Art, Ancient Egyot ANCIENT EGYPT Many of the artworks of Ancient Egypt indicate that it was a culture whose people were highly religious and who believed strongly in an afterlife. The artworks that will be discussed in this essay (that range from paintings, to sculpture, to architecture) are related to the religious beliefs of the people, farming or to glorifying their gods and kings, as documentation from the remains suggest. I have used texts as outlined in the bibliography as reference to the subjects discussed. Most of the examples used are from paintings, hieroglyphics, sculptures and the buildings themselves that come from the remains of the tombs, pyramids and temples, where I believe most of the information about the ancient society that we know today comes from. Egypt is known as a land of the pyramids. Pyramids are remote and mysterious mountains of stone that were built as burial chambers, believed to help the kings into the afterlife. They indicate a land that was so organized that it was possible to pile up the gigantic structures in the lifetime of a king. They also tell us of kings who were so powerful that they could force thousands of workers to toil for them for years egyptian, pyramids, body, ancient, society, wore, women, people, men, wealthy, very, tombs, sculptures, king, jewellery, inside, head, found, egyptians, burial, believed, world, tomb, temples, soul, seen, made, hieroglyphics, help, egypt, built, belief, art, appearance, afterlife
