 Le Mastaba

Inside Drawing

 The Mastaba was made by Imhotep who happened to be the first Egyptian to build structures. Mastabas were made out of limestone.


 a little interesting History...
The Egyptians were know for their belief in an afterlife. This was reflected in their architecture and mostly by the enormous amounts of time, money, and manpower involved in the building of their tombs. Egyptians believed that the soul could live only if the body was properly preserved. Initially embalming methods were used, and later architectural tombs were devised to preserve the corpse indefinitely. The body would be placed in a deep, sealed chamber such as a Mastaba.  In order to preserve the remains, the ancient Egyptian priests had to devise a system of artificial mummification.

Moving on to the great pyrimid of Khufu, 

The Giza

 

These pyramids are known to be the oldest of them all! Also one of the Oldest seven wonders of the world!

It is thought that, at construction, the Great Pyramid was originally 280 Egyptian cubits tall, 146.5 meters (480.6 ft) but with erosion and absence of its pyramid-ion, its present height is 138.8 meters (455.4 ft). Each base side was 440 cubits, 230.4 meters (755.9 ft) long. The mass of the pyramid is estimated at 5.9 million tonnes. The volume, including an internal hillock, is roughly 2,500,000 cubic meters. Based on these estimates, building this in 20 years would involve installing approximately 800 tonnes of stone every day. If your Interested in learning more Click me and ill take you there!

statues from the front view

The ABU Simbel
This enormous statue was built for Romses the Second. This statue was carved from living rock! There was not a meaningful purpose but to make the front of the temple look good. In this picture you can see small statues by his legs, those are small statues of his Wife.

KING TUT

Mummy (KING TUT)

A look inside the tomb

This was one of the most famous architects found. It was so famous because the tomb was so preserved and the architects inside were in great shape and untouched.



The great, and beautiful,

Nefertiti 

The Bust

A artist view on how they believe she looked

Nefertiti wasnt only famous for her great beauty but for her title as Queen of the Sun-cult.

Egyptian Drawings

The Egyptians had an odd was of drawing their people. Though some may say the proportion is pretty close to accurate, can you see whats not? Facing the front is their shoulders and hands, facing sideways is their eyes, legs, and face.
