Ancient Egypt1The Civilization of the Nile River V.docx
Ancient Egypt
1
The Civilization of the Nile River Valley: Egypt
Geography – Isolated by deserts on both sides.
The Nile’s periodic flooding made civilized life possible in Egypt. During drought or famine, Egypt was the place to go because Egypt always has water (cf. the story of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis).
The kingdom was divided into two parts: Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt (Upper Egypt is in the south), with Lower Egypt being a bit more cosmopolitan than Upper Egypt.
Unlike Mesopotamia, stone was plentiful.
2
Pre-Dynastic Egypt: There is some evidence that very early on (3400-3200 BC), Egypt was influenced by Mesopotamia (corresponds to Jemnet Nasr period at Uruk). The evidence includes:
the use of rectangular sun-dried mud-brick in building,
the use of cylinder seals only during this time (Egypt usually used stamp-seals before and after this period),
pictographic writing (the “idea” comes from Mesopotamia),
the idea of kingship, social stratification and specialization,
certain kinds of painted pottery,
and pictures of twisted animals and battling with animals.
This contact may explain Egypt’s sudden explosion into a complex, advanced civilization with writing. The use of mud-brick is peculiar, noting the abundance of stone. There is evidence, however, that the development begins in Upper Egypt (i.e., the south). Two distinct cultures, the Upper, with social stratification and royal artistic expression, etc., and the Lower, with contacts in Palestine, etc.
Egypt seems to go from the Neolithic to a complex civilization overnight. Linear development is not apparent. Agriculture appears to be introduced from outside.
The Pharaoh (the king) is somehow responsible for the yearly success of the Nile. His throne was Isis, the wife of Osiris and the mother of Horus. The king is identified with Horus.
Egypt seeks to portray changeless continuity over thousands of years. This is somewhat true, but not entirely accurate. Ancient Egypt went through a few periods of relative chaos or lack of centralized power. Egypt, however, as is well known, chose not to usually record such periods for posterity.

Egyptian history begins with King Narmer
Narmer united Upper and Lower Egypt
He is likely the same person as Menes
Mizraim is often the Hebrew name for Egypt
The combination of the two crowns appears.
This is the beginning of the First Dynasty, and of Egyptian history
He established his capital at the new city of Memphis (= neutral ground)
It was a new city, said to have arisen out of the ground when Narmer diverted the Nile.
The royal burial grounds of Saqqara and Giza are located nearby.
The uniting of Egypt is commemorated on the Palette of King Narmer (fig. 2.3)
Egyptian artistic canon for relief figures is manifested:
head and feet in profile, with one foot forward, but eye and shoulders shown frontally (cf. fig. 2.2)
This is the beginning of Egypt’s Bronze Age
It is also the beginning of Egy.

The document discusses several aspects of ancient Egyptian art and architecture from different periods. It provides examples of:
1) Sunken relief sculptures on columns at Karnak from the New Kingdom period that served structural purposes but were decorated.
2) The Temple of Horus at Edfu from the Ptolemaic period that followed the basic architectural scheme from over 1,000 years earlier, demonstrating Egyptian traditions.
3) Block statues from the Middle and New Kingdoms that simplified human forms to provide an eternal home for the soul in stone.
Ancient Egypt-The Great Pyramid Of Giza
The document provides background information on the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. It discusses how early pharaohs such as Djoser, Snefru, and Khufu built increasingly large pyramids and monuments to display their power and honor the gods. The innovations created in constructing the largest pyramid, the Great Pyramid of Giza, are then examined. The document explores the architectural developments from the early mastabas and step pyramids that paved the way for the Great Pyramid's iconic triangular shape.
Egyptian Legend Of The Sphinx
Here are the key points about Greek artifacts:
- Museums acquire artifacts through purchases or donations from other countries and private owners.
- Some artifacts were stolen or taken without proper permission in the past, which some countries now want returned.
- International laws and guidelines govern the transfer and ownership of cultural artifacts between countries.
- While artifacts provide cultural learning when displayed worldwide, some believe important relics belong in their nation of origin.
- The origins and ownership history of artifacts are important topics of discussion regarding cultural heritage and national pride.
- Museums play a role in both preserving history for all and respecting the claims of origin cultures over significant artifacts.

Egyptian Arts
The document summarizes ancient Egyptian arts and architecture from 5000 BC to 30 BC. It describes how early Predynastic Egyptians began creating art using materials like bone, clay and ivory. During the Dynastic period, important buildings constructed included temples to worship gods, royal tombs, and palaces for kings. Temples, tombs and statues were decorated with painted reliefs and scenes to ensure the deceased's safe passage. Architecture evolved from early step pyramids to structures like the Great Pyramids and temples built by pharaohs like Ramses II and Hatshepsut at Luxor.
Ancient Egypt
The document provides an overview of ancient Egyptian art from the Early Dynastic Period through the Ptolemaic Period. Some key points include: Egyptians built elaborate tombs for kings and queens containing mummified remains and objects for the afterlife; the stepped pyramid of Djoser was an early form that evolved into the iconic Great Pyramids of Giza; other important artistic works include the funerary mask of Tutankhamun, Nefertiti bust, and the Rosetta Stone which helped decode hieroglyphics.
LU 4 Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egyptian civilization lasted over 3000 years, showing incredible continuity and consistency. Egyptian imagery, concepts, and perspectives have had immense influence on later cultures, providing building blocks for Greek and Roman culture and influencing the Western tradition. The annual flooding of the Nile river shaped Egyptian culture, creating fertile land and influencing their concept of cyclical time. Egyptian art styles and royal imagery remained remarkably consistent over millennia, which Egyptians viewed as representing stability and the correctness of their culture.
