Virtually, Ancient Egypt exists for the many but in name. They know it from Holy Writ as the Land of Bondage. They may have heard of the stupendous ruins found in the country; may have marvelled at the architecture and the sculptures, or gazed with idle curiosity at the paintings; but for any just comprehension of what they have seen, they are still in almost total darkness. Without presuming in an article like the present to supply a deficiency palpable to all, we may yet venture to explain some of the sculptures and paintings which illustrate the history of the country, or the manners and customs of the people; and, with the aid of occasional reference to examples in the British Museum and the Crystal Palace, to awaken some degree of popular attention to the treasures of information within the reach of all. Before, however, describing the sculptures and paintings, it may be desirable to offer a brief outline of the characteristic features of the temples themselves, so far as we may be enabled to deduce them from the remains still extant. The monuments we have left to us in Egypt are of two periods,—those built in the times of the Pharaohs, and those built during the rule of the Greek and Roman kings of the country. Although the temples of the two periods differ materially in plan and in other particulars, there is yet sound reason for believing that those built under the Greeks and Romans were constructed after designs, and certainly occupy the sites of Pharaonic temples still more ancient than any now existing-that they were, in fact, mere restorations of temples built by the earlier Pharaohs; affording signal evidence of the respect entertained by the Greeks for Egyptian Art, since, instead of destroying its examples, if our hypothesis be correct, they rather sought to restore after the type of the originals. Fig. 1. Plan of the Memnonium. The leading features of an Egyptian temple of the time of the Pharaohs are these (Fig. 1):— First, a gateway or pylon, flanked by two truncated pyramids, occupied the entire width of the building, and formed the entrance to a square court surrounded by a portico supported by a double or single row of columns. Crossing this court, the visitor passed through a second pylon into the inner court, which was likewise surrounded by a portico supported either by columns, or by piers against which were figures of the king. Beyond this second or inner court it would appear the public were not admitted, for the spaces between the front row of columns or piers facing the gateway, were occupied by a dwarf wall which effectually barred entrance excepting at one or three points, where there were gates. This inner court led immediately into the largest chamber |
