The tombs and temples of ancient Egypt seem to reveal how art and monumental building first flowered at the heart of civilization, and the many ways in which they may adorn and articulate the human condition, and our relationships with the eternal and our time on Earth. 650 0 $a Art, Egyptian. 650 7 $a Art, Egyptian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816211 830 0 $a World of art. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219013209.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022649.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=97E5ADB0580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
