Egypt Exhibit information.

Photo on 3-7-14 at 11.25 AMI loved learning about Egyptian Writing. The modern language is Arabic, but they make their language according to the  sounds of the english alphabet. The Louts flower is a very common symbol that a lot of people used in their writing. Paparis is a type of paper that they used to wright. The ancient language is hieroglyphs and it was written in columns and has a ton of sines. They also had scribes and they were mainly men. They also had river reeds. In ancient arts makeup was a big thing and boys and girls wore it. There also was the nefriti head as an art piece. They also had a lot of musical instruments such as: flutes, castanets, drums, trumpets, lyre, harps, and lutes. In modern arts they have an artist named Adam Hein. They made a lot of crushed bone, chalk, charcoal, lapis luis, vegetable and plant material. Also lead, gold, silver, and copper. They have belly dancing, music, and art pieces.
