> Genetics isn't everything, but it's an indicator that the populations have remained extremely stable (no large scale migrations) while the culture shifted under them.

This is why your comment is weird. You seem to be leaning on genetics a lot, when in aggregate, genetics are less than a rounding error for human behavior. Take a random human with random genes and drop them at childhood into another culture, and outside of that culture's reactions to them perhaps looking a bit different than the other kids, that person will grow up identifying with that culture.


So any society going well might go bad 4, 000 years and several conquests later? What is your point lol

Unlike other conquests, they have remained the same people. It wasn't linked to large scale migration or displacement.

So?

Four thousand years and a bunch of history happened, why should anyone be surprised that things are different?

Sorry to be rude, but what exactly are you smoking?
