The original indigenous people of Egypt were the ancient Egyptians, who were racially and linguistically halfway between the Semitic people of the Middle East and the ancient Libyans, Tuaregs and Berbers of North Africa. Not Europeans, not Negro and not Semitic, they were another, separate race.

Since 639 AD Egypt has been occupied by Muslim Arabs and its people have been racially subsumed by the Arabic people, culture and language (much like the Celts of Britain have been subsumed by foreign invasions).
