Hieroglyphics Rosetta Stone allowed us to translate hieroglyphics

Pre-Dynastic Egypt to Early Dynastic 5500 – 3100 BCE

Narmer Palette, BCE, slate. King Narmar depicted as the unifier of Upper and Lower Egypt; king is largest figure (hierarchy of scale); god Hathor (cow with a woman’s head) repeated four times at top; narrative – king asserts rule over lower and upper Egypt; palette used to grind/mix eye make-up to lessen glare from sun; hawk on back symbolizes Horus – god of Egypt

Old Kingdom BCE

Mastaba Plan – Precursor to Pyramids Statue of the deceased holds the Ka and is placed in the serdab (room where Ka resides, not in burial chamber)

Stepped Pyramid of King Djoser (Zoser), c BCE, Saqqara, Egypt First recorded name of an architect/artist – Imhotep; stone; staircase to heaven and sun god, Ra; appears to look like stack of mestabas; solid stone; 204’ high; outer buildings are sham buildings, some with engaged columns; monumental scale; necropolis complex

Khafre, c BCE, diorite. Falcon god, Horus, behind Khafre, symbolizing he is divinely appointed; rigid adherence to Egyptian canon of proportions; symbols of united Egypt at base (lotus and papyrus); idealized features; permanence; no negative space

Seated Scribe, c BCE, limestone, Saqqara. Created for a tomb to hold the Ka; conventional image of a scribe-not a pharaoh; contrasts with idealized figures of pharaohs; flabby folds of skin from sedentary life of a scribe

Ti Watching the Hippopotamus Hunt, c BCE, painted limestone, Tomb of Ti, Saqqara Ti was a government official; river seen from above; hippos and fish seen in profile; stylized oars; hierarchy of scale; boat glides through papyrus; success in hunt is fight against evil (hippos were seen as pests )
