History--Egyptian civilization
The document provides an overview of ancient Egyptian civilization, including its surroundings, history, culture, art, and daily life. It describes Egypt's fertile geography along the Nile River which allowed for early settlements. Around 3000 BC, Egypt was unified under its first pharaoh. Egyptian culture was characterized by religious art depicting gods and pharaohs in a highly stylized and symbolic style, using simple lines, shapes, and colors. Materials like stone, copper, gold, and papyrus were widely used.
4 Egyptian Art
Egyptian sculpture made extensive use of sunk relief techniques well-suited for bright sunlight. Standard proportions and conventions were used to depict figures, with rulers often shown as gods through large statues placed in temples and tombs. While monumental sculpture celebrated pharaohs, smaller refined works were more common, and deities were usually depicted in paintings and reliefs. Iconography changed little over the dynasties, except during the Amarna period under Akhenaten, with idealized features enduring until Greek conquest.
