Ancient Assyrian sample from the Akbari dataset

**Peterski** · 05-23-2026, 10:45 PM

In the Akbari dataset there is a sample which was most likely an ancient Assyrian.
The sample is dated to 612 BC and is from Nineveh.
Here are this sample's distances to modern regional populations from my dataset:

Are G25 coordinates for this sample already available?

I think there has been at least six recent dna data for skeletons found at Nineveh's South East Mushki gate dating back to 612 B.C which is the date the capital city was destroyed.
