Abstract

Abstract: The research discusses the aesthetic elements in ancient  Egyptian inscriptions from a semiological  perspective, highlighting the role of the five senses in perceiving and appreciating beauty. It begins by addressing  how the senses shape our understanding of the things around us, presenting examples of  human emotions when witnessing beautiful scenes in nature, such as the sea or flowers, and emphasizing the role of beauty in refining behavior and enhancing  feelings. The research also explains that beauty is the first thing that captures human attention and is defined in the Arabic lexicon as a concept that expresses good qualities, while philosophers see it as a relationship between forms that can be perceived through artistic taste. This led to the emergence of the idea of  “aesthetics"  or the science of beauty, which focuses on understanding the impact of art and beauty on human emotions and sensations and aims to establish critical standards to help people appreciate and better understand the arts. The research further emphasizes the close relationship between beauty and art, considering them as two sides of the same coin, as they share the same goal of experiencing sensory and spiritual pleasure. It explains that beauty and art are constant across ages and generations, and can be appreciated by everyone regardless of age, culture, or language. It also addresses the role of aesthetic scholars in studying various forms of art, interpreting their relationship with human emotions, and helping people to better understand and appreciate art. In conclusion, the research invites the reader to perceive the depth of ancient Egyptian art and to contemplate the symbols and signs used during that period, encouraging them to feel the beauty of these artworks as if they were alive. It promotes an understanding of semiological aesthetics by analyzing Egyptian inscriptions throughout different eras .
