Not quite in the tma area but p136 might also be of interest . " methodological problems and contamination obstacles have hitherto hampered direct investigations of ancient Egypt's population history using ancient human DNA. Here we present mtDNA and nuclear DNA from mummified humans from Middle Egypt recovered with High-throughput sequencing methods that span around 1,300 years of ancient Egyptian history from the Third Intermediate to the Roman Period. Our genetic transects reveal that ancient Egyptians shared more ancestry with Near
Eastern populations than present day Egyptians, who admixed with Sub -Saharan populations in more recent times. "
