[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sahel (Siptah): [QB] Ancient Egypt not only experienced a golden age but had an interesting relationship with other nations mainly during the 4th dynastic period. The life size portrait heads represent servants, mercenaries, courtiers, guards, workmen, and even spouses all which are members of the royal family who witnessed the work of the pyramid buildings and the sphinx in lower Egypt. During the pyramid building age olive oil, servants, cedar products, hard stones such as diorite were acquired either by military expeditions or trade with confederacies in the Near East. Most possibly, these heads not only exist to represent the deceased but to show particular political relations Egypt had with less sophisticated foreign confederacies from Palestine, Aegean and possibly even as far as the Asia minor during the period. As of now, just over 30 reserve heads have been found with some lost or not found. [/QB][/QUOTE]
