Art has a purpose. For most people, it takes a lot of time and effort to develop it.

Ancient Egyptians have a special place in their culture's cosmology. Through art, they
were able to keep the world balanced and like any great civilization, Egyptian art tells us a
great deal about the people who created it.

Religion is the glue that ties communities together. Its creation is the reason why
cultures are flourishing. Egyptian ancient civilization has a distinctive culture with motif familiar
to most of the western world today, and still captures the imagination more readily than many
other cultures of its time. The pyramids at Giza or the Sphinx are instantly recognized
throughout the world, and these works in particular show a constant theme in Egyptian art: the
reflection of the culture's metaphysical beliefs and mythology.

The Egyptian art is based on perfect balance because it reflects the ideal world of the
gods. The same way these gods provided all good gifts for humanity, so the artwork was
imagined and created to provide a use. Egyptian art was always first and foremost functional.
No matter how beautifully a statue may have been crafted, its purpose was to serve as a home
for a spirit or a god. An amulet would have been designed to be attractive but aesthetic beauty
was not the driving force in its creation, protection was. Tomb paintings, temple tableaus, home
and palace gardens all were created so that their form suited an important function and, in many
cases, this function was a reminder of the eternal nature of life and the value of personal and
communal stability.
