I am not an expert on ancient Egyptian history, but I have studied the history. Also, I visited Egypt twice and traveled to Luxor and Aswan in the South. Egyptians in Aswan are called Nubians (there is a Nubian culture that dates back to the ancient days). The Nubians are black. The Egyptians in Luxor are also black, but appear to be a mix of black and white. The Egyptians in the north around Cairo are more like olive skinned Mediterraneans.
The history that I have read says that the early Egyptian civilization arose in Memphis (near Cairo) and the people were olive skinned Mediterraneans. By the time of the "New Kingdom," after the Hyxos invasion, the capitol had moved to Luxor in the south. The Egyptologist that gave us the tour of the Egyptian museum at Cairo stated that King Tut was likely of mixed heritage.

Tut's mom was Queen Tiy.Check out her picture when you get a chance.
She looks a lot like Maxine Waters.
Tut was a racial amagalm.No doubt that in 2006 America he could claim"black"and no one would question that appelation.
