Egypt is in Africa and Ancient Egyptians were Africans.
However, the people of Egypt were distinct and insular from themajority of the continent, having more in common with the races ofthe Levant and the Near East. In the same way, the people ofwestern and southern Asia (Mesopotamia, Indus River) are oftenconsidered independently of the rest of the large Asian continent(e.g. China, Japan, Indonesia).
