posted ALL OF THE SUBSEQUENT EVIDENCE PROVIDED BY THE GREEKS, THE ROMANS; THE HISTORIANS, THE ANTHROPOLOGISTS...MERELY SERVE TO CONFIRM WHAT THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS HAD TO SAY REGARDING THEIR ETHNIC ORIGINS AND IDENTITY - THIS CAN BE REDUCED TO A SINGLE, EXPLICIT WORD IN THEIR LANGUAGE!
MOST COPTIC WORDS RETAIN THEIR SINGULAR FORM IN THE PLURAL.
PI_RWMI - THE MAN : NI_RWMI - THE MEN
HOWEVER, SOME ARE IRREGULAR AND REQUIRE THE ALTERATION OF THEIR SINGULAR FORM
PI_SAFE - THE DESERT : NI_SAFE_U - THE DESERTS
PI_IARO - THE RIVER : NI_IARW_OU - THE RIVERS
PI_OURO - THE KING : NI_OURW_OU - THE KINGS
PI_RW - THE MOUTH : NI_RW_OU - THE MOUTHS
PI_KMOM - THE BLACK : NI_KMOM_OU - THE BLACKS

I am actually amazed how Eurocentrics and other white racist scholars were able to get away with the ridiculous ruse of non-black or even 'white' ancient Egyptians in the first place! Out of all the popular "classic" civilizations of the ancient world, Egypt is the ONLY one that is Africa, yet how Westerners were somehow able to disassociate it from its own continent is astounding!
