I keep finding conflicting sources but the one that seems most legitimate is that the Ancient Egyptians were tan/caramel colored and saw themselves as lighter compared to a similar ancient culture known as Nubia who were definitely black as depicted by their hieroglyphics. I think there were black rulers of Egypt but for the most part they looked like most people living in Egypt today. Can someone confirm whether or not I'm correct and maybe go into further detail?
Quick FYI- backwards applying these kinds of concepts ("white" vs "black") doesn't accurately engage with historical conceptions of hereditary and ethnocultural identity. u/commiespaceinvader talks about some prior misconceptions of these kinds of questions here and u/cleopatra_philopater talks about general perceptions of skin tone and ethnicity back then here.
Now that we've gotten that obligatory notice out of the way, it is freaky how hard it actually is to find detailed, informed responses to "what did Egyptians look like" besides what Cleopatra Philopater posted (well, unless it's specifically about the historical final Cleopatra), which is moreso about broader conceptions of race rather than this question in particular. I suspect this is because usually FAQ Finders get to a post with short answers from before this sub received quality controls or the above deconstructions very quickly, which discourages better types of answers from users of modern rule standards. That's not saying they're wrong in doing so, but it's created a vacuum of certain very specific types of content like this question that entered into the sub culture at the wrong time.
Still, for the best of the aforementioned pre-quality control answers, u/hellaunicorns posts about this here, though their tone implies they don't have great credibility. If you're ok with r/AskAnthropology, there's this post from u/GreenStrong which might be useful.
