THEY USED CERTAIN STONES SUCH AS LIMESTONE, ALABASTER, SANDSTONE,

WOOD, COPPER, AND GRANITE FOR THEIR STATUES

THEY CHISELED THE STONE OR USED MAKESHIFT DRILLS WITH METAL HANDLES, SAWS, AND STONE DRILLS.

VERY DRY SAND HAVING MANY PEOPLE PUSH IT.

THEY ALSO GOT THE STONE FROM NEARBY QUARRIES AND TRANSPORTED IT

IN FIGURE PAINTING, THE SIZES OF THE PEOPLE WERE CALCULATED BY THEIR SOCIAL STATUS.

THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PAINTINGS WERE VERY RELIGIOUS.

THE HEAD AND LEGS WERE ALWAYS IN PROFILE, EYES AND UPPER BODY VEIWED FROM THE FROMT,

AND WHEN THEY WERE SEATED, THEIR HANDS WERE ALWAYS ON THEIR KNEES.

IN THEIR STATUES AND SCULPTURES, THE MALES HAD TO BE DARKER THAN THE FEMALES.

ANCIENT EGYPTIANS USED 6 MAIN COLORS: RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, BLACK, AND WHITE.

EACH SYMBOLIZING SOMETHING.

THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS WAS CREATED FOR THE PHAROAHS AND NOBLES

CONTAINING 63 CHAMBERS, DECORATED WITH SCENES FROM ANCIENT EGPTIAN MYTHOLOGY.

SCIENTISTS ARE STILL DEBATING THE MODEL FOR THE FACE, WHEN IT WAS BUILT. AND WHO BUILT IT.
