An Egyptian Pharaoh's tomb was not commonly located in the upper chambers of a stepped pyramid or other enclosed structure. Instead, they were typically buried in elaborate tombs in the Valley of the Kings or in other specially constructed tombs.

The correct answer is a blending of Roman and Egyptian burial traditions. This is because the "mummy portraits" combine elements of both Roman and Egyptian art styles and burial practices. The portraits themselves, which were painted on wooden panels and placed on the mummies, reflect the Roman tradition of portraiture. However, the practice of mummification and the inclusion of these portraits in the burial process is a continuation of the Egyptian burial tradition. Therefore, the "mummy portraits" represent a blending of both cultures' burial practices.

The correct answer is "one foot extended forward and arms rigidly to the side." This can be seen in the double portrait of Menkaure and a Queen, where both figures have one foot extended forward and their arms are rigidly positioned at their sides. This stylistic convention was commonly used in Egyptian art to depict figures in a formal and static manner.

False. The statement suggests that Tutankhamun (King Tut) was pharaoh before Nefertiti became queen, but this is incorrect. Nefertiti was the queen during the reign of her husband, Akhenaten, who was the pharaoh before Tutankhamun.

Judgment before Osiris from a Book of the Dead was made of papyrus. This is because the Book of the Dead, which contained the texts and illustrations for the judgment scene, was typically written on papyrus scrolls. Papyrus was a common writing material in ancient Egypt, made from the papyrus plant that grew along the Nile River. The scrolls were often decorated and contained spells and instructions to help the deceased navigate the afterlife and pass the judgment before Osiris, the god of the underworld.

The correct answer is the presence of symbols from both areas. This is because the Palette of Narmer depicts various symbols that represent both Upper and Lower Egypt, such as the intertwined serpents, the falcon representing Horus, and the bull representing the goddess Hathor. These symbols signify the unification of the two regions under the rule of Narmer, the first pharaoh of Egypt.

Akhenaten founded a new religion honoring Aten, the life-giving sun disk. Aten was believed to be the supreme god and the source of all life and energy. Akhenaten promoted the worship of Aten as the sole deity, rejecting the traditional polytheistic beliefs of ancient Egypt. He built a new capital city called Amarna and dedicated it to the worship of Aten. This religious revolution was a significant departure from the previous religious practices and had a profound impact on Egyptian society and culture during Akhenaten's reign.
