Module 3:

Hi everyone. My name is Andy Natwick. I started out at UCF as an art major. I've since changed my major to anthroplogy, but I still have an interest in art. I find Egyption art fascinating which is why I chose it as the topic of my research project.

Module 7:

I'm going to focus my wiki project on art of the Amarna Period. More specifically why it was so different from the art before it and why it was abandoned.

Module 8:

The floodplains along the Nile constitute an important but as yet little utilized series of laboratories for the comparative study of the origins and interaction of ancient civilizations.

Module 12:

This image in google earth shows some of the ruins at Amarna. I think maps would be a good way to show where places are in relation to rivers, oceans, and other natural resources.

Module 13:

The majority of this article talks about Egyptian history through Amarna letters and how they relate to biblical history. However, there are a few pages refering to the Amarna Period. This section focuses on wether or not Akhenaten reigned alone or with his father, a period called coregency. The new amarna style art depicts people in a more realistic way. Akhenaten was depicted with an abnormal body shape. In some pictures, his father is also depicted in the same way. The article also debates who certian amarna letters were written for or to, Akhenaten or Amenophis III, to see who was reigning when. If they were coregents and depending on how long, Akhenaten's father Amenophis III may have had an influence on the changes in religion and artistic style.

Module 14:

This article argues whether or not Amenhotep III had an influence on the religious and artistic aspects of the Amarna period. The big argument is if there was a coregency or if Amenhotep III and his successor Akhenaten ruled consecutively. There is evidence that Amenhotep III was worshiped as the sun god while still alive. If this is true it probably had a lasting effect on his son Akhenaten which led to his religious change to sole belief in the sun disk Aten. The artistic changes in the Amarna period are more likely associated with Akhenaten. The artistic depictions of Amenhotep III are believed to be done by Akhenaten in memory of his father. This article would be helpful to anyone interested in the origins of the religious and artistic changes during the amarna period.
