What is the diffences between Greek art and Egyptian art? This answer is specifically about difference between Greek and Egyptian SCULPTURE. First, the Greek sculptors liberated their figures from the original stone block. The Egyptian obsession with permanence was alien to the Greeks, who were preoccupied with finding ways to represent motion rather than stability in their statues. Second, the kouroi are nude, just as Greek athletes competed nude in the Olympic games, and, in the absence of attributes, Greek youths as well as maidens are formally indistinguishable from Greek statues of deities.

Given the closeness in area in time period, there are many overlaps in the general overall aesthetics of Greek and Roman arts, ranging from materials used to mediums such as sculptures to subject matter of renamed myths and gods. The differences tend to lie in general, tiny aesthetic details given societal differences and other small edits like name changes.

Medicine: people preformed relatively complex surgeries and medical operations

Astronomy: Saw the movements of the planets and recorded the constellations; made the calendar we use today

Mathematics: to help with the fields and building temples mathematics was used

Ancient Greek Characteristics

Greek Art is the original kind of art, where statues become realistic and potraits become more unique and original. Roman Art, on the other hand, is SIMILAR to Greek art. The Romans got inspired by them, and started to do NEARLY the EXACT same thing like the Greeks that time. Basically, Greek Art is the original, Roman is the "more modern" kind.

The Egyptian architecture mostly has something to do with its culture and is harder to build. Also, most of the buildings were larger.
