If you look at how the Egyptians depicted themselves in their artwork, they did not show everyone having the same skin color, and there is some variation in the facial features on their sculptures. Some Egyptian sculptures have an African look, but then others are more Mediterranean and you can see how they relate to Greek sculpture. And some are a little of both.
I think a lot of people would benefit from taking a nice long dive into art history, and just looking at how the Egyptians represented themselves.
And how do the portraits of Cleopatra portray her ?
