We as humans learn from one another so when we look at what our predecessors have done in their time. When we look at our books, art work, and statues that were left behind from the previous generations we learn how to recreate things that were made thousands of years ago like for example on how most of the buildings that have to do with government are usually modeled after the buildings that were created during the roman empire which were the columns.
Art in which were created by different generations of people and some whom that were made for the greatest of great nations and some of which lasted centuries are beneficial to art lover and artist today. There are so many different type of art works out there and each one is different and unique to the ones who created them. Age and war are the true destroyers of beautiful art and structures some of which we are still looking for and only finding remains of what is left there.
The pyramids which were created by the Egyptians centuries ago still stand today and which are one of the oldest buildings that are still standing today.
Egyptians were one of the first civilizations to write down their history and that was before they came up with the idea of using papyrus to write and use as scrolls for parchments But when they created the pyramids they used in their written language called hieroglyphics to tell stories and other things that they felt should be told.
The Egyptians are the ones to start the ball rolling for what we and countless other civilizations before us know and they were the best at what they knew and that is art and architecture.
"The ancient Egyptian god Horus was a deity with many roles. His image
and symbols can be found all through ancient Egyptian art. He is usually
represented as a Falcon or a human figure with a Falcon head. In
ancient Egypt the Sun and the Moon were regarded as the all seeing eyes
of the great falcon god Horus. His right eye being the Sun and his left
eye, the Moon."
