2 h. ago Jewels of the Nile: how a new exhibition finally gives Egyptian artists their due

They may not have called themselves artists but, as a new exhibition explores, the mostly anonymous painters, sculptors and craftspeople working under the pharaohs still made their mark in distinctive styleThe earliest creator in world history whose name is known to us today was Egyptian. The priest Imhotep is credited with designing the step pyramid of King Djoser at Saqqara about 4,700 years ago, and so starting the sublime aesthetic achievements of the ancient state that straddled the Nile.Yet ancient Egyptians did not imagine creativity as an individual achievement or see artists as celebrities – unless they were literally gods. Imhotep was believed to be the son of the creator god Ptah and was deified as a god of wisdom and knowledge, patron of scribes. Most Egyptian artists were no more likely to be remembered by name than Stonehenge’s builders. “Art” was not an idea. Golden mummy masks and statues of spear-wielding pharaohs were not made to be admired...

17 h. ago Ferguson is Scotland’s hero as they fight back to steal vital victory over Greece

Maybe, just maybe, Scotland will end their painful wait. If the nature of this win over Greece counts, someone is smiling favourably on Steve Clarke’s bid to lead his country to a first World Cup since 1998. Greece were superior to the Scots in so many departments here yet still lost. Lewis Ferguson’s first strike for his country and Lyndon Dykes, who scored in stoppage time, have Clarke daring to dream. It was victory that mattered here, not how it was achieved, which is just as well.Assessment of this Scotland team is not particularly easy. Euphoria swept the country as Clarke led his men to the last European Championship. Epic disappointment was not only the theme in Germany but again as the Scots returned for Nations League action. Scotland rallied impressively in that group before a comprehensive defeat by Greece in a playoff. Continue reading...
