So the "superior race" is a Mediterranean-Middle Eastern mix? ;) Interestingly, the first person who ever calculated the size of the Earth lived in Egypt, but was of Greek descent. Whoever invented gunpowder was Chinese, and whoever invented the number zero was from India. It's almost as if race doesn't matter.
The Egyptians weren't even middle eastern blooded.
They were basically fully European during the time they built the pyramids.
Fun fact:
According to both Hindu religious history, and actual history, the group responsible were the Aryans and they were pasty white travellers who spread religion along the coasts and into modern day Mongolia/China. They even instituted the racial caste system.
Out of Africa is a meme.
Ancient Aryans is reality.
They have actually done the genetics on several mummies. Ancient Egyptians were most genetically similar to people from the Middle-East, but they were already a mix. The "Ancient Aryans" are a group that people like to make up fairy tales about (people often don't even know if they are talking about a language group or a genetic group).
People from the "middle east" of that time were basically Greeks and Italians. Mediterranean. Not at all what modern middle easterners are today. Closer to classic Persians.
What is "middle eastern" today is heavily warped by Islamic conquests in the past two centuries.
Except they existed and you can directly follow their movement across regions and cultures.
The iconography and temples built by the Aryans and their offshoot groups can be found across Asia and you can follow their movement along the coasts and inland into Mongolia/China.
The biggest repository of their history comes from India as a group settled there and basically built India as we know it from the ground up.
The Islamic conquests came from the Middle-East. No, we don't know that much about ancient Aryan (Indo-Iranian) temples except from some Vedic and Iranian sources.
