Well.... Egyptians beauty would actually fit in with today. They wore makeup and had their own style. They were very focused on beauty just like today.

Plutarch wrote that Cleopatra charmed with her voice, intellect and manners, but her appearance was neither unique nor dazzling. Ugly Cheopatra wasn't, but still quite ordinary according to the beauty ideals and standards of her time. Although the pictures and statues tell us that Cleo had a long sharp chin, a large hooked nose, heavy cheeks and a narrow and slightly sunken face which were possibly the result of Ptolemaic inbreeding.

I am Egyptian, A COPTIC CHRISTIAN EGYPTIAN. I shout that out loud because we are the most pure blooded Egyptians out there and that's not only my opinion that's what Egyptologists, Historians and Scientists also agreed on , and I tell you that every word that Bassem Youssef said is right and I totally agree with him. Yes Egypt had lots of mixed cultures throughout its history like for example: Greeks, Romans and Arabs, but the Egyptian blood didn't mix and change that much and that's because for centuries we Egyptians had a golden tradition rule to marry our cousins, and that tradition is still present until now especially in Upper Egypt(from Assiut to Aswan), Although that tradition seems silly and bad from a scientific biological point of view, but that doesn't matter, silly or not we kept that tradition of marrying our cousins for centuries and that helped us to preserve our pure Egyptian blood not mixed as long as we could, and the result is what you see now and that is Modern Egyptians looks typical to their Ancient Egyptian Ancestors, just look at my skin color and Bassem Youssef's skin color we are almost the same although he is a Muslim who was born and lived in Cairo and I am a Coptic Christian who was born and lived in Luxor and there is almost a 1000 km distance between us, doesn't that tell you a thing or two about who Ancient Egyptians were and what they looked like? With all due respect for all the Black people and all the other ethnicities out there, but we Egyptians are special very special, WE ARE NOT Black or White or Yellow, Not Europeans or Africans or Asians, Not Assyrians or Persians or Israelites or Nubians or Greeks or Romans or Arabs or French or Italians or Germans or British or Turkish or Ukrainians, Not Middle Easterners or Caucasians or Mediterraneans or Levants or Amazigh or Berbers or even North Africans. WE ARE EGYPTIANS, WE ARE VERY UNIQUE!

[@softplanet777]

Nope , during the second intermediate period , Hyksos brought your people to Kemet. I’m Greek but even im going to tell you that the original Egyptians were African that originated from upper Egypt . Egypt wasn’t even called Egypt back in 3200 BC but you’re such an expert that lived all these years 😘

[@Heartstopper90]

Actually even if you’re partly correct, you still have arab blood in you. DNA tests show that Copts aren’t far off from muslim Egyptians. I’d like to believe that copts are the rightful descendants of the ancient Egyptians but not everything is sunshine and rainbows although I do respect you for having preserved the language so that we have been able to decipher hieroglyphs but that’s about it
