The ancient Egyptians are 90% identical to moderns, except that there is more "black" in them now do to the Arab slave trade.
They are a very mixed race, as Eurasians started back migrating to North Africa in the stone ages. They still have a great deal of native African "E," but this does not mean "black" as North Africans evolved on a similar latitude, and look like Middle Easterners.
The entire "black Egypt" thing was created to address self esteem needs. Everyone has seen depictions of the ancients, and know what they looked like. A few do look strikingly "black," a vast majority do not, and Afrocentrist always try to pass off depictions of Nubians, Pharoah in symbolic blackness, etc.
Thus, we propose that the Neolithic transitionin this part of the world was accompanied by demic diffusion ofAfro-Asiatic–speaking pastoralists from the Middle East.
and recent human craniofacial dimensions supports thepicture documented by genetics that the extension of Neolithic agriculture fromthe Near East westward to Europe and across North Africawas accomplished by a process of demic diffusion (11–15)....

the dynastic period is likely an indigenous continuation of the Naqadaculture, 4) there is support for overall biological uniformity through thedynastic period, and 5) this uniformity may continue into postdynastic times.

This will likely start a race war thread and maybe should be closed.
At any rate, I have discussed this with two Anthropologists I know and they can confirm that most Egyptians were indeed of a darker race then originally believed.
Egypt ( and various cultures ) was always various in colors. It it obvious that White/pale skinned people was rare as the sun in most areas would blacken most complexions. Seriously with enough sun anybody is black. But about being black; duh the Egyptians are all knowing of this already.
Keep in mind that many people of the Africas, Orient, and Asian races have multitudes of races. Not just what the common wealth dictates.

So global warming could be a unifying factor, because with more sun everybody would be black. Good to know, let's warm up the planet !
Ancient Egypt was probably a multicultural place which had every race.
I'm sure they were. They definitely had to have been cognizant of race or they would all look the same today, considering they had 4000+ years to mix.
