visual language: carving sequences



Another similar type of Egyptian sequential art is carving a sequence or sequences to a stone, here is an example to explain this:

so this is similar to the Egyptian way to convey a story/history about an event that occurred at that time, instead of painting each person or object they would carve into a big stone structure, something soft which is easy to carve. This must of been a time consuming effort to carve into a stone and try to accurately give a representation of what is happening in the sequence.

one mistake of possibly carving to much or even accidentally breaking bits of something that has been carved could possibly ruin the whole stone, this would of been very hard to do without making any mistakes,
