Common Questions about the Ancient Egyptians

Posted on

Ancient Egyptians in art and hieroglyphs had different skin tones, showing the various ethnicities in the area. Many had black hair and styled it in different ways, sometimes even using wigs instead.

Men typically sported beards, and both sexes wore makeup, including kohl around the eyes, believed to have protective properties. They usually made their clothing from linen, and both genders popularly wore jewelry. It’s important to note that artistic conventions in Egyptian art may not always accurately reflect their true physical appearance.

The Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, located in Alexandria, Egypt, is a historical archaeological site considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. The necropolis consists of a series of Alexandrian tombs, statues, and archaeological objects of the Pharaonic funeral cult with Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman influences. The catacombs were likely used as a burial site from the 2nd century to the 4th century AD. The name ‘Kom el Shoqafa’ translates to ‘Mound of Shards’, referring to the heaps of pottery and terra cotta that were left by visitors who would eat food during their visit, then break their plates, as it was considered unlucky to take them back home.
