Huh? I don't think that King Tut was black. Where did you get that idea? The Coptic Christians of Egypt do indeed look the majority but there are less likely to be descended from Arabs because their ancestors were in Egypt prior to the invasion. I never claimed they were black. I was only presenting the theory that they were more likely to resemble the Ancient Egyptians.

Perhaps you are confused because there are also Coptic Christians in Ethiopia, who also happen to be black.

My point was that just because Eqypt was conquered by Arab Muslim armies did not change the ethic attributes of most Egyptians that much, and therefore most Egyptians and most Coptic Christians will be similarly related to ancient Egyptians but the Coptic Christians not more so.
