Egyptian Art And Architecture


            
             There are many different kinds of art and architecture that have been made by different civilizations. Some of this art have been retrieved and put into exhibits in museums to help people further understand these works of art. One civilization that stands out very much is the Egyptian civilization. This civilization has had many works of art being observed and studied by many archeologists. Many of the works of art were made by the Egyptians for the purpose of their religion and culture. These works helped the Egyptian culture in many ways. For example, when a king or a person of high regard would die, this person was mummified. Mummification is considered to be a work of art. This would help to preserve the body of this person.
             For many years, archeologists have been searching throughout the region of Egypt to find and study these works of art and architecture. Because this was an ancient civilization, many archeologists must dig up old ruins or search through pyramids to find different works of art to further understand this culture. The Great Pyramids are one of the many forms of architecture that are highly recognized throughout the world. Although these large structures look simple, these pyramids are a very complex work of architecture. These pyramids were used to bury kings, queens, or people of high standards.

             The tombs of the Egyptians were not only used to protect a corpse from being desecrated but also for being put there with their material belongings. Egyptians believed there is an afterlife in which they would be able to take all their belongings. These tombs were homes to these deceased Egyptians. These homes would be decorated with different symbolic pictures that would represent the afterlife and earthly dwellings.
             These tombs were made from unbaked mud brick and stone. Although they were built right, many of the towns and pyramids of the Egyptians have been lost because of were they were built.
