I fail to see what the cave drawings and rock art in the Eastern desert have to do with any of this ?

Clearly, not only did people migrate into the nile Valley from the West, ie Libya, they also we assume entered from the East.

The apparent consensus is, that Migrations from the West populated Upper Egypt ( Thebans considered themselves True Egyptians) whilst migrations from the East, settled Lower Egypt. In the Delta region, later Semetic migrations further reinforced the Upper Egyptian view.

That Egyptians were not black skinned and did not have negroid features, is most clearly evidenced by tomb reliefs, and statuary, and papypri. I seem to remember similiar arguments on this topic going as far back as the old Alt. News Groups.

I'm unclear as to why RB would want to pursue such a afro-centric line of research. Frankly, all human life emerged out of Africa, and diversified across the globe. So in a sense Africa is the genesis of all humans, but I must make clear, this in no way promotes afro-centric views. Black Africa was mostly insular, apart from Egyptian excusions into Kush, and Kush into Egypt, until the arrival in Africa of the colonial powers.
