Tuesday 2/4/14 LO3 Egypt

     The Narmer Palette:  This pallette was used for grinding make up for divine images in an Upper Egyptian temple about 3100 B.C.  The intertwined necks of two tethered beasts around the grinding area are believed to symbolize the union of the Two Lands.  Above them, a king wears the crown of Upper Egypt; in front of him, some of the earliest known heiroglyphs give his name-Narmer-an army parades, and beheaded corpses are lined up.  Evidently unification was not a peaceful process.  Pharaohs the rulers of ancient Egypt.
