Exit Slip – Intro to Ancient Egypt World History with Mr. Golden
1. Egyptian art was very focused on symbolism (the use of symbols/signs to represent more than just what is being pictured). The Narmer Palatte is considered to be the first man-made artifact that describes an historical event. The event described in the Narmer Palatte was the unification of
Upper and Lower Egypt under one ruler in one kingdom.
How did the ancient artist of the Narmer Palatte use symbolism to convey this message?
