ThE ArT of ThiS CulturE

Egyptian Art~

The art of this culture, like many others, tells us their story. When we think of Egyptians we think of mysterious people with built huge pyramids and were obsessed with cats. However, if you look closely at the art they created in that time, it will reveal things about their culture. They tell us of a land which was so organized that they were able to pile up these gigantic mounds in the lifetime of a single king, and they tell us of kings who were so rich and powerful that they could force thousands and thousands of slaves to build for them, to quarry the stones, to drag them to where it was to be built at, and to shift them precisely so the tomb was ready for the king. No other culture would have went through so much just to please their king. To the Egyptains there king was their God. He came from the heavens when he was born and returned their after his death. The pyramids were meant to help him to return. He had complete power over them and swayed them to do his will.
