 Egyptian civilization developed along the Nile River in large part
because the river’s annual flooding ensured reliable, rich soil for
growing crops.
 The Egyptians kept written records using a writing system known
as hieroglyphics. Some writing was preserved on stone or clay, and
some was preserved on papyrus, a paper-like product made from reed
fiber. Papyrus is very fragile, but due to the hot and dry climate of
Egypt, a few papyrus documents have survived.
 Repeated struggles for political control of Egypt showed the
importance of the region in terms of its agricultural production and the
economic resources that its highly complex social organization
produced.
 Egyptian rulers used the idea of divine kingship and constructed
monumental architecture to demonstrate and maintain power.
 Ancient Egyptians developed wide-reaching trade networks
along the Nile, in the Red Sea, and in the Near East.

Ancient Egypt, the lives of the pharaohs and their world has been a constant interest
throughout my life. It began at the age of five when my grandfather entertained me with
stories about the ancient Egyptians. He also gave me a respect for scientific method,
inspired me with an appreciation of art and taught me to examine the world around me
through observational drawing. As a result I grew up to become an artist with a love of
science and Egyptology.
My artistic works over forty years have been heavily influenced by ancient Egyptian
artistic conventions and my later works, writing books and reconstructing Egyptian
monuments, are the result of twenty years of drawings, paintings, photos and
observational notes I made while travelling the Egyptian Nile.
