The art of carving walls and columns in ancient Egypt started around the Early Dynastic Period (about 3150 – 2613 BCE). It reached its peak during the Old Kingdom, especially under Pharaoh Djoser, who built the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. During this time, stone carving and the use of hieroglyphics for religious and official purposes became highly advanced. Ancient Egyptian artists were talented in creating detailed carvings that showed gods, pharaohs, and daily life scenes. These carvings served both as decoration and for practical uses. For example, the carvings on the Luxor Temple walls were mainly done during the reigns of Amenhotep III and Ramesses II.
