This is the oldest known autosomal DNA of ancient Egyptians we have so far, and if he was indeed representative to all Middle Kingdom Egyptians then..well, it shows that they were never SSA's to begin with. He clusters the closest to today's Copts and the Abusir mummies of ancient Egyptians from the Iron age period.

His G25 K13 coordinates:
Nakht-Ankh,0,0,11.56,0,48.46,22.65,0,0,3.45,0,0.35,13.52 ,0

It's pretty much common knowledge by now that the AE's are descendants from old stock Levantines like Arabians hence why he has high Levantine PPNB ancestry similar to the Yemenite Jews.

Take a look of some of the screenshots I posted on Nakht-Ankh’s autosomal data

This was a Middle Kingdom Egyptian, predating the Hyksos? How are the afronuts reacting to this? Do we know what region he was from?

Yes, this is predating the Hyksos and from 12th dynasty. Those “afronuts” I haven’t seen them respond to this just yet but they will likely try to discredit it somehow like they did the Abusir mummies. Nakht-Ankh was from upper Egypt from Deir Rifeh/Asyut area. Here’s a map:

Levantines have about 10%-11% SSA on average. Nakht-Ankh has less SSA than modern muslim Egyptians (14%-21% total) and is more on par with Egyptian Copts (Christian Egyptians). Copts are the closest world population genetically to Nakht-Ankh and it makes sense as Copts are the only people in the world to retain a version of the ancient Egyptian language, albeit in an evolved form.

Levantines have about 10%-11% SSA on average.

It's more like 7%-9%

It's more like 7%-9%

Well actually according to the Gedrosia K3 spreadsheet, Jordanians have 10.66%, Palestinians have 10.86%, Syrians have 9.30% and Lebanese have 8.08%. So we were both right.
