Ancient Egypt:-
- Highly stylised and symbolic.
- Also created on rock (walls of homes, pyramids, tombs, etc.), but also on papyrus.
- Very sequential and story-based.
- Many depictions of sphinxes and cats.
- Very centred of the gods of the era, and other powerful figures like Pharaohs and kings.
- Hieroglyphics used to communicate words and story.
- Statues were also important.
- Used to honour the Gods. So usually covered the walls in tombs to ensure the dead crossed over safely.
- 3,000BC-ish.
