Ancient Egyptian nobility were WHITE.

I would qualify this a bit. It depends on your definition of 'whiteness' which people seem to have different ideas about. They most certainly had the mutations for light skin and blue eyes, but these people were not descended from or the ancestors of Indo-European/Aryans.

Please offer me the opportunity to learn how one knows this for sure.

Well, if you look at the PCA clusterings, you can see the populations they are nearest

The ancient populations nearest them are Levants from the middle east, and the modern populations they resemble are the Semitic groups, Palestinian, Lebanese Syrians, and also the Bedouins. European populations aren't anywhere in the vicinity

They made giant pyramids out of precision, sound-molded rocks, and these pyramids are in absolutely perfect alignment across continents. I don't think people being close by meant much to them. They had technologies that were more advanced than ours... Including electricity, planes, helicopters, etc­.
