1) In ancient Egypt, pyramids were built for the burial of pharaohs;
2) The tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutonhamun was found intact;
3) In those ancient times, the Egyptians believed in many gods, and therefore, there were many cults, most of which involved a sacrificial offering: food, livestock, etc. There were frequent cases when a person acted as a victim.
4) Egyptian craftsmen followed many rules when creating drawings and sculptures. So, for example, for the image of a person there was such a set of rules:
– Upper body – full face;
– The face and legs were depicted in profile;
– Hips – three quarters full face;
– The eyes are enlarged and accentuated;
– Legs – in motion;
