Ancient and Modern Egyptian Art is very interesting. In our exhibit we included the Three Pyramids of Giza, jewelry, amulets, and a puzzle for Ancient Egyptian Art. Also in our exhibit we included a poster about Modern Egyptian Art and a puzzle. Amulets were decorated with jewels. Amulets were used as decoration, and the people believed that they would protect them from harm. Jewelry was made out of fine metals and jewels. If someone was wearing a piece of jewelry it would show their richness, power, and authority.  The Three Pyramids of Giza are located in Cairo.  The “Great Pyramid” of Khufu is 481 ft. tall. The pyramid of Khafre is 471 ft. tall. The pyramid of Menkaure is 213 ft. tall. “Walls of Freedom” is a type of art that is done about freedom. Artist express their feelings through their art.

Ancient and Modern Egyptian Government is very interesting.  In our exhibit we included a poster about the Pharaoh, a small figure of a pharaoh, and a keynote about Modern Government. In Ancient egypt the Pharaoh owned everything. He had the most power in the land. The Pharaoh’s right hand man was called the Veizer. The Veizer would go into the town each day and watch all that was going on. At the end of the day he would return to the Pharaoh and share with him all that was happening. Mohammed Morsi and Hosani Mubarak were both very bad presidents. People rebelled against them and reevaluations were started. There are still reevaluations that are going on today in Egypt.
