The Sutton Hoo Helmet is an icon of Anglo-Saxon England.
It was buried in the 7th century in a ship under a mound of earth above the River Deben in East Anglia, and when it was discovered in 1939 for the first time it provided evidence that the poetry of Beowulf and the Anglo-Saxons was more than flights of fancy, but represented very real power, wealth and artistry in the early medieval period.

We assert that Phoenicians might have interacted with Sardinians based on mitogenome data
Haplogroup N1b1a5
The presence of one sample from Monte Sirai, MS10578, a 6 to 12-year-old child that has an N1b1a5 haplotype is of particular interest. Haplogroup N lineages are rare in modern Sardinians. Recently, however, four individuals were identified carrying haplogroup N1b1a9, which appears to be a Sardinian specific haplogroup [15]. The coalescence ages of this haplogroup are estimated to be 7.3–9.4 Ky, so this may have been a pre-Neolithic introduction to the island. N1b1a5, however, is more recent (Olivieri et al. [15] Fig 3), dating to 2.5 Ky, which aligns nicely with a Phoenician/Punic introduction

Ancient mitogenomes of Phoenicians from Sardinia and Lebanon: A story of settlement, integration, and female mobility
The Phoenicians emerged in the Northern Levant around 1800 BCE and by the 9[th] century BCE had spread their culture across the Mediterranean Basin, establishing trading posts, and settlements in various European Mediterranean and North African locations.…

🧬PCA and Admixture Analysis with G25 Coordinates and qpAdm of 🇬🇷Greek people in comparison to their Ancestral Groups
🧬High Slavic Admixture is found especially in the North, most likely to Slavic assimiliated people🇧🇬🇲🇰🇷🇸
🧬Very High 🇦🇱Illyrian Admixture is found in all the Greeks beside the Aegean Islands' most likely due to the such things as these:
🇦🇱https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arvanites

🧬And other things for the Slavic admixture such as

And many more interactions during the Medieval period as the 🇷🇸Serbian or 🇧🇬Bulgarian Empires

We also do not see a gene flow from Iran despite the Persian cultural expansion which led to a language shift from an east-Iranian language to a west-Iranian in Tajiks—when Yaghnobis kept their east-Iranian language
Because the date of the gene-flow from South Asian populations in Tajik genomes is relatively recent, the data favours the first hypothesis; however, uncertainties on the model of admixture (one versus several pulses) may be compatible with continuous gene-flow since the Bronze Age. Additionally, our recent date of admixture fits with the arrival of the South Asian ancestry at the same that the shift from east to west-Iranian language in Tajiks linked to the Persian expansion 1500 years ago
