semitic origins if you consider how much the Semites lived in western Arabia to the tip of Asia minor, & the "Sardonic" type in ethnography named for Sardinians off the Italic peninsula is thought to be Amorite or Roman.+

@devulboy1 the people of SE Europe had multi-origins but not Semitic, the E1b1b1a2-V13 people that are still big % in Alabnai & Greece spoke a language similar to modern Somali or Berber more than Semitic.

The J2a people spoke a language similar to Sumerian, J2b people played an important role in spreading Indo-European

Semitic speakers markers are J1e-P58 wherever you see J1e-P58 those are usually related to Semites.

Yes but only the E1b1b1a2-V13 Balkanids share a close common ancestor with the majority of modern Somalis today & Cushites in general

Ashkenazim do have Semitic looking faces. the only thing is their coloring is off sometimes. like they have the long Semitic face and nose but they are pale and blue eyed., i guess that what happen when you are isolated in Europe for close to 1500 yrs.

Phenotypes dont represent races, the Askhenazis mixied amongst themselves (Semitids & Non-Semitid Converts both Near Eastern & others) creating their own genepool, this will change as phenotypic mixing picks up pace as it already does in Israel-NYC
