6. Pyramids- What/Who: The Pyramids are tombs for the Pharos and also represented there symbol of authority. Egyptians believed that part of the "Soul" remained in the body and in order for it to be set in the afterlife they mummified the body. Placing it in a pyramid addition to gifts so the king could live a glorious life after death.
The head crown she is wearing makes her look a lot more akin to many previous pharaohs and likewise the false beard also helps maintain to this image along with a masculine
Statuettes, for example, this one where basic offerings to the divine beings in the late Egyptian world. Travelers regularly bought them from nearby sellers to leave as votives at religious locales. This sample delineates Osiris, divine force of the dead and image of resurrection. He wears the atef crown (a tall cap encompassed by upright quills), a mummy cover and neckline, and holds the evildoer and thrash, the badge of a united Egypt. Beside the pyramids, mummies and their pine boxes are the articles most connected with old Egypt.
This artifact was most likely created during 661-332 BCE, which is called the late period of ancient Egypt. During the late period Alexander the Great’s conquest and the establishment of the Ptolemaic Kingdom ended the long reign of various native egyptian rulers and instead allowed foreigners to rule the country. Even though foreigners ruled the country during this time, Egyptian culture was still very prevalent, and traditional conventions were still widely celebrated. Also, most artwork during this time was mostly of animal cults and animal mummies. Ancient Egyptian
World War I was an exponentially increasing war in tragedy and death. It established the positions of each imperial power and how they stand amongst others in battle. The events leading up to the war cannot compare to those that occurred during and even after this horrific war. However, it was truly the conditions of WW1 that fueled the entrance of the United States into WW1. The United States was justified entering World War I on the side of the Allies in 1917 due to three fundamental conditions: the type of government, the alliance system, and militarism.
The museums had very intriguing artifacts to look at, I was mesmerized by all the different cultural and religious artifacts I viewed. After viewing all the exhibitions, I liked the Greek Mythology section the most because of the different statues and pottery, most of the exhibition was mostly either of paintings or jewelries. The Greek Mythology had statutes of almost very god/goddess and what represents them. The artifact I chose is called Terracotta Bell-Krater (bowl for mixing wine and water). This artifact was located on the first floor of the museum, and there is other type of vases and Greek artifacts around it including statues of Greek Gods.
The body is a combination of a bird’s wing and bull’s body. In this statue, only one wing is visible, which spring out from the shoulder, curving out from the back, and it covers the breast and part of the belly. The wing signifies the flying capability and the speed of a bird; it may also represent an eagle using its broad wings, which show power and wisdom. It extends above the body reaching all the way to the rear of the sculpture. These features show the king 's power to his visitors even before meeting him.
Historian Marc van de Mieroop reveals the conventional view of Hatshepsut when he states how she "has become one of the most celebrated and controversial women of Egypt and the ancient world in general.” Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh to rule in the early period of the New Kingdom Egypt in the 18th dynasty, which developed into the most prosperous period of Egyptian history. She climbed from regent to co-regent, using her cunning schemes and manipulation, fighting to defend the legitimacy of her rule through social structure, religion, building programs and the economic structure. All contributed to the legitimacy of her reign and legacy, which were supposedly erased by Thutmose III, thus attributing to the minor evidence of her personal
Sphinx of Hatshepsut First association with the Egyptian culture for me is related to Sphinx. That’s why first what caught my eyes was Sphinx of Hatshepsut. No, of course, it is not that massive Great Sphinx in Giza, Egypt but his history is also interesting. This item is a sphynx of Pharaoh Hatshepsut with a human head and lion’s body.
While Greek has many interesting monsters, the Sphinx is the most intriguing. Nobody knows for a fact who the parents of Sphinx were, but she is a female monster, with a body of a lion, head and breasts of a woman, eagle wings, and serpent-headed tail. Greek Gods sent the Sphinx to the town of Thebes to plague it; while there, she brought terror, bad luck and death to the whole town, however, she mostly preyed on the youth. She stopped all travelers who crossed her path and presented them with a riddle, if they failed her riddle then she would eat them; (now it is easier to understand how Sphinx brought so much death to the town of Thebes). However, one day Oidipous solved her riddle and she threw herself off a mountainside in despair, therefore
He is also shown wearing the Pshent crown which is a symbol of a unified Egypt, it represents both the Upper and Lower parts of Egypt. Atum is also known to be the god of Pharaohs. In the old Egyptian culture, they believed that certain animals hold the spirit of the gods in them; this is why Atum is often depicted as having a falcons head and a scarab beetle symbol. One of the only things that distinguishes him from Pharaohs is the shape of his beard. Due to the fact that Atum created his children without a mate his is considered to be a bisexual god known as the “Great
Such as Tutankhamun’s rushed tomb. It was extremely cramped meaning they were forced to cut chunks out of the wall to fit his sarcophagus into the chamber. Within his sarcophagus, (a large stone container that holds Tutankhamun’s coffins,) there are also many other small things we notice that have brought us great suspicion. Much like Tutankhamun’s last coffin which held his mummified body. The coffins face appeared extremely different to any other image of King Tut we have seen before.

The statues were a magic identity-substitute for the dead. The religion of ancient Egypt aimed against death and thus by preserving the flesh and bone they wanted to defeat death and halt the passage of time, for death was the victory of time. For them survival was the practice of embalming the dead corporeal body and it satisfied
