Egyptian Mummy

People really might want to look at something a very long time ago. The way that the tombs and sarcophagus were made and looked like will really draw attention.

In general, the thick curved lines are used to carve the figures of putti, the head of the man and Medusa. However, thin straight lines are used for details on the carvings. Most of the shapes on the Garland Sarcophagus are round and curved, besides the tomb itself is a rectangular shape. As for colour of the marble sculpture, the artist did not use any form of colour, only the natural marble colour.

The texture of the cloth is as hard as a rock because the cloth was made in the 22nd dynasty. The four painted panels are about four feet tall and twelve inches wide. They look freshly painted because when the light hits the oil it makes them sparkle.

Egypt 's Old Kingdom (Dynasties 3–6, ca. 2649–2150 B.C.) was a standout amongst the most element time frames in the improvement of Egyptian workmanship.

My research topic is going to be about the symbolism of funerary art among the Etruscan, Egyptian, and Christians and how this played a role towards their views of the afterlife. These different cultures honored and took care of their dead in distinctive ways depending on who the dead were.

The place where there is pyramids and puissant progress, Egypt has dependably been a place where there is puzzle. The antiquated Egyptian human advancement had been a habitation outlandish occasions and one such occasion is as yet discombobulating researchers and laymen similarly and bringing forth open deliberations and exchanges. The occasion was none other than the passing of the youthful pharaoh, Tutankhamen. Still now extraordinary hypotheses are being sent to settle the secret abaft the passing of Tutankhamen.

The egyptians had felt that whatever was buried with, in, or around their tomb would be brought with them when they died.

For many generations, various cultures have used tombs to represent a person’s afterlife, but the Han Dynasty revolutionized the creations that the deceased took with them in their eternal life. Tomb furniture provided insight into the art, culture and daily life of the Han Dynasty. Tomb furniture began with simple elements such as wooden items and pottery but throughout time, the tomb furniture became more elaborate and decorative to represent the growth of wealth and status of the Han Dynasty elite. The Han Dynasty valued the respect and care of one’s parents, “filial piety” (Qian, 2018). Researchers believed that the uprising of the illustrations carved in tombs was because of how important it was to respect the ethics of one’s kingdom.

At the time of the discovery of the tomb, science was not as advanced, so the propagation of the idea that he was murdered lasted a long time. As technology advanced, researchers took another look at the mummy. Molecular Egyptology is ushering in a whole new study of ancient Egypt and the family relationships as well as the afflictions of King Tutankhamun and his

People from around the world have had the great debate on if ancient artifacts from around the world should be returned to their original country, or if they should stay where they are to preserve the artifact.

In the passage “Bring Them Home,” they are arguing that the artifacts should be brought home to their original country and in the passage “Museums Preserve the Cultures of the World,” they talk about how these ancient artifacts should stay where they are to preserve the artifacts. These passages show the different side of the argument, but the passage “Museums Preserve the Cultures of the World,” makes the most sense in this debate. Museums hold some of the most important cultural artifacts in all of time and should stay where they rest instead of trying to move them to their home countries where they could be damaged on the move.
