Egyptian Architecture During the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the changes in Egyptian architecture during the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms. During the Old Kingdom in Egypt an enormous amount of royal architectural triumphs were built including the great pyramids at Giza. The architecture of Egypt seems mostly to reflect the strength of the kingdoms at the time. The start of the Old Kingdom was the first dynasty (the Third Dynasty) to see the unification of the country under one monarch. This time also saw a great amount of prosperity. The kings during this period were equal to the gods and the monuments which were erected symbolized this. The tombs which existed during the first and second dynasties were eventually out built by first the step pyramids and then the geometric pyramids which are still considered wonders of the world today. The times during the Middle and New Kingdoms were somewhat more unstable and the kings did not have complete sovereignty over the land and the sizes of the monuments also diminished. During the Middle Kingdom elaborate temples were erected for the various cults of the gods. During the time of the Warrior Kings and the Ramses in the New Kingdom, the kings were considered powerful and many monuments and temples were erected to honor them however they were not equated with the gods and never received god-like structures comparable with the pyramids.

Elephants, Rhinos, Kob Antelope, Leopards And Buffalo: Meaning In African Art
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Animal likenesses in African art have historically reflected a much more figurative meaning rather than what might be otherwise construed as a literal reference; that ancient cultures were infinitely more attuned to the wholeness of nature in their daily existence speaks to the interwoven connectivity they felt with the spirits of animals. As such, these beautiful creatures were routinely used as symbols of such cultural aspects as spiritual links (communicating with the gods), social needs (asking for a prosperous hunt) or fertility. Of the myriad animals depicted in masks, dances, paintings and other artistic outlets, the most prominent include elephants, rhinos, kob antelope, leopards and buffalo. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
