"If a son has struck his father, they shall cut off his hand. If a nobleman has destroyed the eye of a member of the aristocracy, they shall destroy his eye.. . ."
The idea expressed in this quotation is found in the

• painting and sculpture

• vast mineral deposits existed for manufacturing
• climate and geography favored agriculture
• rivers contributed to nomadic lifestyles
• natural barriers provided protection from invasions

The Egyptians used hieroglyphics in the same way as the Sumerians used
