Abstract

Egypt is the gift of the Nile and the Egyptians, as Herodotus said, and it is the gift of the Nile because it was narrated from its beautiful fresh water and because it was a source of goodness for the people and a source of inspiration for creators. Civilization is to reside in their country, a civilization that taught the whole world about urbanization, urbanization and stability, a civilization that established arts that were a sweet source from which all lovers of art, ancient and modern, learn. Beyond imagination, the world has dazzled throughout the ages.
The art of prominent Egyptian sculpture in all its stages of development was one of the most important arts that had an effective and truly effective role in preserving the features of the Egyptian human and civilized heritage. In society intellectually, politically and religiously, the ancient Egyptian artist immortalized his heroes and recorded on the page of history his victories, all through the works of prominent sculpture that decorated the edifices and facades, and this original art was an epic that speaks and beats the spirit of history.
