In ancient egypt, representations of figures often took on enlarged proportions not realistic to scale and were only represented from certain perspectives, resulting in a depiction that was not realistic. why did ancient egyptians do this?

Ancient Egypt is known for the pyramids, the Sphinx and the figures. The civilization was situated along the river Nile. If we talk about the figures, each of the figures represent some character. After the studying of these figures by the archaeologist, it was found that they depicted the royal imagery, God and Goddess. The ancient Egyptians depicted figures into the non-realistic features to showcase their traditions, and beliefs in the afterlife.
