ancient art doesnt depict egyptians as black. It modern history and movies that has tried to separate Eygpt from Africa. True some Pharoahs were Greek so of course there was pro'ly some racial intergration.

But the Heiros showed DARK people. They used copper to represent there skin. Eygpt is also close to Arabia so of course people will have similar feature as the arabs too.
