How is that one wave?
Even in the past 2000 years there were huge demographic changes in Egypt, the Egyptians today are not an entirely good representation of Egypt even 2000 years ago during the Coptic period.
The changes in skin tone, physique and facial characteristics in Egyptian art are quite interesting to see and they represent the changes in the ethnic and demographic makeup of the civilization.
For example late period mummies and portraits show the outcome of genetic influx from Hellenic and Roman cultures into Egypt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayum_mummy_portraits, this is even more interesting since Faiyum is quite far from the coast line which shows that demographic changes spanned the geography of egypt.
