CMV: The skin color of the Ancient Egyptians depends on which dynasty we're looking at.

I've seen a lot of debate about the skin color of Ancient Egyptians lately. Many people claim that the Egyptians were black, while others claim that they looked more like Europeans, but wouldn't that depend on the dynasty? Here's my reasoning:
If Egypt was one of the first human civilizations and humans originated in Ethiopia, wouldn't that mean that the Egyptians of the first couple of dynasties looked more African than anything else? Then over time and through many invasions their skin color became lighter. The first dynasty Egyptians had to have migrated from a Central African location right? So once they did, through a very long time their skin color would have adapted to becoming lighter due to being further from the equator. Then once the invasions took place and people of European decent took over obviously their skin color was lighter. I would love to know if I'm incorrect on how skin color works or about the history of Egypt.

You're correct in the sense it does depend on the dyansty, but you aren't correct in the fact that it slowly changed and lightened over time. The vast majority of pharoahs were of a regular north african complexion, however there were times when Egypt was invaded, notably by the Nubians, who were black. Aside from those times, the other time that the skin colour changed was during the Ptolemaic Dynasty which came about due to the death of Alexander the Great, and the division of the empire. The Ptolemaic dyansty was marked by Greek rulers who went out of their way to stay as Greek as possible. Other than that, the skin colour didn't change all that much.
