Mummies from the pre-dynastic period. The Middle East, North Africa and the area from Iran to Europe were inhabited by white people, genetically and visually contemporaries of Europeans. Negroid people from the south were always depicted as enemies, or as conquered peoples making gifts. The modern population of Egypt received sub-Saharan admixture after the fall of Rome due to the slave trade. Egyptians of that period DID NOT HAVE this sub-Saharan admixture. Any information suggesting that ancient Egypt was built by brown-skinned looking people is a lie.
