I heartily endorse and agree with Albion’s thanks to SunkenCiv! Your articles are most enjoyable and enlightening, plus they are usually on topics I wouldn’t explore by myself.

This one is astonishing. I had no idea that the Egyptians of that era were such accomplished painters.

People think that the iconic paintings, engravings, etc. of the ancient Egyptians show the extent of their knowledge and ability regarding representational art. But most of what has come down to us is religious, and highly stylized and hieratic — had to be done according to rigid rules.

It doesn’t mean that it’s all they knew how to do.

The Egyptians were quite advanced.

They even had strippers and horus.
