Egyptians? Really? Instead of whom? Olmecs? Peace Corps volunteers? Space aliens?
North European Druids. Refugees from Atlantis. Nubians. No, Hawass goes against the flow and asserts it was Egyptians.
Keep in mind that Egypt was occupied by a number of people through the ages. The present residents are to a large part descended from Arab invaders. The despised Christian Copts have a stronger link to the more ancient Egyptians. And many of the Egyptians of ancient days likely migrated out of the rigid hierarchy of Egyptian society back when Greek and Roman civilizations were rising.
