They were non-*******. I have no doubt that they had dark skin . Many of the people living in India and Pakistan also have dark skin But neither they nor the ancient egyptians arre racialy black.
If the ancient egyptians were in fact black then you would see more ******* features among the residents of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea .
The reason being that Mediteranean peoples have been mixing bloodlines for the past 3500 years and since in genetics dark is always dominan .if it was present c/o the ancient egyptians then black features should show up - and they don't.

Ancient Egyptians were black. A lot of ancient wars, trade, Roman Empire, conquests etc, Egypt being a major center for learning resulted in intermingling of races, which is why today, majority of Egyptians are Arab/Turkish looking amongst other things(no offense intended).

The Egyptians were descendants of Africa. Check the "begats" in genesis. The 12 sons of Israel were all from the same blood line as Abraham who was from Nimrod, but to take it back even further Abraham was a descendant of Chem who was an African (Genesis 11:10) . So Egyptians were descendants of Africa.

Look at Boutros Ghali, former Sec-Gen of UN. He is a Copt, of the Christian population of Egypt who, because of Muslim rules on inter-faith marriage, are the closest representative of the ancient Egyptians. Look at that man and then answer the question for yourself.

this question was put into play back in the 1970s. Some made this claim they were black, said Cleopatra was black women. This is false, in that Cleopatra was white.

Look at any of Egyptian paintings (they are preserved in color) and you will see that their skin was closer to black (depicted brown-red). After Alexanders conquest their dynasty was Greek (white). In time many nation mixed in Egypt.

By 300 BC the dynasty was whiter than clorox.

Dark skinned - closer to black than white.

I am not sure if they were either, but it seems that they would be dark tan to protect them from the harsh Egyptian sun.
