At the end of the Ice ages around 10,500 B.C.E, the Sahara had become a green fertile valley again, and it’s African population returned from the interior and coastal highlands in Sub-Sahara Africa. By 5000 B.C.E the Sahara region was increasingly becoming drier which lead the population to trekked out of the Sahara region towards the Nile valley below the cataract where they made permanent or semi- permanent settlements (between lower Egypt Aswan and upper Sudan Khartoum)
Timeline:
- “22,000 to 10,500 years ago: The Sahara was devoid of any human occupation outside the Nile Valley and extended 250 miles further south than it does today.
- 10,500 to 9,000 years ago: Monsoon rains begin sweeping into the Sahara, transforming the region into a habitable area swiftly settled by Nile Valley dwellers.
- 9,000 to 7,300 years ago: Continued rains, vegetation growth, and animal migrations lead to well established human settlements, including the introduction of domesticated livestock such as sheep and goats.
- 7,300 to 5,500 years ago: Retreating monsoonal rains initiate desiccation in the Egyptian Sahara, prompting humans to move to remaining habitable niches in Sudanese Sahara. The end of the rains and return of desert conditions throughout the Sahara after 5,500 coincides with population return to the Nile Valley and the beginning of pharaonic and Kerma society”

- 5500 to 4000 B.C.E The Sahara drier climate exceedingly speed up by a continued monsoon which brought further rain north causing lakes and rivers to shrink significantly leading to desertification. The decreased amount of land conducive to settlements cause the migration to farming communities to more tropical climate of West,and East Africa once more.
it seem that modern Egyptian genetic input came in from migration especially with the arrival of the Hyksos. Hyksos establishes a dynasty that lasted for over 300 years. Hyksos were never expelled from lower Egypt adding to the genetic make up during the beginning of the Middle Kingdom plus migration to Egypt was common even pervious in the old kingdom. So will this not make it clear that the original ancient Egyptian were Black Africans until genetic admixture from different groups?
