With the beginning of the Old Kingdom, centered at Memphis (2680-2258 B.C.), there was a rapid development of the stylistic conventions that characterized Egyptian art throughout its history. In relief sculpture and painting, the human figure was usually represented with the head in profile, the eye and shoulders in front view, and the pelvis, legs, and feet in profile (the law of frontality). There was little attempt at plastic or spatial illusionism. The reliefs were very low; relief and shallow intaglio are often found in the same piece. Color was applied in flat tones, and there was no attempt at linear perspective. A relief masterpiece from the I dynasty is the palette of Namer (Cairo). It represents animal and human forms in scenes of battle with the ground divided into registers and with emphasis on silhouette in the carving. In statuary in the round various standing and seated types were developed, but there was strict adherence to the law of frontality and a tendency to emphasize symmetry and to minimize suggestion of movement. Outstanding Old Kingdom examples of sculpture in the round are the Great Chephren, in diorite, the Prince Ra-hetep and Princess Neferet, in painted limestone, the Sheik-el-Beled (mayor of the village), in painted wood (all: Cairo), and the Seated Scribe, in painted limestone (Louvre). Probably because of its relative impermanence, painting was little used as a medium of representation; it appears to have served principally as accessory to sculpture. A rare example is the painting of geese from a tomb at Medum (Cairo). Religious beliefs of the period held that the happy posthumous existence of the dead depended on the continuation of all phases of their earthly life. The artist's task was therefore to produce a statement of reality in the most durable materials at his command. Tombs were decorated with domestic, military, hunting, and ceremonial scenes. Entombed with the deceased were statues of him and of his servants and attendants, often shown at characteristic occupations.
Some are hieroglyphics, temples, pyramids, medicines, papyrus (an ancient form of paper), and the worlds 1st surgeries. Calender, books, geometry
Some accomplishments of the Ancient Egyptians are developing Hieroglyphics, the calender, papyrus(a type of paper), and the compass. And there are lots more that I can't think of right now.

The Egyptians had many great accomplishments. One of the most well known is the pyramids. Much work and labor went into building these wonders of the ancient world. The pyramids were actually aligned with the stars, so the Egyptians had knowledge of astronomy. They were also notorious for their hieroglyphic system of writing. Some things you may not know is that the Egyptians developed medicines, mathematics, glass art, temple wall art, realistic art, and the world's first 365 day calendar.
