    Graeco-Roman "mummy portraits," such as the Mummy wrapping of a young boy reflect _______. - ProProfs

    Graeco-Roman "mummy portraits," such as the Mummy wrapping of a young boy reflect _______.

    • A lack of interest in the afterlife

    • A break from Egyptian burial traditions

    • A blending of Roman and Egyptian burial traditions

    • A rejection of Roman interest in portraiture

    Correct Answer
    A. A blending of Roman and Egyptian burial traditions
    Explanation
    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.

    • A marked distortion of the body and elongation of the heads

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    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.

    Judgment before Osiris from a Book of the Dead was made of what material? - ProProfs

    Judgment before Osiris from a Book of the Dead was made of what material?

    • Limestone

    • Green schist

    • Anorthosite gneiss

    • Papyrus

    Correct Answer
    A. Papyrus
    Explanation
    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.

    In the Palette of Narmer the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt is shown by _________.

    • The presence of the Red Crown of Lower Egypt

    • The presence of King Menes

    • The presence of symbols from both areas

    • The use of hieratic scale in the palette

    Correct Answer
    A. The presence of symbols from both areas
    Explanation
    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 _______, the life-giving sun disk. - ProProfs

    Akhenaten founded a new religion honoring _______, the life-giving sun disk.

    • Horus

    • Amun

    • Aten

    • Maat

    Correct Answer
    A. Aten
    Explanation
    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.
