anceint egypt topic

this is what i have learned ..........

Khufu pyramid at Giza

it was built in 2560-2540.BC
it's height is 146.5 meters (ancient)

now its 136.8 meters.




Inside a pyramid

pyramids were built as burial places of ancient Egyptian kings.

The  pyramid properly took around 20 years to build.

granite doors and false passage ways were built  to deter robbers.

however by 1000 BC all the pyramids had been robbed of there precious contents.  


 

fashion and beauty

Egyptian men and women used black or green eye paint made from ground minerals.


women also liked to rough their cheeks and paint their lips red.

  1. Did you also know that for posh parties, Egyptians would put cones made from animal fat ( like lard) and perfumed oils on their heads so that it would melt and slowly release the perfumes into their hair? That seems pretty odd doesn't it?
