As the Roman Empire is not Italy or France. The Roman Empire was centered in Rome. Axumite Empire was centered in the present town of Axum. Axum was Semetic. Roman Empire was Latin. Both were ancient empires. The story stops right there. Throughout history great empire appeared and disappeared. The British followed by the American and Russian domination and lately the Chinese re-emergence are the main powers who run this planet.

Dark E, you are a reformed ancestry shopper. I liked how you transformed.

As a well known mathematician, jimmy calculated how many grand fathers and mothers he has 5 generations down. Jimmy was shocked to learn he has 32 grand fathers and mothers 5 generations ago, 64 six generations ago and 128 seventh generations ago.

With that maths. Jimmy may have 180,000 grand fathers and mothers 2000 years ago. Checking their DNA is daunting so jimmy only wants to go 5 generations ago to determine current identity.

Isn't Jimmy a Mathematical genius?

Jimmy,

Mathematician ah…. it is good that you understand your generation is counted 2 to the power of number of generations with various coefficients according to the size of each family within every generation. You don’t even have to apply partial differential equations that deals with varying zillions of factors . Try complex equations starting with elementary mathematical conjugates such as
BTW, that is a famous physics partial differential equation that may prove to be helpful in your endeavors.

Dark E,

Seems like I unlocked your Mathematical genius too. But your Maths calculation can be simplified if you think out of the box. Jimmy is superior to you

Here is my analysis and proof of concept

If you count back 7 generations, the number of ancestors at that specific generation is 128.

The Formula
The number of ancestors in any given generation follows a geometric progression with a base of 2 (since every person has two biological parents). The formula is:

N = 2 the power of n.
Where:
* N is the number of ancestors.
* n is the number of generations back.
Step-by-Step Calculation
Based on the sequence:
* 1st Generation (Parents): 2^1 = 2
* 2nd Generation (Grandparents): 2^2 = 4
* 3rd Generation (Great-grandparents): 2^3 = 8
* 4th Generation (Great-great-grandparents): 2^4 = 16
* 5th Generation (3rd Great-grandparents): 2^5 = 32
* 6th Generation (4th Great-grandparents): 2^6 = 64
* 7th Generation (5th Great-grandparents): 2^7 = 128
So, 7 generations ago, you have 128 ancestors (specifically your 5th great-grandparents).

Misraq,

Keep doing the good work. While at it, enjoy this angelic voice from beyond.

Brother Dark E,

Thank you. You are an interesting fella from the times of Democrat all the way to the Benovelant Dictator and now lol. Your engagement with Oj, Belaynedh....etc The music is nice but she sound the little Helen Meles. With a good sound like that she need to be original. Jimmy always leaves constructive feedback
