SUMMARY:Art History Illustrated: Ancient Egyptian Funerary Art
DESCRIPTION:It is true that Ancient Egyptian culture remained remarkably 
 consistent over its 3000-year history\, but a very linear story can still 
 be told about its funerary practices and associated arts. Art historian 
 Brenda Edgar will examine predynastic human sacrifice\; trace the 
 development of the pyramid in the Old Kingdom\; follow the evolution of 
 funerary texts\; and tour the great New Kingdom Mortuary Temples. A special 
 highlight will be getting to know ancient Egyptian mummies\, including 
 nonroyal and nonhuman examples. As we’ll see\, tomb painting\, 
 sculpture\, and hieroglyphic texts give us profound insight into Egyptian 
 attitudes toward both Death and Life.\n\nJoin us for our “Art History 
 Illustrated” talk series\, held the third Thursday of every month at 5:30 
 p.m. This monthly illustrated talk series is presented by art historian 
 Brenda Edgar\, in collaboration with The Floyd County Carnegie Library 
 Cultural Arts Center.\n\nImage: Ancient Egyptian cat mummies in the British
