Greek Jewish Y-DNA

[Riverman]

The Mountain Jews frequency is not too far removed from that of the local Christian and Muslim populations, which have about 2-5 % of E-V13. However, the Georgian Jewish number is off, but at second glance, it is a very small sample size (n = 49) which could cause skewed results.
Mountain Jewish number is pretty solid though, that should hold, but might point simply to a very large local ancestral input. Would be great to get some subclades anyway.

Looking at Caucasians in general, here we get e.g. an Armenian with a fairly recent TMRCA with a Pontic Greek:

E-Y163740 YTree

Judeo-Tatar from Azerb and one Armenian:

On FTDNA again together with a Greek:

While Armenians and Azeri are relatively well-tested overall, Georgia has practically no E-V13 samples (on FTDNA just two).

Also, Christian Palestinians if i recall had ~5% E-V13, likely Byzantine legacy IMO primarely. Or, during the LBA collapse. It could be both but i lean moreso towards Byzantine period.

Prior to Justinian Plague E-V13 was likely in a very high positions in Byzantine Empire due to Thracian military domination. The very creator of Byzantine Empire and Constantinople, Constantine the Great was Thracian himself.

Interesting
I Don't have time machine
Go back and take a dna test from them
But i am pretty sure at least some of the eastern roman emperors were under
e-m78>v13

Some of the Palestine-Lebanese-Syrian E-V13 branches look very old, probably even "Sea Peoples old" to me. Some are clearly new, some even Medieval probably. But I'm pretty sure there was already a Bronze Age-Iron Age presence.

The Sea People were the Philistines that came from Bronze Age Greece/Western Anatolia. They didn't have any E-V13 among their samples so it is impossible to be mediated from them. E-V13 among Levantine Arabs is very likely from mixing with Byzantine Anatolians, who get their E-V13 from either Romanized Thracians or maybe even Phrygians who also assimilated into Roman culture. I think it is more recent, arriving in the Roman period, not Bronze or Iron Age.
