From the very beginning of the ancient Egyptian civilization the first people of the Nile Valley were Cushite people(native africans who's history can be traced back to the dawn of man). Semites were the second group of people to enter Egypt. Ancient Egyptians were a mixture of native Cushites(africans) and Semitic groups(a tanned skinned near eastern group) who settled into Egypt. Most of the very known pharaohs and queens from Narmer Menes to Ramses,Seti,Nefertari,Queen tiye,Akhenaten,Nefertiti,the Tuthmosis family and Tutankhamen were all of African origin except Cleopatra (mixed heritage) and Alexander the great(Greek). The best image of ancient Egyptians is how East Africa looks of today. Ancient Egyptians were of African origin.
