Exactly, like the today's Egyptians, Palestinians, Jordanians and Arabians.

Some Egyptians also look Levantine, don't think all of them have high SSA admix.

Yeah, especially the ones from lower Egypt. The distinction comes from their SSA admixture, nothing else.

So it looks like a light skinned east african then?

[Taiguaitiaoghyrmmumin]

How many mummies were tested? Theres only 3 up there. Are they the royal family? Which royal family?

Not really, the bust is made of wood which darkens overtime. I suggest to look at busts that are made out of ceramic and paint.

These ancient samples are all from Middle Egypt.

Maybe if we get ancient samples from Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, there will be some regional differences between them (for example more of SSA admixture in Upper Egypt).

[Kamal900]

How many mummies were tested? Theres only 3 up there. Are they the royal family? Which royal family?

No, they're from ancient cemeteries of the normal Egyptian folk, not from the valley of the kings. The three samples are from three different time periods, and they all show similar genetic results to today's Egyptians and their neighbors in the southern Levant and Arabia.

Lol, look at this; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayum_mummy_portraits

She looks like a east ssa to me really. But could end up being like a andaman who isnt genetically andaman but looks ssa.
