Pyramid, is a geometric form of many surfaces, one of which is a polygon called the base of the pyramid, and the pyramid resulting from connecting the corners of a quadrilateral or triangular base with a single point called the top, and the monthly shape of the base is the square base. Another definition: The pyramid is a regular polygon whose base is a regular polygon, whose head is tethered to a point outside the base so that if we take a column from this point it meets with the junction point of the base diameters.

The Pharaoh whom history could not forget! This is a painting of the upper part of a colossal statue of the apostate Pharaoh Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten originating from Karnak, possibly sculpted by the artist ‘Bek’. Made from sandstone, this statue stands at 2.05m (6ft 8inch). Back in its day, the complete statue would have been almost three times as tall. The bust would have been highly decorated with vibrant colours, remnants of which can still be seen: traces of blue on the side flank of his headdress, blue in the crevices of his beard, yellow along the band on his crown and red on his lips which is somewhat unusual for a statue of a male in ancient times. However, Akhenaten was anything but a traditionalist as he strived to push his campaign for the primacy of the cult of the Aten, establish bureaucracy, and defy convention. His new art movement was very provocative, placing himself in direct opposition of the former, traditional art forms. Early in Akhenaten’s reign, temples...

The complaints of the pious peasant appeared in the Middle Kingdom era, the golden age of the ancient Egyptian literature, which provided humanity with two of the finest literary texts of the world, namely the complaints of the peasant and the story of the Egyptian writer Sinouhi. The pharaoh raised his complaint to the head of the court in nine pleadings when he was looted by a senior state official. The nine arguments that are attributed to the noble peasant are of wisdom and supreme human values, which makes them masterpieces of world literature. One of the aspects that many people do not pay attention to in the story of the peasant is that the head of the court, Ransa Ibn Miro, when he received the first complaint from the peasant, went to the king and told him that he had received a complaint from a peasant who said: The king ordered the head of the court not to respond to the pharaoh and said, "To continue his speech, you have to keep silent, and his word comes to...
