Why people say the Egyptians were white or black? When most roman depictions show them to be Arab looking and we know the the Dynnastic Egyptians were indigenous to the Nile?
What causes these people to steal the history of others and proclaim it for themselves?
Well, in the case of Egypt, both Greeks and Nubians reigned for some time.
Both groups tend to exaggerate this fact though.

So did Africans didn't they? Atleast for a century.
From what I know- Egyptians weren't as exclusive with race as we are now. They liked to fuck everyone.
How are they Arab if they're indigenous to the Nile? Arabs were roaming the Arabian peninsula when the Egyptians were at their height. The Arabs invaded later under Islam and the Coptic Christians are all that's left of the ancient Egyptian people.

Most Egyptian depictions show them as brown with mostly dark hair.

Northern African then.
My point in the OP still stands.
>Egyptians in Roman times looked the same as Egyptians 2000 years before

You do know Nubians were African, right?
