Explanation: Durable materials like stone and paintings in tombs and temples survive well, so we have a large corpus of Egyptian art. But perishable media (wood, textiles, papyrus, painted plaster) and many works destroyed by reuse, looting, or weathering mean what survives is only part of the original output.
