Hieroglyphs and Tomb Paintings
A lot of what
we know about the Ancient Egyptians comes from their
art.
A lot of their
artwork was based on their religion.
Tombs of the
Pharaohs were filled with wall paintings and sculptures.
The paintings
were there to help the Pharaoh in the afterlife.
Many of the
paintings survived for thousands of years and we enjoyed
looking at them so much, that we
decided to draw some of our own.
We drew our
pictures on papyrus.
We also wrote
our names in Hieroglyphs as the scribes did in Ancient
Egypt.
