Civilization started in western Asia. The earliest recorded history is from what is now Iraq....although even early cities such as Jericho are at least 10,000 years old.
The people that are now considered "white" came from western Asia (i.e. Northern India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the southern Russian steppes). The migration was north and east as the World climate warmed.
Egypt and Greece came much, much later.
The Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans were not obsessed by race, and saw it as largely irrelevant. Although all three civilizations saw the Slavic people of Eastern Europe as inferior (hence the origin of the word slave).
By any objective measure....Egypt was a melting pot. To say Egypt was a "Black" civilization is ridiculous. Yes, for a time Egypt extended south into Nubia....(Although many "Nubians" in present day Sudan consider themselves Arabic and not Black).
Over many centuries, the Egyptians were conquered by many peoples. The Hyksos People of western Asia (i.e. Northern Iran, Iraq, and Russia) defeated Egypt 4000 years ago, and ruled Egypt for centuries.

Later, the Greeks under Alexander the Great defeated Egypt and ruled the nation for many centuries until the Romans finally took over.
Western Asia is truly the World's melting pot, with strong influences of all three races. Remember the Mongols defeated the entire region, and they were basically of Han Chinese ancestry.
Bottom line people: Don't so obsessed by race. All have contributed.
