I prefer to use genes to map migration, not speculation like you do. To elaborate, Ancient Egypt's foundings are clearly not in Northeast Afric
a. Ancient Egyptians ceremonially wore leopard skins after all. Only Southern Africans like the Zulu wear leopard skins and leopards only thrive below the Sahara desert where black Africans do. Ancient Egyptians are heavily Southern African, with Southern African culturalisms to boot, which implies their origin comes somewhere from there. Furthermore the Eb1b1a haplogroup found in Pharaoh Ramses maps exactly where I said:
"The E-M2 branches are the predominant lineage in
Western Africa,
Central Africa,
Southern Africa, and the southern parts of
Eastern Africa.
The lack of this haplogroup in Northeast Africa implies the Ancient Egyptians migrated from somewhere in the above regions.
Lol! I'm doing speculation? Than what the hell are you doing with the bolded? So now you're saying that only the Zulus wore leopard skin? Like I said you're clearly a layman. The Nubians also wore Leopard skin.
The Nubians were mostly Nilotic people and from Northeast Africa. Leopard skin is a common clothing throughout Africa. Again what the hell are you talking about.
How about you stop rambling on about things you don't understand and read what I post clearly so you don't embarrass yourself. The MLI scores are right in front of your face. Its mostly Great Lake Region, which is used to represent Nilotic speakers. Stop trying to deny the Northeast African origins of Egypt will silly speculations.
Most studies point to Egyptian culture and genetics being more similar to Nilotic speakers today. More importantly Egypt is seen as a Sudanese transplant.
To sum up, Nubia is Egypt’s African ancestor. What linked Ancient Egypt to the rest of the North African cultures is this strong tie with the Nubian pastoral nomadic lifestyle, the same pastoral background commonly shared by most of the ancient Saharan and modern sub-Saharan societies. Thus, not only did Nubia have a prominent role in the origin of Ancient Egypt, it was also a key area for the origin of the entire African pastoral tradition.

The Neolithic cultures in northern Egypt show evidence over time of varying contacts, with Saharan influences the most dominant. In the case of food procurement, ancestral Egyptians living on Lake Fayum added to their tradition of foraging by raising Near Eastern domesticated plants (wheat and barley) and animals (sheep and goats).
Domesticated cattle came from the Sahara but may also have come from the Near East. Considering that wheat and barley agriculture was practiced in Asia (the Near East) 2,000 years before it was in Egypt, it is important to note that the early Egyptian way of life did not change abruptly at this time (around 5000 B.C.), which is what one would expect if Egypt had simply been peopled by farmers migrating from the Near East. These early Egyptians incorporated the new food stuffs and techniques—and likely some people—into their culture and society on their own terms.The major features of cultural and political development that led to dynastic Egypt originated in southern Egypt during what is called the predynastic period. Some evidence suggests that predynastic Egyptian and early Nubian cultures had ties to the early Saharan cultures and shared a Saharo-Nilotic heritage. Perhaps the earliest predynastic culture, the Badarian-Tasian* (4400 B.C. or earlier, to 4000 B.C.), had the clearest ties to Saharan cultures in the desert west of Nubia.

the question of the origin of the royal ‘ka’ and the other concerns the origin of the red and white crowns. Wilkinson presents strong evidence that Naqada I was an archetypal representative of the traditional African cattle-culture, a type of society that still exists in a remarkably pure form in the southern Sudan, despite years of civil war. Among Sudanese Nilotes, cattle are raised as symbols of wealth, as the medium for all social transactions (like marriage), and as sources of renewable food (blood and milk). The people rarely kill cattle for meat, which they obtain by hunting wild game. Wilkinson’s overview of the evidence for Naqada I transhumance and cattle burial, coupled with his analysis of the rock art, suggests that Egyptian civilization sprang from a society of broadly similar characteristics. Cows with artificially deformed horns, so common among Nilotes today, are often featured in the early rock art of Egypt and Sudan as well as in Egyptian dynastic art (Kendall 1989, 680–88, fig. 1, 9–12). Even the historic Egyptian symbols of royal office — the crook and the flail — recall a time when the king was seen as the chief herdsman of his people.

How the heck is this not Northeast African. Ancient Egyptians even built in rounded and not squared huts like Nilotic speakers do today.
Study African history, culture and bio-anthropology before you make assumptions.
