Blog #4


I find it interesting that even in the early socities, those who thought very highly of themselves somehow made others feel the same way. For example, this sculpture was made so that King Khafre could admire himself. This scultpure, which is now located inthe Egyptian Museum in Cairo, five and a half feet tall, and almost exact replica of how large and exactly what the King may have looked like.


Can you imagine how many sculptures and statues we would have in today's society if anyone who thought they were worthy of it had one made? We would have thousands and thousands of random statues and sculptures everywhere of random people, some that we may know, and many we may not.
