Question

Clue:there were no such performing arts and music

Answer 1

What happened to the performing arts of egypt, well it turned into modern dance, plays, singers etc. of today. To be more accurate with your question you should have said Where was the performing arts in the eqyptian period. Now remember we are talking around 6000 years of ancient eqyptian history. Song was used in the adoration of their gods as well as dance. There certainly were drums and some string and wind instruments during the eqyptian millenia. Certainly with the rise of Greek, helinic culture the Greeks copied the Egyptian in some things and surely the Egyptian would have copied the performing arts (theatre) of the Greeks, Remember the Ptolemeic Dynasty inherited through Alexander the Great,( A gay man) was the dynasty that had Cleopatra as one of the greatest queens of Eqypt. The performing arts were there they combined with other cultures of antiquity and gave us what we have today.

Answer 2

Essentially-nothing.
The egyptians made no great artistic advances, due to the fact they were in love with a specific formula of drawing the figure. The torso always faced forwars, the legs and head were always in profile. They even had measuring sticks that made sure every person they drew had the exact same proportions!
It wasn't until akhenaten that some real advances were made. In a carving showing him and his wife, the family is depicted with great naturalism, and akhenaten's very distinctive features were depicted.
After this, Egypt went into another period of stagnant wall depictions until increased trade and exposure to different cultures and art changed the way they depicted people permanently.

Answer 3

there was actually alot of various forms of art in BC ages in egypt. most art was of the oral fashion, alot was also in the context of murals, tomb paintings, sculptures, wood crafts, cermaics, busts, etc. There WERE performing arts and MUSIC in ancient egypt, most pharohs were actually burried with a harp like instrument in their tombs. performing arts were preformed, but not in the same context as you may think of today. Preists would some times wear masks which resembled their gods during certain private ceremonies, but no it wasnt public preformaces. However such preformaces were completly non existant during the reign of Ankhnautun (forgive my spelling) because he was the first and only monotheistic pharoh.

Answer 4

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Egyptians use sorcery and magic?
