Egyptian art was influenced by several factors, including the Nile River, the two kingdoms (the Upper in the south and the Lower in the north), agriculture and hunting, animals, the heavens, the pharaohs and gods, and religious beliefs. Religion was one of the major patrons of Egyptian art throughout its three-millennium history. Ancient Egyptian art was dedicated to preserving the body for the afterlife, a vital reason as to why artists drew from memory, based according to strict rules set by their culture.
