attested.56 The function of Hmt nTr was to perform the same role accomplished by the Hm nTr in the cult of other deities. As mentioned by several scholars, there were two principal classes of priests in the Egyptian priesthood: the Hmw nTr who occupied the higher position and the wabw-priests who were lower in position.57 However, Senbi was a wab aA “great wab-priest.” This title implied a higher rank for its bearer.58 d) Doxey discusses how the epithet imAx(y) xr was used to introduce the name…

beginning of time, art has always been an integral contributor toward recording the history, culture, and traditions of civilizations. Archaeologists have been interpreting the history of civilizations through art, especially sculptures. In ancient Iraq, Mesopotamia, the Sumerians represented their sophisticated relationships between the people and the gods through making clay sculptures (Carr, 2016). While in ancient Egypt, the old kingdom's art was mainly represented in limestone sculptures…

Ptolemaic Egypt is a time richly pigmented with documents, sculptures and artifacts that are being studied today so that their ancient society can be interpreted and hopefully more understood. Although this was a time long, long ago, we have to remember that these were still just human beings. They were very similar to us in that they had a brain, two eyes, and a heart; among many if not all the same organs. They had many social problems that mirror that of today’s society in the case…

Statues Art has many forms. One popular form of art created in ancient times were statues. A statue, as defined by Merriam-Webster (n.d.) as “a three-dimensional representation usually of a person, animal, or mythical being that is produced by sculpturing, modeling, or casting.” Cultures around the world have created statues for many different reasons. Here we will examine two ancient statues, The Royal Aquaintences Memi and Sebu, from ancient Egypt, and the Statue of Gudea, created by the…

Ancient Egyptian Pottery The ancient Egyptians were one of the first civilizations in the world to make pottery. They made these pots (as well as vases, canopic jars, etc...) out of a red-brown clay that was called Nile silt ware. Remember the pottery I am talking about was or the “civilians” of the time, not for royalty. So, it stands to reason that it would look like a regular clay pot/vase and not a glamorous gold one that was put in the tombs of the pharaohs and other royals. This pottery…

Ancient Egypt was one of the world’s most developed civilizations for almost 3,000 years. In fact, four of the world's most important ancient cultures are known as the river civilizations. They were called the river civilizations because of the powerful influence a large river system had on the lives of people. The river system the Egyptians had to live off of was called the Nile River. Vitally important to Ancient Egypt, the Nile River provided significant social, cultural, and economic…

The west part of the United States is truly considered diverse, considering climate and geographical features. As for the former, the types are various: semiarid, mediterranean and desert. This region is a land of scenic beauty with different nature forms, standing out are Rocky Mountains, Mohave Desert and Pacific Ocean. It is probably the reason why the personality of people there also is clearly not similar. Its heterogeneousness makes its social structure complicated and social order…

it is an image of Christianity but also fuse the divine art of stained glass medium that integrated a continuous narrative of Christian stories. In Survey of Western Art I, even though we were lectured that technically the course was a study of history of images and the iconographic meanings of past cultures, I would consider this course truly taught a combination of images and art. That the images are the ideas that is portrayed by art of any medium. Never have I been challenged to question…

of King Narmer from the Egyptians we can see similar traits, yet two different cultures. Africa and Egypt both have differences in beliefs and culture ideals. These palettes reflect their own beliefs and ancient culture by the history, purpose and layout. History can reflect beliefs and ancient culture as seen through the artwork Equestrian Oba and Attendants and Palette of King Narmer. The artwork Equestrian Oba and Attendants Depicts Oba, a king with his attendants dated from 1550-1680…

The Library Of Alexandria was one of the biggest libraries of the Ancient World. The library was introduced in 288 BCE 35 years after Alexander the great died.
