@kemetkush The true egyptian is the "nubian". I don't like to use this term though because it was the Romans who invented it. But when we talk of King Ha, Hawk, Menes (Namr) these first kings of egypt, they are the people of wawat aka Nubia. These arabs and others in the north are the transplants that came in starting in around 300 BC or so after the African Pharaohs (the real pharaohs) fell.
