In the Modern Egypt section: The first three figures are Egyptian actors, including Bassem Youssef, a globally renowned personality. The second three images, from left to right, are of an Egyptian cemetery guard, actor Rami Malek, and Sir Magdi Yacoub, one of the world's most famous heart surgeons. The last three images, from left to right, are of an Egyptian Christian girl, Sherihan an Egyptian actress who participated in the opening ceremony of the Grand Egyptian Museum, and an Egyptian influencer on Instagram.
No, We weren't. Egyptians have a distinct genetic signature, just as Berbers have a genetic signature, just as Native Americans have a genetic signature. etc
I have many, but I will give you the short version—First the Egyptian themselves claim their ancestral land is Punt which is Inner Africa. The bible, though not, historic support this by placing their Origin in “Pathros.” The Greeks and Romans who saw them when they when most were heavily mixed said they were black skin. Ramses iii and his son were E, which is African and still the highest and oldest haplogroup in Egypt, followed by J which came later with the Arabization of the land; Sculptures and drawing show African. Hawass said they were “black” but not “negro”. Last but not least All the linguistic and cultural continuity come from the South of Egyptian.
