Human creative expression and artifacts
Human beings certainly need to express themselves through generated artifacts. It is a form of communication by itself and can bring people together as the customs linked with objects tends to match among a group of people hence assembling them. Above all, some artifacts such as cave painting and drawings aid in human memory. The tomb of King Tut artifacts expressed the culture of ancient Egypt and the broader eastern Mediterranean, the life of the king and his mysterious death. Given the multi-room tomb satiated with thousands of precious objects where he was buried, Tut was a demigod in his time as a ruler despite being a minor since we learned that prominent rulers were buried alongside numerous objects.
Impact of culture on human creative expression
The human creative expression is impacted by the culture in which it was created. Inside the tomb which had four rooms were pieces of jewelry and gold, sculpture, furniture, clothes, chariot, weapons and golden coffins. The culture of ancient Egypt at the time was characterized by monotheism, superiority, belief in life after death and great taste of gold, jewelry, entertainment, furniture, and fashion. All these are depicted by the objects discovered in the tomb of King Tut. Artifacts such as music, literature, and paintings are deliberated to be the fountain of a people's shared memory thereby conveying their culture.
The impact of the discovery of King Tut's tomb
The world went crazy in 1922 when the tomb of King Tut was discovered bringing light to the fact that human creative expression impact on issues we deal with today. The ancient Egyptian jewelry, fashion, and even chairs were the talk of the town then (Hawass, et al., 2010). The artifacts have been toured around the globe, and thousands of people including college and university students have attended the artifact's exhibition and gained knowledge in the field of archaeology. Moreover, art can help unite people as it is used as psychotherapy. As learned from the course, creative expression is a form of communication. Hence, it can be used to bring people together for a shared path.
