𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:
🧬 DNA:
Researchers analyzed remains of the Piast dynasty, Poland’s founding royal family (10th-14th C).
🏴 Scottish?
The male lineage’s Y-chromosome showed a close genetic match to ancient Picts from Scotland, not typical Slavic profiles.
❓Challenged Origins:
This suggests the Piasts might have been northern migrants who integrated into Slavic lands, rather than purely local Slavic chieftains as long believed.
📖 Historical Context:
The findings highlight that medieval Europe was a mix of migrations, with even royal lines having complex, foreign roots.
✒️ Rewrites History:
The discovery alters the narrative of Poland’s founding, showing its rulers had foreign ancestry.
