That painting depicts egyptians as being brown skinned or tanned, different from Nubians (who are shown being very dark), Berbers and Middle Eastern (who are shown being light). They were probably a mixture of these ethnicities. Even their language was afro-asiatic, denoting an influence from these groups mentioned before (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_language):
Of the language families included in the Afroasiatic phylum, Egyptian shows the most affinities to theCushitic, Semitic, and Berber families.[5]
Nubians and ancient egyptians were different: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nubia#Nubia_and_Ancient_Egypt)
Ancient egyptians probably looked like what modern egyptians look today. They are ultimately a north african people, and should be treated as such: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Africa
The distinction between Northern Africa and the rest of Africa is historically and ecologically significant because of the effective barrier created by the Sahara. Throughout history this barrier has culturally separated the North from the rest of Africa and, as the seafaring civilizations of the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and others facilitated communication and migration across the Mediterranean, the cultures of North Africa became much more closely tied to Southwestern Asia and Europe than Sub-Saharan Africa. The Islamic influence in the area is significant, and North Africa, along with the Middle East, is a major part of the Arab World.
