Abstract
This paper aims to present examples of pre-dynastic visual representations in search of the cosmological and temporal concepts underlying the images. Then, with comparisons from the first and second dynasties, I will discuss the continuity and change between art and cosmological conceptions during the time frame when Egypt moves towards unification and the emergence of the so-called “state”.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
