...the first search result being about a community that in its largest part started existing in 1923 is relevant to ancient history?

I mean I don't know enough about ancient demographics to comment on whether there would feasibly be more than an extremely tiny minority of sub-saharan africans in ancient greece, but claiming someone didn't search and then providing an irrelevant search result has a certain irony to it.

    That's my bad, I had 2 links open in 2 tabs and copied the wrong one.

    Thanks, now I know a little more about ancient greek demographics! Well it still seems to be mainly about greeks in africa, but some exchange both ways seems inevitable when it's that prominent.

    It goes both ways. Ultimately, it's that the Greeks (and Romans) were obsessed with Egypt, and Egypt was in direct and lasting contact with the Nubians (modern Sudan) and parts of modern Ethiopia because they were farther up the Nile.
