I got a new ancient match. Funny that he is described as a Livonian Crusader. If so, he defected to the crusaders' side.

From the study:

DNA-analyzed individual:

IIg: Male (burial 151; AI 5366), 25–35 years old, WSW-oriented, richly furnished – horse harness, 4 silver coins (1140/60–1210/20), knife, belt accessories. Sampled tooth l M3, date 1210–1230/1240 AD.

Kukruse
Location: Kukruse, Ida-Virumaa, Estonia

Excavations: 2009–2010 [139]

Cemetery: Cemetery on flat land, ca 300 m SE of Kukruse manor center. Rescue excavations (ca 600 m2) revealed 44 inhumations mainly from the late 12th and 13th century and traces of earlier cremations. Burials of both sexes were of diverse orientation W, NW, SW, SSW, S, SE, E, N. Until Christianization (in 1220), and maybe also somewhat later, burials were rich in grave goods. A group of W-oriented graves (inc. grave 9) was most richly furnished with jewelry (brooches, bracelets, neck rings, breast chains with pins, rings, necklaces with silver sheet pendants), tools (axes, senses, knives), weapons (spears, a sword), and metal accessories of the costume. Special publications relate to burial rites [140, 141] and artifacts [142].

It is more likely that he was a Finnish mercenary and on the opposite side of the war, rather than a German crusader. Although some southern locals, basically eastern Balts, supported crusaders, the location of the burial refers to Baltic Finns.

I am not surprised that they classified him (sample IIg) as a Livonian Crusader, because people often believe that Baltic Finns fight against then by stone hammers and wooden pikes. This conception is based on pure fiction and ignorance. In Estonia and Livonia people pushed German crusaders back several times and once the foreign army consisting of German mercenaries had to replace by a stronger one. Only a few knows that in that area were also continuous war between locals and eastern Balts, despite being heathens, supported Germans to destroy Livonians and Curonians. In Finland the situation was very different, because we knew Swedes and had lived together hundreds years before crusaders. We had also a strong common enemy, Russians, which led to cooperation in the Western Finland.

They don't have ancient Assyrian and I'm not sure about Safavid being accurate, but Amorite seems good:
