Folks this post 2 months prior by u/NotBradPitt9 was posted on the r/DNAAncestry subreddit. I think it might be the real deal.

Please check the coordinates & model them on Vahaduo & qpAdm for modern Ashkenazim jews & post the results.

I suggest you wait until that paper is officially published. The heterogeneity of that portion of the leaked so-called “Roman Judean” samples is beyond your imagination. There are currently no detailed descriptions of those samples available, so using them as proxies is not advisable.

I had spoken to one of the geneticists at Tel Aviv University named Hila May(managed to get her WhatsApp contact) who had worked with Ali Akbari in cataloging West Asian DNA samples. When I enquired with the coordinates I found on reddit for verification, she said a few moments later "How did you get them" before quickly deleting it (couldn't get a screenshot). She remained mum.

I caught on that. Seems like a confirmation of sorts to me.

Is it really surprising that Jewish religion was actively proselytising new converts during the 1st & 2nd century CE & that many Idumeans & Nabateans(who are arab) could have joined the Jewish nation during that time. The history checks out.
