From 1828-29, a Franco-Tuscan team of artists, architects, engineers and naturalists was sent to Egypt on an expedition headed by French Egyptologist and decipherer of hieroglyphs Jean-Francois Champollion, in collaboration with Italian Ippolito Rossellini.
Nearly 1,400 drawings and watercolors of ancient Egyptian scenes from monuments across Egypt exist in a portfolio prepared by the expedition and currently housed at the Library of the University of Pisa.
For the first time, this priceless collection of copies from original paintings and bas-reliefs, many of them now deteriorated or missing, will be exhibited in Cairo from January 26 to the end of February. (past)

The flesh tones of the men who wear the patented Ta-Seti briefs is obviously wrong. The artist wanted to paint all the subjects as "enslaved Hebrews making bricks" per Exodus.
Rosellini's artists even got the clothes colors wrong.
The men with the dark leather briefs are Nehesu. The white loin-clothed fellows are Aamu. The rest are their Romitu supervisors.
Above: a more accurate painting not trying to do the Bible Below: nothing beats the accuracy of an actual tomb wall photo

So what was this multi racial work crew working on and where? Were they slaves?

What multi-racial crew? I see only one race there, the human race.
They're working on a construction site in Karnak's Amen Temple precinct and most likely are prisoners of war. POWs were commonly assigned to temples. Again, read Diop on nationalized populations in AE (clickable link).

As anyone can see the only one racializing here and in all the other threads is the lying idiot! SHE always mentions 'race' even though we told her that scientifically it doesn't exist. And when we affirm the FACT that the Egyptians are black Africans she accuses us of racialism even though 'black' is not a race but a color label and African is a geographic label. But of course this thread created by Lyingass dummy is nothing more than a bait that ended up in her failure.
