So your point about Egyptians being Caucasians (through the AfroAsiatic branch that includes Semites and Berbers), yes, but not to the Indo-European/Aryan branch

I do not disagree with anything you said. I was just positing that the Egyptians and North Africans might be descended from people who migrated there from southwest Asia, rather than being natively African.

But that's what I said 7 years ago: all Eqyptians were "Africans" in the sense that Egypt is on the continent of Africa. However, were they Bantu? No, definitely not. They were a mixture of Nubian/Ethiopian types and Semitic types (initially), then you had the mixing with Aryans (through the various invasions of the Sea-peoples and the Greeks and Romans) and now the Arabs. in post 32 -- the core base was Ethiopic and Semitic -- and both of these linguistically belong to the Afro-Asiatic group, and I'd guess also racially.
