Egyptian Hieroglyph Picture Explanation


In class, everybody decided to depict a different scene that is typical of Ancient Egyptian art. Here is mine:
This is a picture of the Egyptian god Horus, or the god of light. He basically controls the weather, so I tried to show him responding to a priest's prayer. On Earth, there's a thunderstorm. The crops are drowning from all the water, so the priest is praying and giving an offering to Horus, begging the god to give them light again.
