one hundred and twenty two
Let’s first look at the convenience. As for this convenience, it mainly refers to the impact on all aspects of human life for people like us who live in the social structure. Why do we say it is an impact? In fact, this is not difficult to understand.
Example:
For example, in our current era, coffee has become a global drink. Everyone knows that coffee has refreshing effects. Now let’s talk about us Chinese. In fact, coffee is not produced in China, so we
The fact that Chinese people can drink coffee is due to trade with other countries. Nowadays, many people in China have learned a lot about coffee. For example, it is easy to see coffee shops on the streets.
, you can even see instant coffee in supermarkets. As for our Chinese people’s habit of drinking coffee, we can define it as caused by trade, which can also be defined as the impact of foreigners’ drinks on us Chinese.
Of course there are more examples, but here we just talk about the general impact of this trade on culture and even other aspects. Then we mainly look at the final impact on Egypt due to the circulation of maritime trade.
and some changes made by local people.
But I think we have to start talking about women, why? After all, I am a man, and I like to talk about women! This is my willfulness, everyone should tolerate me, and now we will talk about it in detail.
When the maritime trade was completely circulated, a large number of foreign cultures and handicrafts, and even various rumors about protecting the skin, had a great impact on the women of our ancestors. Although the women of our ancestors loved beauty very much, for example,
Clothes are dyed or wearing shell bracelets or even shell necklaces, etc., but the aesthetic concept has never been improved, but now it is different. Various cultural inputs have led to the emergence of this aesthetic concept of ancestral women.
There have been earth-shaking changes, but what about women? Not to mention women, but us men. This is also the love of beauty that everyone has. For example, I like to dress myself up very much, and then go to meet beautiful women, especially
The kind that doesn’t wear clothes, haha!
Okay, let’s continue our topic. The ancestral women of this era currently pay great attention to their own appearance modification due to their higher pursuit of the concept of beauty, especially their clothing. The Nile Valley is very hot all year round, so the ancestral women
Their clothing is basically made of linen, which is thin and breathable, and female ancestors usually wear transparent, tight-fitting, suspender-style skirts. The concept of mix and match has even begun to appear, with shirts covered with calf-length skirts.
Transparent, it is transparent! It is a transparent skirt! Then with the advancement of the times, a sudden trend made women wear a piece of linen with pleats about one and a half meters long and 0.8 meters wide.
The body is first wrapped with cloth, then draped over the shoulders, and finally tied with a belt, leaving only one breast exposed!
Seeing this, I guess there are many of our male friends, can you imagine that scene? Indeed, this is still an absolute paradise for us men! Because this kind of pursuit of beautiful dress is not ordinary civilians
circulated among slaves, because basically civilians do not necessarily have these conditions, so women dressed in this way are usually dressed like noble or even high-ranking women. For example, the daughter of a pharaoh may be even more stunning than this!
But it is true that many women among civilians also dress in this style, but there are still some differences between the dress of high-ranking nobles and common women. This difference is mainly due to the difference in financial resources. For example, women of high-ranking and even nobles already have requirements for dressing up at this time.
It is very strict, so there are many craftsmen of exquisite gems and even jewelry among the people, and these women will spend a lot of money in exchange for these jewelry and gems.
There are gold, silver, gemstones, jade, copper, shells and other materials, which are processed into amulets, headbands, earrings, earrings, rings, collars, necklaces, etc., etc., all kinds of jewelry, and the most
The important point is that they actually also decorate their breasts, that is, put jewelry on their breasts. We can't talk about this in too much detail because it is a sensitive word. Anyway, you can just imagine it. Anyway, it is definitely a very stunning picture.
Another is that women have very high requirements for makeup, such as dressing up in the mirror, applying cosmetics, and then spraying perfume. In fact, most of our modern women do these things every day, but we must understand that this kind of makeup
The process is actually part of the daily life of ancestral women. This is completely different from the women in our fast-paced life today. Of course, in today's fast-paced social life, those women who are supported by their wallets or at home
For women who are rich themselves, this kind of makeup is also part of their daily life.
However, in the era of our ancestors, these makeups could be said to be readily available. Why do we say this? Let’s take a look. The makeup of ancestral women included applying eye ointment, rouge, and perfume. The eye ointment was made of square lead or
Malachite is ground into a paste and mixed with oil. Use eye ointment to apply around the eyes and on the eyelashes to make the eyes very charming. Rouge and lipstick are made of an iron oxide red ocher, and then
It is mixed with oil or gum resin and used to smear cheeks and lips, which makes women's complexion more rosy and their lips more sexy.
Then there is the perfume used by ancestral women. They mixed scented flowers with animal or plant oils to make sesame oil or balm, which they applied to their faces or bodies, and they also piled the balm on their hair.
On the wig, let the balm gradually melt and flow onto the wig and body, making them fragrant and charming.
Moreover, the vessels or small bottles containing scented oils and ointments are mostly made of glass, ivory, and alabaster. It can be said that these vessels and bottles themselves are very beautiful and charming.
Another one is men. Men also have a high pursuit of beauty. However, men usually wear a linen suspender-style robe. The lower body of this robe is very fat. Anyway, it is definitely many times inferior to women's clothes. Another one, in fact, men
They also dress themselves up and wear jewelry, such as big earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. The most important thing is that men also wear jewelry on their chests, but I don’t know if this part of a man can be called chest, because I wrote
The other two words cannot be published, so let’s leave it as it is, as long as everyone can understand it.
At this point, some of us may be asking, did I mention the word wig before? In fact, you are right, both men and women in Egypt basically have bald or flat hairstyles. Why? Because of this place
It’s extremely hot, and wearing a wig is for beauty, that’s what we understand here, and we’ll talk about it in detail later.
Then we continue to look at the convenience brought by navigation, which had a huge impact on the nobility and even high-level people after Egypt's huge impact, because Egypt was very powerful at this time, mainly due to the "Code of Hammurabi"
, so this is a very, very powerful empire. It can be said that it is already at its peak. Therefore, during this period, not only the quality of life of civilians and slaves has been relatively improved, but the biggest improvement is
Senior officials and nobles, after all, the rapid development of the maritime industry in the surrounding areas has also led to many countries paying tribute to the Pharaoh in large quantities of gold and silver treasures.
Now let’s talk about high-level men, high-level men or noble men. They generally love beauty very, very much. Of course, the more important point is that they love cleanliness very much! This love of cleanliness? Anyway, I feel it? This seems like
It has been a big problem for our men since ancient times, but the men of our ancestors loved to be clean.
In addition to regular bathing, they also have regulations on the rituals of the gods. It is said that being unclean in front of the gods is disrespectful to the gods! So this leads to shaving and trimming the hair, which also becomes a male
It is an indispensable thing in daily life, and they believe that beards and long hair are particularly easy to hide dirt, especially long hair, which is unhygienic and hot, so they must shave their beards and cut their hair frequently.
In this case, fake beards and wigs came into being, and these became fashionable artifacts for Egyptian nobles and even high-ranking men to appear in public.
Even these wigs are not simple. One wig has 300 little braids, and each little braid uses more than 400 hairs. Think about it, how exquisite it is, even our descendants will be amazed.
.
Finally, let’s talk about the greening that our ancestors actually paid great attention to. They were very original in designing the gardens around their houses. Even the most ordinary civilians would build courtyards around their houses and plant one or two trees to let their
The living environment looks elegant and lively. Let's talk about the high-level officials. Almost every one of them has a large garden. The garden even has a pond as the center, and wooden pavilions are built next to the pond, or trees are planted.
Flowers and plants. They would store water in the pond, raise fish, and then use the water in the pond to water the flowers, plants and trees, or enjoy the shade in the pavilion, entertain friends, etc.
The pond in the Pharaoh's palace is as big as a lake, and you can even row boats in it. This architectural style not only influenced the entire ancestor's era, but also influenced the European architectural style in the Middle Ages.
Then let’s look at other influences. Because many countries currently pay tribute to the Pharaoh, the Pharaoh is very rich. In this way, senior officials and even nobles generally have a lot of free time, so they begin to learn how to spend their time. So far
