Why is there a PREDYNASTIC and an EARLY DYNASTIC period to Egyptian History, instead of just Old, Middle & New? Why is the southern part of Egypt referred to as "Upper Egypt", and vice versa? Who was Imhotep, and what made him so special? Explain the similarities and differences between the ziggurat of Saqqara versus those in Mesopotamia. How did the Egyptians' belief in afterlife affect the creation of the pyramids? Egyptian architectural history seems preoccupied with tombs and burial. What are the chief concerns of Mesopotamian architecture? Looking at the statues of Khafra and Menkaure, describe what the ideal Old Kingdom Ruler should look like. What made Amenhotep IV's (New Dynasty) religion so different than anything before it?
