Where did you get that? I doubt the Egyptians were in any way related to Indo-Europeans until the advent of the Sea-peoples (after the collapse of Mycenae in 1200 BC) and then, majorly, under the Greeks and Romans.
The earlier pictographs show a people who are definitely not Nordic (very, very definitely) -- they may have been related to pre-Indo-European Mediterranean and Caucasus peoples and they were definitely related to the Amorite Semites (we do know about Abraham travelling to Egypt around 2000 B.C.) They did have interactions with the Ethiopians and Nubians.

Agriculture appears to have been developed in southwest Asia, probably Mesopotamia. It would not be unlikely for Caucasian agriculturalists to spread out from there, across the Fertile Crescent, down the Levant, and down into Egypt and North Africa, displacing any black hunter/gatherer inhabitants who might have been there earlier.
