Egyptian Historian Ahmad Sarhan: The Egyptians, Not Columbus, Discovered America – Archival | MEMRI TV

In an Egyptian TV interview, historian and film director Dr. Ahmad Sarhan claimed that “the genes of the native Americans are a 95% match with the people of the south of Upper Egypt,” who had inhabited the continent before the expeditions by the “Irish” Christopher Columbus. The indigenous people had been exterminated “in order for this history to be wiped out,” according to Dr. Sarhan. The interview aired on Assema TV on June 10, 2015.
