Yes, it is entertaining. Even Santa Claus was black and according to Google's AI so were the Vikings, Irish, and Nazis along with George Washington, and many other founding fathers.
In general, the Egyptians are most similar to other Levantine (Middle Eastern) and North African peoples. Modern Egyptians appear to have 8% Sub-Saharan African DNA than ancient Egyptians (but some of the calculations are based on a small sample of ancient mummies).
This has become politicized in this country because a lot of people, especially black Americans, claim that the ancient Egyptians were black. In this country anyone with known sub-Saharan African ancestry is considered black (Hispanics excepted), even if it's half or less than half of their ancestry. Egypt was a transitional country--probably we would have seen a lot of people we would consider black in that sense but also a lot of people we would consider white.
A Roman official in Jerusalem mistook St. Paul for an Egyptian--so to him Egyptians were not necessarily black.
