The Egyptians were basically Semitic, like today's Arabs. If you notice the pictures by Egyptians during their day, you see themselves portrayed overseeing Nubians, or black slaves. The Egyptians of old, resemble The Egyptians of today, and neither were or are black. Of course that flies in the face of today's pop culture, but reality is actually reality. There was no advanced black culture, like the Egyptians, in all of Africa.
