Well researched!
I gladly agree.
Lower "Aegiptos" (Egypt) was definatelly lighter skinned North-Afroasiato-Levant-Semites.
Upper "Kemet" (Egypt) was darker skinned Afro-Asiatics.
The skin colors which the ancients used to represent themselves are/were very exact.
Females with black skin are represented as such - attended by light skinned female servants.
Also, important not to forget - that women used a lead paint - worn to lighten their complexion....to glow/shine like the Moon, the main Goddess (Isis), the mother of Air (Horus), the wife of the sun (Osiris).
Isis, the moon - the main female deity - pale, night, gray, white, cool, blue...
Osiris, the sun - the main male deity - red, burned, cooked, brown, fire...
It is also important to mention that the pale "white skin" was used to represent ghosts, the dead.
It is a fact that many murals were poorly restored due to this fact being badly understood and surprisingly continues to be either neglected or still willingly misunderstood...
There is "white washing" of ancient artifacts that continues ... as a fine art restorer, I know.
As far as "Blue eyes" representations - blue was used to represent the Air (or Hot, Horus) - or the pureness of the soul of an individual.
Ancient Egyptians roots are in Nabta Playa. Not just a sun/moon Pregnancy observation stone circle ... the locals have been monitoring the cosmic movement for over 14,000 years before pre-dynamic Egypt... worth a read.
