1. Skin care with gold
In ancient Egypt, aristocratic women exchanged a secret of skin care to have the beauty of their goddess. It was not until the end of the 20th century that this secret was deciphered by archaeologists in France.
While studying the remains of noble Egyptians, archaeologists discovered the composition of pure gold.
This proves that the ancient Egyptians sewed tiny gold threads into the bottom of the skin. This not only keeps the skin young, elastic, removes wrinkles but also gives the skin a slightly sparkling white skin, like it is shining.
2. High and worship cats
Ancient Egyptians loved all animals but for them cats were the most sacred animals that played an important role in spiritual life for a long time.
The reason is that the people of Egypt at that time worshiped the goddess Bastet, a god of blessing and protection for human beings, whose god shaped the cat.
For the ancient Egyptians, the cat's bright eyes in the night were like moonlight in the dark night. If there is a fire in the house, the cat will be the first priority to be saved.
Family members will mourn and show grief when the sacred animal dies by shaving its eyebrows.
If someone accidentally or intentionally kills a cat, he will also face the anger of the crowds of Egyptians and suffer punishment by being thrown into a pit full of poisonous snakes.
When a cat dies, the ancient Egyptians will mummify and bury it in a cat cemetery with mummies of mice. A bowl of milk is also buried with the body of the cat so that it will not starve to the afterlife.
80,000 mummies of cats in a large grave were discovered by a farmer in 1888.
3. Giraffes are used as gifts and show strength
In ancient Egypt, giraffes were considered to be very impressive and luxurious animals. They are used by those in power as gifts and show strength.
From 2,500 BC, in Egypt, the kings captured deer and marched in front of the people.
4. Duat Hell
In the spiritual world of Egyptian culture there is a place called Duat, which is quite similar to the Earth but exists many strange elements such as the Lake of Fire and the Iron Wall. Duat is governed by Shen Rong Osiris - the god of life and death.
After death, the soul must cross the 7 doors, guarded by half-human, half-animal monsters.
After passing through all those doors, the heart of the dead will be placed on a scale and scales with the goddess Maat's feather.
If the heart is as heavy as the feather, it proves that he is pure and honest, they will be entered into the kingdom of God Osiris.
If the person is not pure and still too ambitious, their heart will be heavier, they will be eaten by the demon Ammut, and the soul will be punished according to the rules here.
