The majority of Egyptian sculptures were all in the same style, regardless of whether they represented an animal-headed god, a king, or a scribe. The typical pose was frontal and standing, with the arms hanging close to the body, the hands with clenched fists, the left foot slightly advanced, and an ambiguous facial expression. It must be noted that this “typical Egyptian style” is much more a product of the Egyptian belief system and its associated symbology than the artistic imagination or technical competence of Egyptian artisans (ibid., [YOUR LAST NAME] 2 88). The influence of this Egyptian style can be seen on some of the earliest Greek sculptures, particularly those of two important Greek styles. The first of these is the kouros, a figure of a young nude male and the second is the kore, a figure of a young clothed female (Richter, 102-106).
The buildings of the central government were typically open-air temples constructed of wood or sandstone. The earliest hieroglyphs appear just before this period, though little is known of the spoken language they represent. In about 3600 BC, Egyptian society along the Nile River began to grow and advance rapidly toward civilization. [2] A new and distinctive pottery, which was related to the pottery of the Southern Levant, appeared during this time. Extensive use of copper became common during this time.
The Unique Culture of Egypt While the Sumerian civilization was developing, a similar process took place along the banks of the Nile River. Yet, the two civilization’s culture was very different. Egypt was united into a single kingdom, which allowed it to enjoy a high degree of unity, stability, and culture continuality over a period of 3,000 years. The geography, writing, architectural structures, society, and their process of mummification made the Egyptian culture unique compared to the other civilizations of the time. The Ancient Egyptians thought of Egypt as being divided into two types of land, the “black land” and the “red land.
Over the past years, Egypt developed drastically through their achievements. Egyptians believed kings ruled after death. They built pyramids as a resting place for an Egyptian king. The Egyptians also developed a writing system that could still be understood today, Hieroglyphics. They used Hieroglyphics to represent ideas and sounds.

They were paid more and were highly educated compared to everyone else in Egypt except the Pharaohs and other Scribes. There are very famous and special areas inside these temples. One of which is Hypostyle Hall which is a hall inside of the Karnak Temple, Hypostyle Hall is a hall with Hieroglyphics everywhere and was made by Ramses. A very interesting fact about the Karnak temple is that it is very religious. It is in fact the largest religious area in ancient Egypt.
The royal Egyptian art was mostly crafted in a two dimensional twisted perspective. delicate patterns and symbols were used all over the pallete, statues and scupltures. Every little details on the artworks have their own meanings such as the god and godess, the ancester of the pharaohs. Animals like bulls, lions and cats are widely used to symbolize sacred deities. The art were mostly preserved very well due to the materials used were meant to last.
HISTORICAL PROGRESSION As the word itself implies, civilization starts when mankind started to establish settling units, called ‘cities’ and adopted a new way of living in those places. The history of the first cities in Anatolia dates back to years 7.000 BC. The excavations in the Hacilar Tumulus (near today’s Burdur in Mediteranian region of Turkey) have shown that the civilization in this place is even older than Mesopotamia. Among the historians, it is a generally accepted fact that during the Neolithic and Khalkolithic ages, this region was the most developed region of the world. Then, starting with the years of 3.000 BC, Mesopotamia and Egypt, with the effect of inventing and using the alphabet, made big progress in trade activities and succeeded to go ahead of Anatolia.

Carlos Sambrano Greek Architecture Greek architecture changed and influenced a lot of the architecture of today. The ancient Classical eras of Greece were undoubtedly one of the most beautiful, having left behind ideas, concepts, and art that created the foundation of what we call “western civilization”. However, the two previous millennia that lead to these ancient eras, as well as the other two millennia that succeeded them are all part of the history of Greece and have left just as rich a cultural footprint. Doric The Doric style is sturdy and its top is plain. This style was mostly used in mainland Greece and in southern Italy and Sicily.
