Liberated from the evil empire, but I couldn't find a great summary page including this exact piece. Frustrating!

Anybody have a good reference page for this one?

For sure.

TBH I have no formal training in Egyptian history, but AFAIK across thousands of years, they were ruled by various kinds of ethnicities and peoples who looked somewhat different from each other.

I don't want to over-speak (because I'm just a layman), but I get the impression that the various kings & queens could range from identifiably African, to... Semitic / Arabic, to... their final conquerors, the Macedonians. (Greeks)
