Haley Frye Mr. Burr AP World History 21 September 2017 Artistry In Ancient Egypt Many people are familiar with the pyramids and tombs of Ancient Egypt, yet not as many know about the different types of art created by the lower classes. Documentaries, movies, and television shows rarely mention the more standard art that was created, that didn’t take years of hard labor to create. This art can be compared to the drawings that many people make today, as a hobby to do in their freetime. The only difference
What was life like prior to civilization? Why did nomadic people not need laws but Mesopotamians did? Was the first code of laws and leaderships the most justifiable way to move a civilization towards a permeant settlement? Before erecting and forever placing society into what it is today, there was no known leaders or true since of morality. Why was the “creation” of a leader needed for a society?

Located in Egypt, the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria is the largest Christian group in Egypt, but is still the minority among other belief systems in their country. In 2012, a shockingly low ten percent of Egypt’s total of 80 million people belonged to this specific church. Saint Mark established the Coptic Christian church in the First Century, during the rule of Claudius and the basis of the religion is of his teachings.

Jewish apocalyptic literature (Parrott, 67). There has been much debate about the effect of redactors on this text, so there has been a claim that the 13 kingdoms section was added in later by an editor (ibid). The text recovered is in Coptic, the common language around Nag Hammadi, Egypt at that time. However, much of the text is not readable, with tops or bottoms of pages missing. Therefore, there has been a lot of reconstruction of the text, but there are still places in which lacunae have been
At this point Egypt was now a province of Persia, and paying taxes or tribute to the king. A king who was not even truly there’s. The new administration system was pushing for old traditional languages to be stopped and for everyone to use Aramaic as the new official language. The Egyptians could not fight off the Persians, and in 341BC after 63 years of fighting to gain full power the Persians finally succeeded. Gaining full power over Egypt.

Life has a lot of aspects that we have to adapt to whether we accept those facts or not. Egypt’s culture, religious beliefs, and manly society puzzled the lives of women by sexually harassing them and limited the Egyptians’ freedom to express their opinions. Sexual harassment is not a new phenomenon in Egypt, but has been increasing, especially after January the 25th revolution. “99.3% of the Egyptian women have been subjected to sexual harassment either at work, public transportations, or in streets”

There are many characteristics that help to differentiate between stelae from the Middle Kingdom, and stelae from the New Kingdom. By looking at the shape, size, and medium of a stela, an individual should have a good idea on what kingdom it was from.

the Coptic Orthodox Church, which has a rich history and tradition, the foundation roots are based in Egypt. The Coptic Church was established by Saint Mark in the middle of the 1st century, which is now more than nineteen centuries old, was the subject of many prophecies in the Old Testament.

God, of course, is responsible for these creations as He is the one who blessed mankind with such imagination and creativity. Some of these amazing pieces of history include the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, and the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus.
