There IS a difference between the WEst African/Bantus and the Ethiopian tribes, physically, culturally, linguistically, culturally, everything. The Ethiopians were in the horn of Africa, very close to the centres of civilisation (Egypt-Sumeria-Harappa). Things are not as black and white as certain persons like Farrakhan would like to potray.

Egyptians were a mixed people -- maybe that's why they reached their greatness -- by taking the best of both worlds available to them.

The Ptolemy's black???  huh?  They intermarried -- brother and sister, that's why Ptolemy's son was nicknamed Philadelphus -- brotherly love.  So they were Greek, or to be more correct, Macedonian (which was a mix between Greek and barbarian tribes -- Alexander's royal family was supposed to be pure Greek, but...)

Based on the geographical location of Egypt itself, you have to say that a Ethiopian-SEmitix mix for the old Kingdom makes sense.  BAsed also on the fact that Indo-Europeans didn't move into Anatolia until much later, they couldn't be Indo-European. 

LAter dynasty's would have been mixed -- and there WERE Libyan and Nubian dynastys.  There were also Assyrian and Persian invasions, but they didn't really mix with the locals.

There would NOT have been any Bantu blood in Egypt at any point in her history -- the west Africans didn't leave West Africa and the Congo until much later in years A.D.
