I know that there are different historical periods of art in which certain styles come in and out of popularity, but why does it seem like all ancient Egyptian art is done in the exact same style for all of its history?

Because it served as a communication method more than as art.. Ask yourself why all English books are written in the same language and look mostly the same. The writings (hieroglyphics) were to preserve their history and beliefs, it just looks like art to people who don’t understand it. Same way Chinese or Japanese symbols look more like art than a language.
