The art and architecture of Egypt during the age of the pharaohs continue to capture the imagination of the modern world. Whether adapted to fine, delicate jewelry or colossal statues, these forms maintain a human face--with human ideas and emotions.These artistic templates, and the ideas they articulated, were refined and reinvented through dozens of centuries, until scenes first created for the earliest kings, around 3000 BCE, were eventually used to represent Roman emperors and the last officials of pre-Christian Egypt. Among the great creative achievements of ancient Egypt are a set of constant forms: archetypes in art and architecture in which the origins of concepts such as authority, divinity, beauty, and meaning are readily discernible.
Bill Manley's account of the art of ancient Egypt draws on the finest works through more than 3,000 years and places celebrated
