In Ancient Egypt there were many Kings, Pharaohs, and Gods that played big roles throughout history. Throughout this museum you will see a stretch of Ancient Egyptian history with fascinating artwork that makes it easy to get more in depth. The Pharaohs in The Old Kingdom were seen as the most powerful beings and they were the ones in charge of weather, fertility, and agriculture. They were portrayed as a younger this was to help the Pharaohs signify good fertility and power. Since the Pharaoh was the most important person in the Old Kingdom artists would make them pop out in their artwork, while everything else was carved back farther. These was called relief sculptures. When the Old Kingdom came to an end history became known as the Middle

It was found in the Old Kingdom around c.3100 BCE. The Pallet is made out local dark grey wacky, which is a kind of stone. The pallet was significant because Narmer was the first person who created a unified version of Egypt. It is an ancient artifact in this museum because it signifies how Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt became Egypt as a whole. The portrait head of Nefertiti is another artifact that is important in Ancient Egypt. It was found in the Amarna period (1352-1336). It is made out of plaster. Nefertiti’s portrait signifies family values in the Amarna period. She was very loved by many people especially Akhenaten. It is an important artifact in the museum because the Amarna period was a time when family values were portrayed and helped create a view of what women should look like in the years to come.
The Hippopotamus is an important artifact from the Middle Kingdom (2181-1650). The hippopotamus is made out of faience.

Artifacts that were from the same time frame are going to be on the walls right next to each other. That way when walking through the museum it will be like taking a walk through history. I will make sure it is interesting to the visitors who will come to my museum by making sure to be creative with the way things will be explained. On the floor I will have little footprints that make the visitors want to “walk like an Egyptian”. As the visitors go through the museum there will be little areas that will have artificial products that they can dig up and find themselves. There will be little ramps that make the visitors walk up a little each time they pass a different part in history. Meaning the building itself will be a pyramid. There will be three long ramps for the Old, Middle, New kingdom, and shorter ramps for the time frames in between. For the artifacts I will tell stories about how they are all significant. The Pallet of Narmer, because Narmer was the first person to unify Egypt. Or a statue of a hippopotamus from the middle kingdom, that meant chaos. It was the Pharaohs duty to return the land back from chaos. I used The Great Pyramid as one of my main architecture. It is an amazing piece of artwork that still is a mystery worth deciphering. The statue of King Tutankhanen is in this museum because he was the youngest pharaoh and he died young. Which made people more
