The Egyptians mummified DNA show they were from the Middle East.
Egyptians were most closely related to the peoples of the Near East, particularly from the Levant. This is the Eastern Mediterranean, The Levant which today includes the countries of Turkey, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. The mummies used were from the New Kingdom and a later period, (a period later than the Middle Kingdom) when Egypt was under Roman rule. https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/were-the-ancient-egyptians-black-or-white-scientists-now-know/
Levant is the name applied widely to the eastern Mediterranean coastal lands of Asia Minor and Phoenicia (modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon). In a wider sense, the term can be used to encompass the entire coastline from Greece to Egypt. The Levant is part of the Fertile Crescent and was home to some of the ancient Mediterranean trade centers, such as Ugarit, Tyre, and Sidon. It is the homeland of the Phoenician civilization. https://www.worldhistory.org/levant/
