From the banks of the Nile to Mount Sinai to the Red Sea, Testament seamlessly interweaves gripping docudrama and expert interviews, revealing Moses’ intensely personal quest for redemption—setting in motion some of the most inspiring and iconic events in the Bible, Qur’an and Torah.

Seems that Netflix has abandoned the notion of Black Egyptians. Moses and his people are not portraid as Black either. Maybe Netflix does not want to repeat the debacle with Cleopatra

I don't think Netflix makes all of the movies etc. on their platform. They just acquire the right to distribute other people's content. It may be that they didn't have much of a hand in the casting either of this series or the Cleopatra one.

Here is a few comments from the comment section inside the link.

This film is actually very historically inaccurate. Eygpt was never homogeneous, it's always been a multi cultural society filled with arabic, Mediterranean, Ethiopian and Sudanese people. To imply Eygpt was all light skinned arabic people like in this series is twisting history. The evidence is right in the ancient art. In the ancient art you will find Eygptians with tons of skin tones fron beige to dark reddish brown to literally black. This art can be found outside the 25th dynasty when Nubia took over Eygpt as well. Look up "new kingdom" eygptian art and look as you see many depictions of people with reddish dark brown skin. Skin you won't see in this film series. And hair that is afro in texture. Go to Egypt today and you will see a wide range of people and skin tones. To make a series where Eygpt is all beige light skinned arabic people is a falsehood. Not all Eygpt was dark brown either. There was a MIX of people. To exclude one or the other is a wrong doing. The fact people can except films like this, even though the ancient eygptian art is plain as day in it's depiction of dark brown skinned people and open for all to see, just shows how much mental bias people have because of white suprem@@cy's effect on the world. The fact that Egypt isn't outraged by not seeing their darker skinned populations in film also proves the cleopatra incident was never about accuracy. It was all because of the anti brown and blackness in the current Eygptian society. You have dark brown Eygptians in Eygpt today like I said...why does Eygpt have no problem when they get excluded in film?
