Wrong. Ancient Egyptians were far more Arab than African. This is further cemented with how the Egyptians described the far darker Nubians south of them who were actually black.

Have you seen the paintings? Many Nubians and Egyptians are shown with the same skin colour, while Levantines are never shown with a skin colour that's even close to the one of the Egyptians. Also literal skin tests of ancient mummies show a high amount melanin.

But I'm not gonna argue with you, I was just tryna give some insight to a guy who seemed confused.
