Egyptians don't have a monolithic look. Lower Egyptians like OP's pic tend to be mixed with arab and Greek where as upper Egyptians are blacker. Historically speaking upper Egyptians population has remained the most unchanged ethnically.

nah they are slightly more black and arab.
The copts, on the other hand are the unmixed descendants of ancient egyptians.

This desu senpai.

Copts have a pretty direct lineage back to the ancient Egyptians, they haven't done very much large scale race-mixing since the Islamic conquest (although it has occurred on a smaller, isolated scale and so most all Copts have at least Arab DNA in them).

Muslim Egyptians on the other hand are kind of a random admixture of Arab, Maghrebian, Ethiopian, Sudanese and Ancient Egyptian DNA with various other Med shit thrown in there.

Also, a very big amount of Egyptians are descendants of Arabs or Sudanese who immigrated several centuries ago, their DNA tends to still be pretty pure Arab/Sudanese because that's what happens when all of your ancestors were first cousins.

WE (have an argument with good English)

I don't know why there's so much debate over this shit. We've known what they looked like for ages.

The problem with that study is that the mummies were only taken from one site in lower Egypt, also sub-saharan is a problematic designation not clearly defined and thus open to manululation. It implies that "black" is always "sub-saharan" whatever that actually means in this study, which is apparently only represented by Yoruba people and only Yoruba people. So per the study the implication is that Nubian and Ethiopians are not black.

It would be like studying ancient Rome, and splitting Europeans into sub-alpine vs European. With the implication of only European meaning white. Then you sample remains from Sicily, and use only one Scottish tribe as your definer if European(white). Then come to the conclusion of "Romans were far less white in the past". Obviously anybody who wants to believe it will take the study at face value without any critical analysis. That's what is happening here.

I'll just leave this here

The name is wrong
It should be BerberNubianLevantineEgyptian

you're right

No, the ancient Egyptians were red. You can see so clearly in their art.

>samefagging this hard
You are pathetic human being

Ancient Egyptians didn't just disappear. They simply assimilated with the arab invaders. So Moddern Egyptians are related to Ancient Egyptians.

This, just like based Alexander

yeah, some of them looked like this in the Coptic period

typical Egyptian

Only the Copts, Nubians and Copts cluster together when identifying genes for tropical disease

>The closest populations on the MDS with respect to our ancient meta population (ANCIENT EGYPTIAN or AEGY) are modern populations from Saudi-Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen and other Near-East populations.

>Finally, we analysed several functionally relevant SNPs in sample JK2911, which had low contamination and relatively high coverage. This individual had a derived allele at the SLC24A5 locus, which contributes to lighter skin pigmentation and was shown to be at high frequency in Neolithic Anatolia41, consistent with the ancestral affinity shown above. Other relevant SNPs carry the ancestral allele, including HERC2 and LCT, which suggest dark-coloured eyes and lactose intolerance (Supplementary Table 9).
>The ancient DNA data revealed a high level of affinity between the ancient inhabitants of Abusir el-Meleq and modern populations from the Near East and the Levant. This finding is pertinent in the light of the hypotheses advanced by Pagani and colleagues, who estimated that the average proportion of non-African ancestry in Egyptians was 80% and dated the midpoint of this admixture event to around 750 years ago17. Our data seem to indicate close admixture and affinity at a much earlier date, which is unsurprising given the long and complex connections between Egypt and the Middle East. These connections date back to Prehistory and occurred at a variety of scales, including overland and maritime commerce, diplomacy, immigration, invasion and deportation54. Especially from the second millennium BCE onwards, there were intense, historically- and archaeologically documented contacts, including the large-scale immigration of Canaanite populations, known as the Hyksos, into Lower Egypt, whose origins lie in the Middle Bronze Age Levant54.
>Our genetic time transect suggests genetic continuity between the Pre-Ptolemaic, Ptolemaic and Roman populations of Abusir el-Meleq, indicating that foreign rule impacted the town’s population only to a very limited degree at the genetic level.

muh nilotics

Egypt is African that means Egypt was black before white colonization
Why can’t eurocentrists understand this?

Probably.

This fucking anoying nigger with this egypt was black thread yet again, sage

Stay classy anons
