What were the living customs of the ancient Egyptians before 3100 AD?

Consider the book Food and Feasts in Ancient Egypt. The Winking Wind Festival in Egypt originated during the Pharaonic period of Ancient Egypt before 2700 BC and is one of the oldest festivals still alive in the world today. During the time of the Pharaohs, the Festival of Winking Winds was the ancient Egyptians' celebration of the coming of spring, which is why they also called it the Spring Festival. The ancient Egyptians chose the day of the vernal equinox, which they believed to be the birth of the world, as the day of the spring equinox, according to the changing of the seasons. The festival became official in the late Third Dynasty of Egypt, when it was called Shamo, meaning the revival of all things. Later it evolved into shamm (smell) plus nessim (breeze) into Sham el-Nessim. Wind Festival time is not fixed every year, usually in late March to April, on the second day of Easter. On this day, the whole of Egypt is on vacation, and trekking and picnicking are the main elements of the festival. There are five main characteristics of Egyptian "Spring Festival" food: colored eggs, pickled fish, onions, lettuce and Homs beans. /travel/20106/201062915235515.shtml Ancient Egyptian Clothing Ancient Egyptian clothing is mainly linen fabric, weaving is very delicate, and can even have the effect of cicada wing yarn, silk. There are also a few Egyptians have also worn woolen, fur coats. High-quality leather was also one of the Egyptians' clothing materials, and military uniforms had long since begun to use leather for body armor. By the 1st century BC, cotton and silk were introduced to Egypt. Ancient Egyptians often paired snow-white clothing with light-colored fabrics for an elegant effect. Many bright colors were boldly used in the rims and ornaments of their clothes and were extremely toned down with their wigs. The materials used for their ornaments were various precious stones, enamel, colored glazed ceramics, and gold. The motifs were geometric drawings, flora and fauna, and motifs of specific meanings. Ancient Egyptian clothing composition is extremely simple. There are rope clothes ligature, pleated loin cloth, no pleated tightly wrapped the whole body of the tube-shaped tight dress Tunic, loose through the head clothing karasilis, shawl cape, skirt skirt, robe Robe and so on. Egyptian clothing on the means of decoration is extremely rich. Women's tube-shaped tight dresses, shawls in color, pattern, decoration than men's clothing rich. Ancient Egyptian burial customs - mummies mummies are specially treated and well-preserved corpses. Before and after more than three thousand years period, the ancient Egyptians will be made of the body mummy method has changed a lot. However, most scholars and experts believe that the embalming method developed to its peak around the tenth century B.C., when a first-rate embalmer made mummies in roughly the following step-by-step manner: first, a 10-centimeter-long incision was made in the left side of the body's abdomen with a flint knife, and from the incision all the internal organs other than the heart (which was considered by the embalmer and his patron to be a source of emotion) were pulled out, one by one, and washed with wine and spices containing myrrh and cinnamon. and spices containing myrrh and cinnamon. The embalmer also washes the abdominal cavity with cedar oil to break down the remaining soft tissue, and then prepares the brain by inserting a hooked instrument through the nostrils of the deceased's head, hooking out the medulla oblongata, and then pouring in the cedar oil and spices to flush out the remaining tissue from the brain case. After every part of the body has been thoroughly cleaned, the embalmer buries all the organs and the body in a heap of powdered soda (a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) to drain away the water. The body and organs are buried in the powder for about a month, and when they are taken out, each part is washed again with perfume and spices. The embalmer must be carefully engaged in every step of the embalming work from the beginning to the end, such as wrapping each finger of the body at the beginning so that the nails will not be damaged or lose their nails. Then, the embalmer wrapped the dried viscera in burlap and placed them back into the abdominal cavity (or individually in clay or plaster jars), filling the cavity with fillings such as sawdust, burlap, tar, or mud. After filling and placing, the incision is then sutured. Since the blistering soda had damaged some of the hair, it was necessary to make up some wigs, which were braided together with the real hair that had not been removed; the inside of the eye sockets also needed to be fitted with false eyes. The restoration of the body's appearance was the most labor-intensive task, as it was not easy to restore a shriveled body to its original appearance. The embalmer performs this ancient plastic surgery by carefully making many tiny incisions in various parts of the body and filling the skin with linen stuffing molded to the body's contours, just as a twentieth-century plastic surgeon injects silicone into a living person. Even the face and neck of the body are made to look as if it were alive, and the mouth is stuffed with burlap to make the cheeks full. Finally, the embalmer also acts as a make-up artist, using colored clay called ochre to dye the face and even the entire body of the deceased (red for men and yellow for women). The body is wrapped after the coloring is completed. The embalmer wraps the body's limbs in layers of rosin-soaked burlap, then wraps the head and torso, and finally wraps the whole body. This wrapping work is done slowly and time-consuming, and several mummies are now being unwrapped, the length of the wrapping cloths adding up to more than two kilometers! The embalmer wraps the body and mummifies it, which takes about seventy days. The embalmer then returns the mummy to the bereaved owner, who has probably already prepared a separate coffin for the mummy and built a grave. The whole process of mummification is expensive, in addition to the need for a variety of medicines, spices, protection from evil spirits, amulets, etc., only wrapped in a body, sometimes using more than 1,000 meters of high-quality linen. Therefore, only the king, the king's relatives, the rich and powerful aristocrats can afford to spend, the poor can only be simple, or even hastily done. Herodotus talked about two other cheaper mummy production methods, although it is difficult to ensure the integrity of the body, but more or less to give the poor to the comfort of the soul, and, perhaps it is because of these inexpensive methods of production, the tradition of mummification has been spread and continued. It was not until after the 4th century A.D., when Christianity became dominant in Egypt, that the practice of mummification was abolished. Ancient Egypt specialized in a group of people who made mummification as a profession, mastering the technique and passing it on from generation to generation. In ancient Egypt, mummification and the production of related necessities undoubtedly formed a fairly important and large-scale industry system. The existence of this industry, indicating that the ancient Egyptians have mastered the scientific knowledge of physics, chemistry, medicine and so on. They used as a drying agent of sodium oxide, analyzed by modern science, is a mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, salt and sodium sulfide, it can be seen that the chemical effects of these substances, then already known. There were many religious festivals of this kind in Egypt, almost every four or five days. Each temple had a calendar of the festivals of the year for that temple. For example, a manuscript from the time of Thutmose III from the Hall of Festivals in Karnak, Thebes, registers 54 festivals per year, while the temple of Medinet Habu in the time of Ramses III registers 60 festivals. Roughly speaking, the religious festivals of ancient Egypt were divided into three categories: one was related to the seasons, such as the flooding of the Nile, the growth of plants, etc.; one was related to the pharaohs, such as the coronation of the pharaohs, the 30th anniversary of the pharaoh's accession to the throne, etc.; and the third category was mainly based on the activities of the gods in mythology. /bbs/viewthread.php?tid=113
