No, my skin tone is closer to a sickly Victorian child with vampires for parents

As a man, yeah, I’d be the prettiest Egyptian princess

The ancient Egyptians thought the most important thing you could do in life was die.

Imagine you're chilling in ancient Egypt and some girls like
"HER WEAVE FELL OUT OMG"
"SHE BALLDDDD"

Almond-shaped eyes are considered to be a beauty standard and a defining look for us Bengalis as well, namely for Bengali women. It was really interesting to hear eyes described like that by the ancient Egyptians.

There is an Ancient Egyptian poem written by a man for his beloved, in which he praised her 'pale skin, small waist, generous buttocks and breasts' and it made me realize nothing has really changed all that much.

You teach me so much about history, more than my social studies teacher. I love being able to go to sleep with a bunch of new information about the people who were here before I was!

And now Cleopatra eyeliners is cool again. Seems like people like tall slim nose no matter what century.

I’d be treated like i was some fashion model

They used wigs and extensions because vermin such as lice and bedbugs were rampant in ancient Egypt, so generally they shaved their heads and wore wigs to avoid this horrible affliction; thats why we also found so many combs from this era, many were beautifully and delicately carved out of alabaster.

They also used cinnamon and different kinds of oils and lavender as perfume.

[HAIRHOLIC_]

The description is literally me, that’s so nice to know that I could have been an ancient Egyptian baddie 🤣🤣. It’s interesting because I’m East African so those traits are very common in this region

That bust of Nefertiri (in the Berlin Museum) is one of the most beautiful pieces of art work I've ever seen in person. Suffice it to say I do not look like her.☹️
