Jane Akshar's Ancient Egypt Products

Information I’ve put together includes:

An e-book covering 6 academic essays

I’ve published my essays I submitted to the University of Manchester, giving you an insight into the themes covered in the course. These are the titles:

1.       Trace the evolution of funerary architecture from the predynastic pit grave through the development of the mastaba tomb, to the pyramid complexes of the 4th Dynasty.

2.       Describe the conventions of representation used in Egyptian two-dimensional art. Demonstrate this with reference to the wall scenes in ONE non-royal tomb of the later Old Kingdom.

3.       Was Hatshepsut a successful king of Egypt?

4.       Describe the major differences and similarities between a cult temple and a royal mortuary temple of the New Kingdom, giving a detailed description of at least one of each.

5.       Consider Egypt’s relationships with Libya and the “Sea Peoples” during the New Kingdom and assess their possible contribution to the decline of Egypt’s empire and international standing.

6.       To what extent does the ‘archaising tendency” of the Saites represent a true revival of Egyptian culture?

In the pipeline is:
