Early History of Egypt 3100-1200BC.
[ send me this paper ]
(3 pp). Archaeological evidence suggests that, Egypt was inhabited by hunters over 250,000 years ago when the region was a green grassland. The Paleolithic period around 25,000BC brought climatic changes, which turned Egypt into a desert. Desertification of Egypt was halted by rains, which allowed communities of cultivators to settle in Middle Egypt and the Nile Delta. Throughout most of its pre-dynastic history Egypt encompassed a multiplicity of settlements, which gradually became small tribal kingdoms. These kingdoms evolved into two loosely confederated states: one encompassed the Nile valley up to the Delta (with the Naqada dominating) with Hierakonpolis as capital, represented by the deities Seth and White Crown; the other encompassed the Delta, with Buto as its capital and represented by the deities Horus and Red Crown. The two kingdoms vied for power over all the land of Egypt. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Greek Influences.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) The philosophy in classical Greece which influenced three dimensional art forms of the period, could be summed up in the words of Protagoras: man is the measure of all things. This combined with other philosophers' emphasis on rational inquiry, and challenging the status quo, created a society of intellectual and artistic risk takers. Just as man's dignity and worth were central Greek concepts, the human figure was the principal motif in Greek art and architecture, in both, it reflected a similar respect for balance.
