    It was a palette that utilized and applied dark colors
    around King Narmer’s eyes. The palette was also a
    symbol that commemorates the unification of Upper and King Tutankhamen

    of eighteen. Howard Carter discovered his tomb in 1922.
    They were astonished to find gold artworks and that the
    coffin was made out of solid gold. The body of the young
    king was eredred in linen and a gold mask covered his
    face.

    The Great Pyramid of Giza


    During the old Kingdom, one of the Architectural
    wonders was also constructed. The pyramids in Giza
    served as tombs since their main purpose was to provide
    a resting place for the pharaohs.

    During the prehistoric period, the early humans had


    transitioned from a nomadic lifestyle to that of more
    permanent one, which led to early civilizations. Some of the
    works discovered from this period would give modern society a
    glimpse of what was life like during that period. One of the
    early civilizations where art flourished was the Egyptian
    civilization. Throughout the three kingdoms all the way to the
    Amarna Revolution, art has been directly used particularly in
    religious and spiritual activities. Through these unearthed and
    discovered artworks, the modern world could have a better
    understanding of the past and how it can affect the present.
