@kemetkush The true egyptian is the "nubian". I don't like to use this term though because it was the Romans who invented it. But when we talk of King Ha, Hawk, Menes (Namr) these first kings of egypt, they are the people of wawat aka Nubia. These arabs and others in the north are the transplants that came in starting in around 300 BC or so after the African Pharaohs (the real pharaohs) fell.

The persians settled hebrew israelite on this islands with there families along side the ancient black egyptians.
this island around 500 bc was major israelite outpost.
The israelites and the egyptians lived side by side and intermingled and formed the people on this island today who are descendants of both israelites and egyptians that is why even though they are all dark skinned they have different features.
