If you know anything about Egyptology, you have to know that if there was a genetic disease like sickle cell, it would not have been carried by one person, it would have been present throughout the royal family since only the children of a brother and sister are eligible to advance to the throne. The exception was when Alexander conquered Egypt in 332 BC and installed Cleomenes as Viceroy. Cleomenes remained viceroy until Ptolomey brought Alexander's body back to Egypt and became Pharoah. Thereafter, the royal family contained Greek genetic material, which might have given it a boost in the continuation of the royal family. Cleopatra was the last of the Ptolomeic royal family so instead of black, Cleopatra would have been GREEK!
At Tut's time, Egypt was at war with Nubia over trade routes. While there were Nubians in Egypt, they would have been slaves captured in battle.
There is no way to conceptualize sickle cell present in Egyptian genes since the 18th dynasty and then remained dormant until the first reported case in 1951. After all, Tut's mummy was not the only one discovered.
At times nubia was part of the egyptian empire and nubians citizens. It is believed there was at least one pharoah who was black.
All the pharaohs were Black until they were invaded by Rome. The Kush empire and the Kemetic empire were competing Black cultures and took turns controlling each other.
