Egyptian pharaohs being black

The 25th dynasty was a line of pharaohs who originated in the Kingdom of Kush, located in present-day northern Sudan and Upper Egypt. Most of this dynasty's kings saw Napata as their spiritual homeland. They reigned in part or all of Ancient Egypt for nearly a century, from 744 to 656 BC.[5][6][7][8]

I'm wondering, since the article states "present-day northern Sudan and Upper Egypt", what did the landscape as well as the ethnicity of the area look like back then?

Saying it's part of present-day Sudan (& upper Egypt) invokes thoughts in the present-day mind that these were black people. Was that upper Nile river area populated, and more importantly...ruled, by black African people at that time?

Tangentially, even if a couple of the ~170 Egyptian pharaohs were black and descended from black rulers in other parts of Africa, doesn't make them builders of ancient Egypt. It's like saying Soebarkah built the United States, simply because he successfully usurped the presidency twice.
