  1. I can see a man riding a horse, I can also see some words written in Egyptian writing (holographic). I can see a horse walking. I can see a man blowing something off his hand. There are some crumbled bits that have fallen off the piece of stone and the piece of stone had fallen off the wall.

    In one of the pictures I can see a man pulling a black horse that is tied with reigns. In another picture I can see a man sitting in a small carriage with two white horses pulling the mini carriage. In the last picture I can see a man blowing something off his hand and he is holding a hook in the other hand.

    We still use horses and reigns. We use horses to pull carriages. We also use reigns to control the horses.

    I think the picture was painted to see what happened in the past. I think it has some famous people who use to live a long time ago and do famous things.

  2. I can see two horse drawn chariots and a few hieroglyphics in the corner of the picture. Both horse drawn chariots are differently designed. I think this picture came from the Egyptian period because I can see things that the Egyptians improved and used.

    I think the picture is representing the change of time between the Egyptian era. As it shows two different and unique carriages maybe they are trying to show how they improved the carriages.

    Today we still use horse drawn carriages, ploughs and other horse drawn vehicles. On the left hand side there is an old man that is using a walking stick and most people today also use a walking stick.

    This picture was painted because in the Egyptian times there were no cameras, cell phones or printers. Everything that happened in BC was all recorded as paintings.

  3. I can see one man holding a horse and another man having a stick
    and spiting at his hand.I also can see tow white clean horses
    that are puling one big, strong, little man that is sitting on a
    cart but I think it is a go-kart and I'd could see lots of tear and rips in the corner or edge.

    I think that man in the corner is spiting and saying some special secret hieroglyphic words.And I can also see one man and a black horse I think the man has some thing and the horse is pulling it.It
    could be some thing really hard and solid.I could also see that two
    horses are pulling the one man on the kart.I think that the man is going some were or telling some one what to do.

    I think yes because there some things that we use today in the olden times there are horse that we use for ridding and doing other stuff too.

    Quick Reminder to all of you:I think this represents Egyptian and also Greek times too. Too remind you that the pictures all shapes and sizes are different and unique.

    I think the picture is painted so it could have colour
    and if it did not have colours it can't shine no one could read it.And I also think that it had colour was so we could understand what happened in the past.

  5. What can I see?
    I can see a people riding on a horse chariot and a few hieroglyphics on the side with a man. A man is looking at his hand because it maybe has some writing on his hand. The two white horses look sad and doing a lot of work. The black horse looks smart, happy and excited to do his job. There are a few plants and patterns in the corner that makes it look old and enchanted.
    What is happening?
    The picture ion the top right looks like the horse is newly trained and excited to do his job. The servant is pushing the horse on wheels towards the pharaoh, the servant is holding reins and the hose is galloping. The bottom right picture is two old horses dragging a rich man in a chariot. The rich man is young and holding the chariot. The man under the hieroglyphics is reading his hand and holding a stick to help him walk.
    Why the picture was painted?
    The picture was painted to remember life in the Egyptians how rich horses are happy and poor horses are sad and do not like their job. The other man is reading his hand and falling over his stick because it means just because you are sick does not mean you can’t do anything.

  6. What can you see ?

    I can see an awful Egyptian wearing a traditional cloth at their time. I can also see a horse attached to two wheels. I think I can see a small bag on the horse. In the second picture I see two tired and thirsty horses resting. The man was sitting on a wooden seat attached to the horse.

    What do you think is happening in the picture ?

    I think they are working and using the horses in the farm. In the second picture I see a man sitting and two horses slowly walking. I also see a man standing with a traditional cloth covering his waist.

    Are there any thing we still use today ?

    Yes we use horses and saddles only .

    Why do you think this picture was painted ?

    I think this picture was painted so visitors would know what happened long time ago.
    I think they painted because the Egyptians did not know how to write and they used pictures to communicate with each other.

  7. It is an Egyptian Painting,it was found in 3000 BC. I can see people are riding horses and using for transportation
    and for agricultural.

    In the last picture, I can see a man blowing something with his hand and holding a hook in the other hand.

    I can also see Egyptian writing on the wall. We still use horses carriages for Agricultural purpose. This picture was made with stones in 3000 BC that why it has no colors. Now it has painted in different colors.

  8. I can see an old man holding a hook and is carving on the wall in hieroglyphs. I think he was describing the picture on the right hand side which is about the stages of making a carriage. The first picture shows a man in a cart and 2 horses and the second picture shows a carriage with a man inside. What we still use nowadays that is in the picture are horse, carriage, reins and wheels. I think this picture was drawn to give ideas to other generations about their lifestyle and what they use to transport to other places.

  9. I can see three men but the middle two are riding a horse. The top man is riding a happy horse, but the bottom one has two horses sadly.

    At the left hand corner there Is a hieroglyphic. And under that hieroglyphic there is a man that is preying. Actually
    I think that he is a god. I think the top man is farming grapes. The bottom man is reading a book because he has a square thing in his hand.


    This picture is painted because there are no electricity in the Egyptians time.

  10. In the picture I can see three horses, one tree on the right hand side, two people and one baby and cool egyptian writing.The horses are attached to chariots.I think there are two people in chariots and the horses are trying to get food from another place in Egypt. We still have horses and plants and humans today. I think this picture has been painted because there are some bits they need to finish.

  15. The painting looks like someone is noticing what the people in his environment are doing.In the painting people are doing there work like they are taking care of horses.This parson was really looking at every one.

    It was a really focused and closely looked.There are horses,chariots,people and some traditional writing on the top left corner.One of the people should have been a bit old as he as a walking stick.It was made out of stone and the color can be made out of animal dung or blood.

    The person also must have been an Egyptian as the people in the picture are wearing a skirt that a Egyptian man would wear.

    I can see that how people developed Tomtom to go to different places
    easily.
    I think a man is making a tomtom.
    Yes we use tomtoms in many counties even today.
    Its painted so people can know what happened in the past.

  17. I can see, Hieroglyphice, which makes me think that,it's a Egyptian. I think it's like message or a painting or a art. I also think that it's on the Stone Age years, because they mostly, did carving on, stone 's and rock 's and cave 's, I think they used, animals blood for red paint. The picture, might be made, on the Ancient Egyptian years because in the Iron Age we use paper to paint and their language is Hieroglyphics.

    I could see a man praying for something, like a god or goddess, and he has a walking stick, because he is old or maybe because he need's it for his sheep. I can also see a man/boy, that is riding a cart the wrong way round, and two white horses pulling the cart wrong way round.

    I can see , Hieroglyphics 's,which makes me think that it's a Egyptian. I think the picture is saying when I was young, I was riding a cart the wrong way round, and I accidentally let my horse go and I trying to stop it, from escaping when I was old I was praying god's and goddes mostly and always wrote Hieroglyphics.

    The things, in the picture that are still, here now are stone 's and rocks, trees and forest 's walking stick old man boy man's cart's white horse and black horse and horse rider 's

    I think the, picture is painted, because they needed to show a ignorant message to the Iron Age and they painted it , because they couldn't take a photo, because there were no camera's.

  18. I see a man looking on his hand and holding a hook. The second one is I can see a man and a black horse. the third one is that a man is sitting on the carriage and I can see a two white horses. I think the man who is looking on is hand is counting some numbers and I think he is holding the hook is because to pull carriage. The second one is I think the man is pulling the large black horse because the horse might stare something or eating grass. The third one is that I see a man and siting on the carriage and two beautiful white horse. There still something that are still here like horse,wheels,symbols and some designs to.I think this is painted because they use to paint there drawing a lot.

  19. I can see that ancient Egyptians with a chariot and horses that a pulling the chariots. I think the ancient Egyptians are gonna ride the chariots or horses and the man about to break something like the stone in front of him .

    Some people still use chariots and horses maybe for weddings or fancy stuff like a party. I think this was painted so they can remember the chariots and horses a nd the special stone .

  20. I think greek artist made it . In this picture there are 3 horses 3 men! I think at the top there is the god and it’s looking at earth and he’s not impressed. At the bottom picture there is a man or lady tacking a ride in the carriage properly that means good. But on the top one There is a man also tacking a ride but now he's not tacking the animal well not so pr0perly so this is bad. Now we know that good always wins against bad!

  22. I can see three people and three horses and it's looks like they are working.
    The horses are the only things that we can still use now. I belive that picture was painted to show the people the culture and the way how they were working in the past.

  25. I can see 2 men working for the king. One of them is cleaning a piece of wood with a towell (we still use a towell) and the other one is chaning the horses up. I think that what is going on in that picture is that two men are working for the king. This picture is painted because in that times they didnt how any colouring pencils.

  26. In the picture I can see an old man that I think is a farmer. He looks badly shaven and his clothes look poor. He also has a wooden stick that looks like a hook.Behind him I can see some hieroglyphs, maybe he is counting the crops. In the other picture I can see a black horse and a chariot.The chariot was tied to its saddle. In the last picture I can see a wooden charriot that I think was used as a taxi.It was resting under a tree, which I think was a fig tree, because they were hot and tired.I think the chariot was transporting a lot of people, that's why the horses are tired. The only things that we still use today are clothes, horses and saddles.I my opinion the picture was painted to make it stand out a bit more, it wasn't really visible,because it was old and it was made out of rock.
