In general, the Naqada civilization and the pre-dynastic era are no less important than the rest of the eras, but rather it is the origin of ancient Egyptian civilization. Through the decorative themes on pottery in the Naqada civilization, one can learn about social customs, as well as the practice of rituals in daily life, and the types of animals, birds and plants that were used as decorative components, and know the quality of the use of pots and their transformation into drawings and engravings, whether for pots with a religious or decorative purpose, as the decoration on pottery has a significance and meaning in identifying the original culture, history and the extent of Progress and stability.
