Unfortunately, the Egyptians weren't the greatest artists in the world.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Now that we do not have priests and philosophers any more, artists are the most important people in the world.
Great artists suffer for the people.
Some of the greatest artists did their best work when they got political.

I've never been able to understand where great artists come from.
The Beatles were great, but Beethoven and Mozart were phenomenal. Both will be remembered for centuries, but it will always be clear which were most in touch with the soul of humanity.

I like to imagine that the Neanderthals were all really good artists.
There are clearly many Egyptian free-thinkers and intellectuals - lots of wonderful Egyptian artists and architects and scientists.
