Interestingly, the Egyptians did not have a term for “art,” but they continuously produced something unique that stands today as exotic and magnificent creations. In a sense, we could say that the Egyptians didn’t create art; rather, their works elevated it to the status of art.

Many of their works had symbolic meanings and were primarily intended for practical use, while also being visually stunning enough to be considered art. In the contemporary era, Egyptian works are recognized as an art form due to their impeccable creativity, craftsmanship, and aesthetic appeal.
