MyTrueAncestry MyTrueAncestry - closest modern countries to ancient ethnicities

These are my new results after not updating for awhile until now:

The Carthaginian seems more accurate to model my admixture than Guanche because it contains more Levantine DNA but I noticed that MyTrueAncestry likes to give me a lot of Anatolian populations as my genetic matches, which I interpret to be false positive for Southern-Euro-rich Levantine genetic profile because Anatolian groups like these Carians sit between Europeans and Arabs on a PCA. But overall I think it is slightly more accurate than the last update I did.

Byzantine + Carthaginian (7.864)
Hellenic Roman + Carthaginian (8.328)
Lydian + Carthaginian (8.423)
Carian + Carthaginian (8.948)
Carian (10.54)

I still wonder if these distances are based on G25 tools because regular G25 gives me smaller distance to some of these samples that I recognize.

I still wonder if these distances are based on G25 tools because regular G25 gives me smaller distance to some of these samples that I recognize.
The MTA algorithm calculates distances following the logic of the Eurogenes K15 v2 calculator.
For example;
My modern GEDMACH Eurogenes K15 v2 populations and distances:
1 Portuguese @ 6.297175
2 Spanish_Extremadura @ 7.052927
3 Spanish_Galicia @ 7.265041
4 Spanish_Cantabria @ 7.580055
5 Spanish_Castilla_Y_Leon @ 7.593504
6 Spanish_Murcia @ 7.845036
7 Spanish_Cataluna @ 7.957556
8 Spanish_Castilla_La_Mancha @ 9.071047

My modern MTA populations and distances:
1. Portuguese (6.307)
2. Spanish_Extremadura (7.061)
3. Spanish_Galicia (7.266)
4. Spanish_Cantabria (7.592)
5. Spanish_Castilla_Y_Leon (7.609)
6. Spanish_Murcia (7.860)
7. Spanish_Cataluna (7.977)
8. Spanish_Castilla_La_Mancha (9.082)
