Poland’s Royal DNA Has a Wild Twist

Turns out Poland’s first kings weren’t who everyone thought! DNA from 900-year-old skeletons shows the Piast dynasty’s male line probably came from the North Atlantic—think Scotland, not just local Slavs. But the people they ruled? Totally local for thousands of years. Plus, pollen and silver clues reveal their rise and fall was all about booming trade and farming, not just royal blood. History just got way juicier! #HistoryNerd #DNAReveals #RoyalMystery
