Ancient Egyptians and Greeks created sculptures for different purposes and using different materials. Egyptians built sculptures to accompany wealthy individuals in the afterlife, often creating tomb sculptures to hold bodies. They commonly used painted wood, limestone, and sandstone but later used gold and bronze. Greeks mainly used durable marble and bronze for sculptures honoring leaders and gods, also creating mythical sculptures combining animal features. Both civilizations made sculptures representing rulers and deities as well as the Sphinx, though Egyptian versions were larger.
