I'm shamelessy stealing Marg's idea and making it my own.
I'm putting forward a challenge to anyone to put in pictures of Ancient Egypt. I'm not picky, I don't care what dynasty, or if it's people or buildings or whatever. And of course I know there's several from way back when in the gallery so it doesn't matter when they were drawn.
Looking forward to everyone's contributions!

I know little about this subject but will enjoy what everyone comes up with. I will look up what you draw about so I can know more about all this. So there is a bit of an incentive for all of you. You can help teach me something I know little to nothing about.

marg

Oh, well done !.. does this follow on from your latest masterpiece in ' - a Thought Writ' ?

I was just loving the conversation between you guys on Login's Showcase thread, so please - the floor is yours !

Dragon

Here's a few to get the idea out.

A couple of my own:

dragon I noticed your challenge after I got my internet up today and had already posted a new mugdots challenge of art in ancient civilizations. admittedly this came from our discussion directly but not to step on your toes at all, I will only use submissions from ancient egypt with your permission I think your challenge is a fantastic one. thanks for posting my
nefertiti. I love that people will learn about egypt with this challenge. hopefully mine will expose to ancient art thru the centuries as well as be a treat to create.

'Walk Like an Egyptian' (the Bangles)
(L. Sternberg)
Vicki, Michael, Susanna

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

Blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian

All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian

Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block

All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian

All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian

Dragon

Why Baldur, how did you know that's my favorite 80's girl band Egyptian related song?
All that would top that is if you'd added a pic of people walking like an Egyptian.

This kinda fell off the radar a while back, so with the current showcase being Egypt I thought I'd post my Isis here.

I redid this one with a much better city in the foreground.

I may redo him for the Showcase and center him better;-)

I already redid her with a proper Greek nose. She was NOT of Egyptian heritage.

Top applies to bottom, bottom applies to top...
