ancient Egyptian DNA:
Ramesses III
In December 2012, a genetic study conducted by the same researchers who decoded King Tutankhamun's DNA found that Ramesses III, second pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt and considered to be the last great New Kingdom regent to wield any substantial authority over Egypt, belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup E-V38. (saharasian)
In 2013, Nature announced the publication of the first genetic study utilizing next-generation sequencing to ascertain the ancestral lineage of an Ancient Egyptian individual. The research was led by Carsten Pusch of the University of Tübingen in Germany and Rabab Khairat, who released their findings in the Journal of Applied Genetics. DNA was extracted from the heads of five Egyptian mummies that were housed at the institution. All the specimens were dated between 806 BC and 124 AD, a timeframe corresponding with the late Dynastic and Greek Ptolemaic Kingdom periods. The researchers observed that one of the mummified individuals likely belonged to the mtDNA haplogroup I2 (saharasian)
In 2015, genome sequencing of a 4,500-year-old skeleton from the Mota Cave in the highlands of southwest Ethiopia suggested that Middle Eastern farmers had migrated into Africa around three thousand years ago, bringing new crops to the continent such as wheat, barley and lentils. Mota was assigned to MtDNA haplogroup L3x2a and Y-DNA haplogroup E-P2 (saharasian).
Modern DNA:
Luis et al. (2004) found that the male haplogroups in a sample of 147 Egyptians were E1b1b (36.1%, predominantly E-M78), J (32.0%), G (8.8%), T(8.2%), and R (7.5%). E1b1b and its subclades are characteristic of some Afro-Asiatic speakers and are believed to have originated in either the Middle East, North Africa, or the Horn of Africa. Cruciani et al. (2007) suggests that E-M78, E1b1b predominant subclade in Egypt, originated in "Northeastern Africa", which in the study refers specifically to Egypt and Libya.

The people of ancient Egypt came in part from the Arabian Peninsula, in part by central asia territories and partly from Africa itself (not insignificant).

"Africa antiquity, from which he was 'always something new'. These conceptions survived through the centuries after the first teachings of historians of classical Greece. The latter had stated that 'the land of the Blacks' had created the civilization of 'Egypt of the Pharaohs, and Egypt, in turn, had fostered the birth of Greek civilization: in short, says Herodotus in 450 BC, "the names of almost all the gods came to Greece from Egypt." this view was widely accepted by Europeans until the early nineteenth century, more precisely until 1830, when it was suddenly replaced by the emergence of imperialist ideology on the hierarchy of races, in which the Blacks were placed in a lower level and even subhuman.

The Egyptology has proved a more difficult partner. The Egypt of the Pharaohs was considered as belonging to Africa? So far the problem had almost never place and, despite the testimony of ancient Greek authors, such as Diodorus, Egyptologists were generally given a dry negative answer: or Pharaonic Egypt had evolved within the its original spirit, or had derived from the cultures of Mesopotamia ..
