The truth is that most of these people are Greeks of Egypt. Greeks conquered and governed Egypt for centuries. They built a lot of cities-colonies like Alexandria, Arsinoe (Fayum) and many others.
Some other faces are also Greek paintings in Italy (Pompeii).For example:0:11-0:19 Alkaios and Sappho (the great Greek poets)

Yes my friend, but i meant that the painters were Greeks (even in Pompeii). In Roman period a lot of Greek artists,architects,painters,sc­ulptors etc. made public works for Roman Empire.

Greek cities were found many kilometres northern of Rome. For example "Pisa" by Pissates (from pelopponesean area Pissa near Olympia). 500 ancient Greek cities existed from Gela & Syracusai to Pisa. I am archaeologist.

They're Greek and Roman people that moved to Egypt, no different than seeing a portrait of George Washington and saying he was a European who moved to America; technically he is American by nationality, but by genetic background of European ancestry. Do you not believe Romans looked like these people? They did. Many people do not know or believe this because of white supremacy that says Romans or Greeks were "whiter" looking, when they were not.
