Carpe Diem – Multiple Faces of Egyptian Pyramids
Ancient Egypt represents a complex mixture of symbolism, which can be found in all the art forms, the relics, the temples and the tombs, various manuscripts, and the hieroglyphics. Representing a great sense of mystery and the unknown, it acts as a source of interest for both young and old, for those that work professionally in the field of ancient history and anthropology, and those who want to learn more about ancient Egypt and its relation to modern times that take a lot from the ancient times. A digital display of artifacts has an important benefit, as the digital realm is a perfect platform to tell about symbolism with the help of technological advancements that allow capturing of a wider audience. One of such aspects is telling of a color symbolism of the ancient Egypt where every color had a meaning. In addition to that, since the art of ancient Egypt is mostly two-dimensional, digital technology will add more possibilities for analysis and more poignant narration (Wilkinson, Richard). In order to use digital technology in a most efficient way, it is possible to present the sculptures and the artifacts in chronological order, which will make a certain time table that will run from the first found and identified objects to the modern culture of our times. In such way, it will be possible to connect the art of the ancient Egypt with the modern culture, which will be especially interesting for the children, as it will trigger their inspiration and imagination, as they discover the world of ancient Egypt during the museum visit, using all the advantages of the modern technology (Ancient Egypt: Symbols of the Pharaoh. Visit Resource for Teachers). Uniting the past and the present is a unique way of preserving the heritage and history of our cultural diversity that we share.
