We like to imagine ancient Egypt as a rich civilization, but while agriculture along the Nile did support a large population, the society was characterized by remarkable socioeconomic inequality.

There's probably a ton of perspective errors in here, but it was nonetheless fun practice for drawing cityscapes.
