If you look at the neighbors of Egypt, the Maghreb and the levant, it’s pretty well sampled from the epipaleolithic to the modern period, yet nothing comparative from Egypt. And yeah I get the crappy conditions for genetic preservation or high levels of contamination, but come on. We have a dissertation study from the old kingdom period from a PhD student (can’t read it until 2025), yet established researchers can’t even recover and analyze bronze aged samples?
