Egypt holds grand procession of ancient mummies in...
Using the word "heritage" seems odd here. Would anyone who moved to into this land qualify as inheritors?

I imagine there's like a 99% chance the poster is related to every mummy shown, both because it's been millennia and Egyptian nobility surely married throughout what became Persia.

Egyptian nobility was largely inbred (and modern Egypt population is Arab, not Persian anyway).

Egyptian nobility went on for millennia, "largely inbred" would still involve thousands of outside marriages.
I was referring to the Persian Empires, which included large parts of the Arabian Peninsula.

I'm a Pakeha Kiwi and proud of the Māori heritage of our country, even though it's not my direct heritage.
