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?

Cleopatra was of Greek descent

Alexander the Great of Macedonia (what's now northern Greece) conquered Egypt, and installed his people as the new ruling class.
