I know that there are different historical periods of art in which certain styles come in and out of popularity, but why does it seem like all ancient Egyptian art is done in the exact same style for all of its history?

I mean… is it, though? Or do you just not know what to look for? I’m less familiar with Egyptian art forms than with Greek, but with the ancient Greek stuff, people say the painted pottery all feels kind of same-y, until you point out, *did you notice how some of it, the people are painted in black slip on a red background, and others, they’re painted by scraping way the black to reveal red underneath?*
