During the prehistoric period, early humans transitioned from nomadic lifestyles to more permanent settlements, leading to early civilizations. Artworks from this era provide glimpses into their beliefs, practices, and daily lives. One civilization where art flourished was ancient Egypt across its Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. Egyptian art focused on religious and spiritual themes, as seen in pieces like the Narmer Palette, Great Pyramids of Giza, and later naturalistic busts of Nefertiti and King Tutankhamun. These artworks offer insights into past cultures and their influence on modern society.
