    Meso and Egypt Compare/ Contrast

    Unlike Mesopotamia, the Egyptians discovered unity early in history. They saw unification of smaller units into single state by Menes, supposedly the first ruler. The king had to maintain ma’ta, which was to divinely authorized order of the universe. Egypt’s political system reflected importance of religion. The pharaoh, also known as king, was the heart of the government but not only just a king, but he was a god also. The “Old Kingdom” which lasted from 2100-2500 B.C.E, was the strongest and most powerful of all kingdoms. That is because only a few outsiders tried to challenge the power, economic prosperity and general rule. Their will as to what to do was the law. This is also the time when the first pyramids for tombs for the pharaohs, which was between 2600-2100 B.C.E. In the “Middle Kingdom” (2100-1650 B.C.E) Egyptians started to trade with their neighbors extensively and developed small, middle class officials and merchants. Kings were represented by officials, which were landed nobility that were specialized trained in writing and laws. Governors were appointed for different regions and responsible for supervising irrigation and public works. This good peace was ended when the Hysos (modern day Turkey) invaded Egypt. In the “New Kingdom” (1550-700 B.C.E) Hysos ruled for that century between the Middle and New Kingdom. After that ruling, they were defeated by the Prince from Thebes. The Hysosians married Egyptians when they were ruling but were seen as…

    Art History - Meso and Egyptian

    This paper focuses on the ruler and their power; it intends to analyze the role of art and architecture within the Mesopotamian and Egyptian hierarchy and its purpose. Throughout history, human civilization has learned to convey messages through various means. One of the most significant of them all is the language of art and architecture. From every corner of the planet, we see this trend. From Egypt to Iraq, from Asia to Africa, art and symbols along with architectures of various types show the power of past leaders. We will discuss how rulers convey their power through art and architecture and the ultimate purpose of that display. The Mesopotamian and Egyptian leaders both demonstrate through their magnificent artistic creations a distinctive bond between themselves and the gods.…

    Post Modern Architecture Essay

    Architecture was the first style to push beyond modernist values and shift to post-modern values. Modern architecture followed a uniform style that appears in the de Stijl movement; which preferred order, horizontal/vertical lines, simplicity, sameness, universal form, and purism; meanwhile, the Bauhaus movement used industrial materials and simple geometric forms. The international style or what can be termed as present-day architecture followed the modernist values of architecture; simple geometric forms such as rectangular prisms or as people of today call them “Skyscrapers”. Those three phases incorporated geometric forms over and over, but nothing extreme like the post-modern architecture. Post-modern…

    Cities Job Speciallization Government

    To build the civilization, a well-organized central government plays a vital role in a country. This would help a society as cities developed and expanded, the food supply and irrigation systems needed to be maintained. Governments, such as councils or religious leaders, began to oversee the business and existence of the cities. For example, the Mesopotamians had several kings who ruled their own territories. This resulted in the issues of empowerment as well as internal fights. On the other hand, the Ancient Egyptian government was ruled first and foremost by the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh was the supreme leader not only of the government, but also of the religion. Moreover, Ancient China had a government ruled by dynasties, sometimes united under one dynasty but often competing dynasties in controlling different regions.…
