As you can see above, the picture explains everything that you can imagine. While others focused on mostly gods and other important part of the Egyptian designs, I managed to draw one based on the life differences of Egypt. To summarize, this is the part where Osiris (Far right) and his son Horus (Next to Osiris) is checking if the world is balanced, meaning how the world is changing. Starting from the left, you can tell by the size and the action, they are peasants and farmers working. The tools are not that sophisticated and the clothing isn't either, it’s even perhaps worse, since they don't have any ornaments with them. Next up, it’s the artisan group, where he is trying to build something. The size of one is bigger than but not as great as one on the right sides. As we go on, there is the pharaoh, looking at the poor wondering what to do (that’s why hieroglyphics above says "Wonders of the Egypt.") He maintains some nice jewelry and some cross representing the religion/royalty. Next two up stands for the same level "Gods," except the one on the right edge, is located in a higher position. They are more colorful, holds authority, and what I like about is that they have a nice hat. Lastly, as you can see above the two gods, there are the symbols representing, to stand out. Overall, I have drawn this nice piece of art to emphasize that "once Egypt was mighty as a stone, but over time, it was weak as a beggar coveting food.
