      AmiWhiteWolf Ancient Egyptians, were VERY superstitious! Just like any other Ancient Culture! As a matter if fact, about half of the world is still very superstitious! Take countries like Japan, China, Africa, Indonesia, etc. Then, in the U.S, you have states like Arkansas, New Mexico, parts of Florida and Georgia, and Louisiana (Especially on New Orleans!).

    • @wahmanwahman386
      @wahmanwahman386 Před 6 lety +13

      AmiWhiteWolf No, they shaved their heads as it would get extremely hot and humid in Egypt causing them to get really sweaty so they put bees wax on their heads then put these wigs on as they were easier than having their own hair. The only reason they don't do it anymore is because of air conditioning.

    • @chelsear9483
      @chelsear9483 Před 6 lety +16

      That and to protect their eyes from the sun shining on them and the of their skin. Similar to why football players mark their cheecks with black.
      They also shaved their heads due to lice. Lice was very common back then.

      The sentence "The eyes are the soul's window" makes more sense after that explanation.

      Actually, Cleopatra VII and most of the female Pharaohs would have worn an expensive black wig for ceremonial occasions. Other times, they wore their natural hair with a laurel, as typical of other leaders and influencers of Greek and Hellenistic culture.
      She almost definitely did not have black hair.

      All the Cleopatras are the progeny of Ptolemy I, who was a general under Alexander the Great. Ptolemy and Alexander were Macedonian Greeks with a sense of Hellenic superiority. However, the family Ptolemy I inbred. Cleopatra was the product of years of inbreeding, and she was proud of her heritage. She normally wore the Greek-style laurels, as depicted in ancient busts. But on occasions of state in front of the Egyptian masses, she wore the beard and wig.
      For the ignorant, a wig is a way of hiding. But wigs were very expensive, and they were a way of showing your rank in the world.

    No fair - their makeup actually helped them.

I do work in theater, and can say that I'd rely heavily on your videos for actors' makeup when doing a period piece, so this is hugely resourceful for me. Have you considered doing a Baroque era (ie. Marie Antoinette inspired) look for a future video? I think that would be a really fun look to research and find out more about. :)

      You are right, Jona! (Great memory!) Victorian women of society really only wore a tiny amount of rouge and lip stain and that was it. It would be an interesting era to research though ... maybe do a contrast between societal women and prostitutes of the time! ;)

    Upper class egyptians didn't have sunkissed skin. Pale skin was coveted because it showed you didn't do physical labor. It was also said that cleopatra was rumored to be a dimi goddess becauase she was born with rare pale skin.

    • @garrusn7702
      @garrusn7702 Před 7 lety +11

      That isn't true, the last part. She was white because she was a Greek from the Ptolemaic greek dynasty.

    • @susiechoban1542
      @susiechoban1542 Před 6 lety +9

      Cleopatra had pale skin indeed, because she wasn’t Egyptian. As a Ptolemaic monarch, she was Macedonian (and not Greek either). “Pale” skin wasn’t that rare, for there had been a Hellenistic population that migrated following Ptolemy.
      In Ancient Egypt, monarchs were considered to be divine, as god-kings.

    • @debracloud2061
      @debracloud2061 Před 5 lety +2

      Pale skin was not coveted because "it meant that you didn't do physical labor". All Pharoahs were of Macedonian and Greek origin and therefore had white skin. So to be white meant that you were part of the ruling class.

  • @MsCephalopod
    @MsCephalopod Před 8 lety +351

    "I picture Egyptians as having a more sun kissed look." It's okay. You can say it. Egyptians aren't frikkin white people. In fact, it's heavily debated whether or not ancient Egyptians (of various eras of the Egyptian empire) were black. Cleopatra almost certainly had a heavy amount of european ancestry, but the general populus was at most a blend of African and European ancestry (probably biased towards African)

    • @theEXOinvasion
      @theEXOinvasion Před 8 lety +104

      Cleopatra was entirely Greek, but I agree on the fact that most Egyptians are mixed of North African, Med. Euro, and Middle Eastern. A lot of skin tones vary so it's more to each their own. My aunt is Egyptian, but very light skinned, but also has super dark curly hair. It really varies.

    • @elhamali9619
      @elhamali9619 Před 8 lety +67

      ancient Egyptians weren't black. they were (in Arabic we call them) phara3in, or Pharaohs. made up of Berbers & asiatics.....

    • @MsCephalopod
      @MsCephalopod Před 8 lety +38

      Okay but my main point was that they weren't white people. Not white does not strictly mean black. In fact, I even said they were most likely a blend of African + other... aka still not white.

    • @arisnikolaou5204
      @arisnikolaou5204 Před 8 lety +45

      Cleopatra was 100% Greek because the greek rulers of Egypt at the time didn't want to mix with the locals, so they were marrying each other, which means she was European/white. Ancient Egyptians on the other hand were more dark skinned as most middle eastern people.
