    Ancient Egyptian art was closely tied to religious beliefs about the afterlife. Tombs started as mastabas but later developed into structures like the Saqqara pyramid. The largest pyramid, the Pyramid of Cheops, took 20 years to build and stood over 475 feet tall. Statues of pharaohs were often depicted sitting with one hand on the knee and portrayed men with darker skin than women, reflecting cultural norms.
