Were Ancient Egyptians genetically closer to Modern Egyptians or Modern Ethiopians?

Discuss.

I hear a lot of people say they were darker-skinned compared to today and that Modern Egyptians have too much Arab influence. Ancient Egyptians certainly looked nothing like Nigerians, but Ethiopians...maybe?

I think they were closer to Modern Ethiopians.

Ethiopians ? : )) no

The old Egyptian state used to change regularly in its size sometimes reached to south sudan and sometimes shrink to upper Egypt.

the Egyptians themselves were mixed due to immigrations , King sheshnak ruled Egypt and he was Amazigh from his father side when he reached Egypt by the order of Pharaoh Ibsamtek the first to enroll in his army with his fellows amazigh..

Hyksos Also were mixed with Egyptians during their occupation to North and Middle east (they even dressed like Egyptians and took their names , kinda like what Alexander the Great did when he visited Amoun temple to show the Egyptians that he is part of them also and he respects them).

Nubians took part in ruling Egypt after the united of Egypt and Nubia in one kingdom.. and so with Libyans and other ethnics.

the answer to your question is very hard to tell , you will find Egyptians from many races ( white with blue eyes , olive with green eyes , brown with brown eyes , black and so on)... the paintings on the temples shows many kings of Egypt from many races (black and brown) , Ramses himself from reserachs had red hair and so on..

Egyptians were Egyptians , anyone lived here and spoke our accent is Egyptian

Egyptians were diverse in how they looked due to being the region where Sub-Sahara, Asia, and Libya connected but their overall look seems to be more similar to Ethiopians based on ancient paintings.

Yes he does kinda. Bet there are many Ethiopians with that look.
