Romans, Greeks and Egyptians don't share anything with Indo-European people since they are not Indo-Europeans just like Egyptians.
The Egyptian religion is not Indo-European, but it has influences of its religion as the archetype of the Hero and the Dragon (Ra and Apep) due to the strong presence of the Caucasian race in that area ...

The original Romans did not descend from the original inhabitants of the Italian soil, but from the Italics (or Italians, or Italians, or as you like to call them) and certainly also from Illyrian groups, that is, "Indo-European" invaders that entered Italy. from the North, coming from what is now the South of Germany. As for its previous location, the theory that has convinced me most for its coherence, is that the ancestors of the Aryan tribe that would later be known as "Italics", comes from what is now Norway. In this, I rely on what the Italian Adriano Romualdi wrote in his work "The Indo-Europeans."

These primitive invaders, from which descended the Latins (who were the most influential, and who ended up giving their language to the Empire), the Sabines (considered by Plutarch "a colony of the Lacedaemonians" -the Spartans), the Shady, the Samnites and all the patrician clans that founded Rome and the Republic, were mostly Aryans, and also constituted the foundation of the political and military elite of the Empire.

However, in later Rome, these groups formed an aristocratic minority, dominating a plebe that was of pre-Aryan or Mediterranean origin and, later, even Semitic and black slaves. There was a hodgepodge between all these groups. Over time, the numbers of the dominant Aryan breed withered. And with them, his strong patriarchal influence, sober and authoritarian, faded in favor of the dissolution of the Empire, expressed in its cosmopolitanism, its multiculturalism and its proliferation of slaves, particularly non-Aryans.

As for the Greeks, more of the same, depends on what we understand by "Greeks". The founders of classical Greek culture (and pre-classical, Homeric or Mycenaean), as well as the later dominant and active aristocracy of Greece, did not descend from the original inhabitants of the Greek soil, but from the Hellenes (and perhaps from some groups Illyrians, confederate with them), that is, "Indo-European" invaders that entered Greece from the North, coming from the Balkans. These invaders, of which descended, among others, the Achaeans (Mycenaean civilization and "Homeric" Greece), the Ionians (Athenians), the Dorians (Spartans), the Thessalians (Thebans) and the Macedonians (Alexander the Great), were predominantly Aryan.

If in the case of the Romans, there a strong presence of Aryan blood is evident in its upper social strata, especially during the Republic, in the case of the Hellenes, the taste for beauty and health, and its relation to the Aryan aspect , with the high stature, with the divine inheritance and with the noble birth, infest absolutely all his civilization, his culture, his literature, his mythology and his poetry. It was a world where the oriental slaves had no place but at the bottom of the social pyramid.
In the whole of the population of Greece, I do not believe that the Aryans never predominated. They may have constituted more than a third of the total population after the second Hellenic wave (the one that brought the Dorians). In any case, despite being in a minority, they were the architects of the polis (city-states), culture, art and Greek civilization, while the rest of the population formed a mob that had little to see in the Hellenic culture as we know it today.
