From someone with a useless art history professor, thank you for this!!
Thanks -- hope things improve in your class!
OH MY GOSH SAME HERE?! Mine is completely useless, he doesn't know how to teach I swear. He has the papers to be a professor, but doesn't know what he's doing!
This channel is a blessing thank you!!!
Hawks were worshiped in several nomes, in both Upper and Lower Egypt. The adoration of 'two hawks' seems to have been associated with the defeated enemies shown on the Narmer palette, perhaps symbolizing Set and Horus the elder. Worship of one hawk was particularly associated with Khonsu, the ancient war-god of Waset (Thebes). Khonsu was also represented by a bull, as Narmer is, in the lower register, of the palette, trampling a fallen enemy and his city. So it's not absolutely certain that the hawk shown perched on the papyus-glyph is a representation the king in the guise of Horus.
Can somebody tell me, what is the function of most Ancient Egyptians, especially pharaonic art?
Highly informative video on Narmer!
I made my own video about Narmer on my new channel!
Thank you! I have a midterm on this coming up and it followed some of my textbook
Great! I hope your midterm went well.
That channel obviously, good channel , thank you , btw. I'm from Egypt
You rock, thanks for the videos :)
I'm taking my first art class and have a lot of artwork to memorize (dates) . My professor mentioned she will ask a general question about the artwork so thanks for the explanation! Good job and thank you 😊
Thank you, and best of luck with your class!
My brother's and sister's we can't let Egypt steal African culture 🧫 we have to educate this generation of black students 💯 true facts
As I understand it, the there is no way to carbon date stone. The only way we can date a stone structure is by carbon dating an item found in or around the structure. The most recent carbon dating from 1984-1985 found the materials found around Khufu's Pyramid dated nearly 400 hundred of years before Khufu was recorded to be alive.
The 2 feline animals with intertwined necks, is 100% a symbol of ancient Mesopotamia. It has been found on several famous roll seals. I cant believe no one else noticed that.
I did and was quite cross that this key fact was not pointed out ( or she didn’t know it).It is absolutely key to our understanding that pre dynastic Egypt was associated with the ancient Sumer civilisation.
Furthermore early Egyptian hieroglyphics are clearly and unequivocally borrowed from early Sumerian hieroglyphs cementing this all important link.
We do not know where the Sumerian language came from as it not related to any other early language structure.It is perhaps the first.It is accepted as the earliest form of writing.
Old kingdom tombs also used ‘Laipis’ and other blue stones that have to have come from Central Asia via Sumerian’s ( who also used them).
Finally it is arguable ( not proven) that the concept of a stepped pyramid ( one mastaba placed on top of a larger one was taken from the early Sumerian ziggurats.In time they too became more complex but the depiction of early ones were a very similar ‘step’ arrangement .The Dashur pyramid’s initial construction btw is a complete ‘giveaway’ as to what it was originally engineered to be!
Note that on the Giza plateau the smaller and more heavily eroded satellite pyramids clearly show how the pyramids of this era were initially built -they are all ( without exception) step pyramids...
I am frankly surprised that more work has not been undertaken in this area of early Sumerian influences as it is imho obvious.

@@philbarker7477 This was an indigenous Africa civilisation, which came to be, fully at the hands of Africans. You can clearly see by the hair texture on the Narmer Palette that all the people depicted had Afro textured hair. No foreign region inspired this civilisation but Africans themselves.
Nonsense ! - KEMET is 1000 years older than Mesopotamia nice try though.
@@philbarker7477 These are lies. Sumerians never built pyramids. Pyramids are typically of Nile valley civilisation about 4000 miles long .Stop the shameful and ridiculous lies please
These artifacts are still on the ground in Eastern Africa.There is none in Mesopotamia , none in your sumeria nor in Greece.What is wrong with some of you?

no those are SERPOPARDS of Egyptian mythology, half leopard half serpent
Thanks for this information! I found an article that confirms your identification: Toby A. H. Wilkinson. "What a King Is This: Narmer and the Concept of the Ruler." The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology 86 (2000): 23-32. doi:10.2307/3822303. www.jstor.org/stable/3822303

No actually that's a royal seal from Mesopotamia, the exact same symbol is in several seals, also the pear shaped hammer is also from Mesopotamia, as are the first Egyptian tombs, built with the same notched and buttress style from Mesopotamia.
I know people who visit the museums in Egypt and told me that the mummies were pure African people the art and statues and writing language is of pure African people I look online and noticed that the mummies were African people not Egyptian and Mediterranean dark 🌑 skin bs 💯 true facts
Europeans and Mediterranean people don't have black eyes 👀 African and black people do period 💯 true facts
nope, try again
Fake 🤥 News 📰
Egypt is in Africa 🌍 it was known as kemet civilization not Egyptian civilization period 💯 true facts
