What ethnicity was the majority of ancient Egyptians?
Hi there -- this question pops up here with some regularity. I'd recommend you first read this great thread on concepts of race throughout history:
If that's too long, you can just skip to the last paragraph:
To return to the titular question: Is it possible to tell what the ancient Egyptians looked like in terms of what color their skin most likely looked like? Yes, many of them most likely looked like modern Middle Easterners when it comes to their complexion, while others looked like people from Sub-Sahara Africa. Is it possible to tell how they divided their society? Yes, based on the evidence we have, we can say that we can discern how they divided their society with good approximation. Can we tell their race? No, not really since that concept in its approach to humanity and the social logic behind it was utterly foreign to them and projecting current social trends ind ideas backwards into history is most likely going to get someone into really hot water really fast.
