XVIII th dynasty
One can see the ritual dance of the pygmies for the sunrise, the frenetic dance of warriors, which seems to come straight from the African savanna and the gracious movements of the ballerinas entertaining banquets. Religious rite before becoming amusingly profane, the sacred dance was used in many occasions: processional feasts, funeral, even during cult ceremonies in front of the goddess Hetor. "The Pharaoh lives to dance - He lives to sing - Sovereign queen, see how he dances - Wife of Horus, see how he jumps".
