Bring your wall alive with one of the greatest ancient civilizations known to modern man - The Ancient Egyptians! This spectacular poster chronicles more than 3,000 years of art, culture, mythology, geography, and history of the Kingdom of the Nile. Along the bottom is a historical timeline, starting with the Late Pre-dynastic Period (3100-2950 BC), and moving through the Early Dynastic Period, the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, New Kingdom, and Late Period, winding up with the Greco-Roman period of 332 BC-395 AD. At top-right is a map of the Nile marked with the key locations: Cairo, Giza, Saqqara, Memphis, Abvdos, Karnak, Thebes, Luxor, and Valley of the Kings. Near the bottom-right is a Hieroglyphic Transliteration key, while the rest of the poster is filled with beautiful Ancient Egyptian-style illustrations displaying many aspects of life in the court of the Egyptian kings. The Eye of Horus...the Mask of Tutankhamun...the Egyptian Zodiac...Queen Nefertiti...The Ankh...Mummification...The Sky Goddess Neuth...and much more! A spectacular design that makes a beautiful accent to any room, this is both a work of poster art, and a valuable educational tool.
