Hello all!
I am Aisha from austria, born and raised in austria.
My mum is descent white austrian, my father is a dark skinned egyptian
(from alexandria).
My fathers father was from sudan, my grandmother was egyptian/saudi arabian mix.
I´ve been 4 times to egypt - it feels like a 2nd home.
Though i was curious since DNA tests got promoted everywhere, what my results would be.
So i did a test, and i did not expect that the highest amount of ethnicity (which is only 13,8%)
is MAASAI. Followed by 12% English (i really don´t know why) and 10% Somali, and then eastern europe (which might be the austrian side).
We have some somali relatives, which we never met.
But the maasai was totally unknown to the family.
After doing some research, i found out that the maasai tribe came from the south of sudan.
So it makes sense that i have that DNA.
But i ask myself how egyptian my father really was.
As scientific discussions are very controverse about the "real" egyptians.
My father always told me that nubians are the real egyptians.
I am not sure how to explain to europeans my heritage.
Another person told me that the maasai are the descent egyptians.
Am confused...
Here is my DNA test result:

Attached a picture of my dad. when he was younger, and a new one.
Thanks for serious and respectful answers.
Bless you
