Before any wall project, Egyptians would first plan out what they’re going to be building. They would sketch out their ideas on papyrus paper, using a grid system.

An artist's practice refers to both the conceptual and making processes of an artwork. It examines how the artist develops ideas, concepts and themes through the influence of their global and personal world and other artists and their movements.

Egyptian history moves continually closer to reality as new facts are discovered and new kinds of research-anthropological and other--supplement more traditional archaeological techniques.
