Egyptian Literature and Architecture




Egyptian literature is hard to understand. Egyptian writing is one of the most earliest writings. Scientist aren't sure did they learn their writing from Sumerians who also began writing around the same time. Their writing is called hyeroglpics. Egyptians also use art to describe a story. Most Egyptian arts comes out of tombs so they were about prayers.

Egyptians didn't always build pyramids over a period of time different buildings were being made. Egyptians built alot of mastabas. In the Old Kingdom pyramids were becoming famous. In the Middle Kingdom mastabas were bing built again. In the New Kingdom there were not that many tombs being built. There were many temples and palaces for the pharaohs.
