It is hard to say what the Egyptians looked like. They were certainly not Negroes tho. We do know that Ramses the Great had red wavy hair.

Cleopatra was a direct descendant of Ptolemy who was one of Alexander the great’s generals. He was Macedonian and spoke Greek. Her ancestry is well known but she had one Grandparent who is unknown. The odds of her being Black must be no more than one in a million.

In one of the tombs of the kings of Egypt, there is one of the paintings on the wall of the slaves under them working in the mud making bricks. It depicts some as blond and white skinned, light hair with slightly brown skin, brown skinned with black hair etc.

Now why would they paint them that way?

Among the treasures of King Tut, there is the throne and a footstool with the "enemies" of Egypt on them. One is the Asiatic, sharp nosed, bearded. robed.

The other is the Nubian. Black, big lips, slanting forehead.

You can definitely tell the difference between Egyptians and Nubians.
