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.K13 of Nekht ankh shows him closest to Coptic egyptians and Abusir el malaq mummies , despite this sample been bad quality his ancestry is overall similar to other egyptian samples..
his ssa level is in range of modern coptic egyptian variation, probably due to its bad quality , if it was higher quality this ssa might have been equivalent with abusir samples.
Nekhit ankh is still less SSA than modern egyptians.
obviously Nekht ankh highest ancestry is Levant PPNB and Natufian with Levant Sidon ancestry still approximate to the ones found in Abusir mummies if this sample to be believed as representative of middle kingdom Upper-egyptians , then this means IranN-related ancestry might have been much older in egypt than thought by some here.
Distance:
G25 using ancient and modern as references:
Obviously Nekht ankh and abusir samples and copts get highest Yemenite Jewish , due to there common ancient SouthWest asian ancestry without the later Caucasian waves that shaped the recent Levant.
Thanks for everyone contributed to get Nekht ankh's result.

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.
