People who claim that Eqypt was black need to explain why murals exist depicting light skinned Egytians and dark-skinned foreigners in the same scene. If Egyptials were black africans there would be no such distinction painted in the murals.
BTW, it seems likely too, that the ancient Egyptians had litle, genetically or ethnically in common with the current-day, semitic residents of Egypt.

Well, what happened to the old Egyptians? I mean Cleopatra did live at the time of the Romans, so, what happened, where did they go? Were they just over run and bred out by Arabs?
