Egyptian pyramids

The Funerary Mask of King Tutankhamun Ever heard the phrase Kings never die, well neither do Pharaohs. For year’s archeologist have been discovering tombs of pharaohs and their families trying to get an understanding of who they were. Many tombs of the pharaohs were ravaged through and amazing art was taken by tomb robbers but still they were able to find beautiful works of art and even funeral masks. Arguably the most famous mask to date is King Tutankhamun. Along with the mask there were many…

Mexico is a wonderful and beautiful place to be,in my opinion. In mexico I plan to see the Mayan ruin and gather information about them. Also it would be great to see the main Mayan temple. The Mayan temples are one of the best built pyramids I have seen other than the Pyramids of Giza. Egypt is a dry and hot desert with very little vegetation from the way I pictured it. Egypt is one of my favorite places to go because I would like…

The initial idea of the architectural concept began from the square shape, which is found in the views and plans in the Tafresh architecture. Then all sizes and slabs were designed on the plan and faces and squared volume to provide the basis for the design of a doctor's memorabilia. By creating a level difference between square platforms with an area of 400 square meters and space, we tried to turn the steep slope of the site into an opportunity for visitors to be able to calmly access the…

jewelry would have colored glazes. The scribes were the few people in ancient Egypt who could read and write. It was a really hard job because there were hundreds of different hieroglyphs to remember. A scribe would write about the daily lives of the Egyptians and anything that was remarkable that was happening in ancient Egypt. They would write letters for the people who didn’t know how to write. They also would record the amount of crops harvested, and how much food the tomb workers…

The Egyptians practiced the art of mummifying their dead for 3,000 years or more in the belief that the soul would be reunited with the body in the afterlife, so the body had to be kept intact. A mummy is a dead body in which some of the soft tissue has been preserved along with the bones. Usually this means it was specially embalmed or preserved for burial, but sometimes natural conditions alone freeze, dry out, or otherwise prevent the body from decaying by inhibiting the growth of microbes.…

In Egypt in 1327 BCE, there lived a Pharaoh and his wife, they are depicted on King Tutankhamun's throne in what is known simply as Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun. This time period of the New Kingdom is where rulers had come to have the name of a Pharaoh and Tutankhamun’s familial line had regained their power. Tutankhamun and his queen were half-siblings, and it was not uncommon at this time due to a royal bloodline remaining intact. Although they were siblings who shared a father, they loved…

“The class is in the eye of the beholder.” Especially in the book entitled Past Imperfect which follows the lives of rich and powerful people. The book was written by Julian Fellowes. Julian Fellowes was born in Egypt where his father worked in the British Embassy. He grew up in England and attended Cambridge where he enrolled to drama school. He was a “part-time actor for ages” and had appearances for more than 40 movies and TV shows. In the middle for his career in acting, Fellowes…

The first work of art I chose is the Pair of Winged Deities. The works are of Assyrian origin, and were created circa 874 – 860 B.C.E. out of Gypsum. What drew me to these reliefs, and caused me to choose them, is the organized and rigid nature of them. Every detail, be it on the beards, wings, hair, or clothing, is clearly defined by deep indentations of solid, dark lines and curves. Though the faces and bodies are not particularly true to life in their depiction, their stylized nature gives…

people of Egypt adhered to all of the pharaoh’s demands and rules, so at to keep themselves and the nation itself protected from malevolent spiritual forces. The king of Egypt was also believed to act as the embodiment of the god that conceived the Egyptian world, a god of virility (Aldred 1998: 185). This belief of the pharaoh being a reincarnated god of potency is because the king was thought to have controlled the main river through Egypt, the Nile. Without the Nile River, no food would have…
