"Egyptians are not Arabs and are not Africans despite the fact that Egypt is in Africa,"

Well, they are Africans, since they lived and continue to live in Africa. They weren't and aren't primarily sub-Saharan or black Africans, though.

Quite honestly, I don't believe there are very many people of whatever ethnicity today who are entitled to boast about the accomplishments or culture of the ancient Egyptians. Modern Egyptians turned their backs on that civilization with their embrace of Islam and other religions. And it makes about as much sense for a person originating from West Africa to lay claim to ancient Egypt as it does for an Irishman to claim ancient Athens as his heritage.

You must have missed that Time or Newsweek article years ago about towns in China that claim heritage back to Alexander the Great.
