The Hieroglyphic (writing consisting of hieroglyphs) was usually written on people’s front doors, so the news of the pharaoh would come to everyone. This shows that the pharaoh had strong power. In Ancient Egypt they spoke Egyptian until 17th century AD. Nowadays they speak Egyptian Arabic.

PyramidsThe pyramids are a big part of Ancient Egypt visual art, and it was a big evidence of Ancient Egypt. Mainly in Ancient Egypt drawings/sculptures, pharaohs were in it. This shows that they had power and they even controlled art. One of the main arts can be pyramids. The pyramids were basically tombs for the pharaohs, but also a house that was made for the next life of the pharaohs. The reason why the Egyptians made this is because they thought the pharaoh was the son of the sun god, so they had to obey him.
