The mummy portraits come from ROMAN Egypt, when significant amounts of Roman people settled in Egypt just like the Greeks did before them. The Egyptians, by the time these portraits where painted, had become a minority in their own land. Egypt was a prized land due to its fertility and wealth and so many of its invaders ended up settling there to exploit the land and make their own fortunes.
I see no difference between Ancient Egyptians and Mediterraneans.
The claim that the copts are pure descendants of ancient Egyptians is utterly false and is used by the West to empower the Christian Copts to rise up against the Arab elite. Copts are just like Arab Egyptians, they are natives heavily mixed with foreigners. Just look at pictures of Copts. They still look like the Greeks they are.
The Ancient Egyptians themselves believed to come from Punt in Somalia. The paintings on the tombs from the Old, Middle and New Kingdom periods when the Egyptians were pure look very much like Somalis but with a lighter, more caramel complexion, which makes sense due to their closeness to the Mediterranean. They still have the straight nose, high cheekbones and slim figures that come naturally to Horners. Anyone who claims that the Egyptians were not related to Horners is just accepting the lies and claims of white anthropologists. Honestly, I expected better of you @SOMALI GENERAL.
Do these people look like Leventines to you?
