If you can help me answer these couple of question!! thank you sooo much!
1)Although Pyramids are a distinct symbol of Egypt, large-scale pyramidal construction is limited to a relatively short period in the Old Kingdom of Egyptian history. What do you think is the most compelling reason for the end of their use in tombs? Was it a shift in worshiping the sun cult? A lack of will and funds to create such large-scale projects? An awareness of later pharaohs that their predecessor’s pyramids had been robbed?
2) Compare and contrast the formal and iconographic characteristics of Ti Hunting Hippopotamus and Ashurbanipal Hunting Lions. Identify formal and iconographic characteristics ancient Egyptian art shares with prehistoric Near Eastern images.
