Love this! All my life I have been touched by a previous lifes knowing. Since I was very young I made Ancient Egyptian Costumes. Starting at age 4 as I made costumes with my brothers receiving blankets. Tied and tucked. At age 19, I made my first gowns and Egyptian wigs and performed Ancient Egyptian dances I made up from divine inspirations. I developed a career; performing, teaching, producing events, leading adventures and sacred moments. All out of my inspirations from Hathor. I danced in temples in Egypt with musicians; harp, drums didgerido, flutes and chorus of women chanters. So amazing . I've danced all over the world for 50 years. Now retired. Thank you for your lovely presentation.

I thought I knew quite a lot about ancient Egypt, but I learned several new facts. Very interesting! One day you should travel to San Jose California, the Rosecretian museum is a must if you love Egyptology.

Also foot wear , padding , is gotten with Felt. It's the first abundance of quick ( respective of hide skinning- tanning / or loom weaving ) Warm soft material.

[@AltoonaYourPiano]

Thank you so much for this wonderfully educational video. I learned quite a lot of things through this. You did such an amazing job making this. It's incredible how little information is readily available about Egypt or any type of prehistoric society. Did you know that they found clay tablets of an ancient Egyptian song? It's from something like 1400 BC. The best way I can describe it is a mixture of Greek music and native American folk music. It's one of those things you have to hear to truly appreciate. Anyways, once again thank you for this video, I'm really excited to hear more installments in this series. I love the way you're so passionate about sharing your knowledge.

[@uniquelymadison]

Thank you for watching! That is so cool about the Egyptian song. The development of music in human history is so interesting.

[@AltoonaYourPiano]

@@uniquelymadison Another thing that's fascinating is how old and new some inventions are. For example, most people would be surprised to learn that the fax machine was only invented 15 years after the match and 85 years _before_ sliced bread. And that the first vending machine dates to the first century in Roman Egypt, invented by Hero of Alexander, it dispensed holy water.

Great video, glad I found this channel! Some famous dress designer (Fortuney? Maybe a woman designer?) copied the styles of the New Kingdom, with all the pleates, but amazing colors and fabrics updating, but really imitating, the look; and was very successful for a time. Very expensive evening wear, and dramatic to the max, if you could afford it. You can still buy a few on the Internet. I'd rather look at these wonderful illustrations/your commentary presented here. Also, the MFA, Boston has an intricately cut-out men's apron made out of leather that is really amazing (in a glass case so you can look right up close 1000s yrs old -gazelle?). Thanks so much for taking on this huge topic. Looking forward to every video to come.👍♥️🤗

Since they had a deep understanding of energy dynamics and its relationship to spiritual beliefs, everything was spiritual in meaning and representation on the body. Colors, shapes, makeup were signatures of spiritual status. The men’s skirts were in the shape of the pyramid which carried a meaning.

Is there a lot of difference from the time of Ikhanton & the rest of Egypt in terms of fashion?

I think the dark helped protect the eyes from glare. Inuit people in prehistoric Alaska had some of the earliest " sunglasses", a thin strip of bone with slits to prevent snow kindness and damage from freezing. I really like these historical shows about things changing through the Centuries.

Ostrich feathers ✓ Afro hair picks ✓ Shells and beads ✓ Braids and locks ✓ Processed flax palm into clothing ✓ Leopard skins shawl ✓ Tribal neck jewelry ✓ Red ochre ✓ Sound like most east African tribes. This could have been a really great video if you would have shown the fashion traditions still carrying on in East Africa ! Why didn't you go that route??

[@uniquelymadison]

Hello Medjay, To answer your question: I research, film, edit, etc. these episodes all by myself, and I try to include as much information as possible. But if I touched on every sub-point, I would never be able to finish a video. Because of this, I have to stick to the main subject point and do my best to give an accurate but simplified summary of it. So while it may be disappointing that I cannot include everything, I am doing the best that I can. 😊

It's never mentioned what ancient Egyptian women wore when menstruating! Do you have any idea? I have always wondered how women coped with things like that in ancient times, because even now with all our modern conveniences it's still a pain in the butt! LOL

[@uniquelymadison]

From my understand, the ancient Egyptians used menstrual loin rags or a version of the tampon, made of papyrus or a similar grass. Mensuration was viewed differently depending on the culture; some women had to live in exile until their time was finished while other cultures, like in Egypt, had less aversion to the cycle.

Ancient clothing reflected your status. As opposed to today where people in America look grubby, dirty, inappropriate and cheap,as well as poor. To me one of the worst things is women who wear leggings and pants so tight you can see their short and curlys!! I'm not approving of fat shaming because I've lost the weight battle about 8 years of age and am now 75. But very few women look good in skin tight clothes. What do y'all think??

Fine production quality and excellent content saves this video. I came here via the British Museum and youtube's algorithm (even though I live in New Orleans) and I was not disappointed. But girlfriend, please, your delivery -- you don't sound human, but rather like an alien trying to be human. Too stilted. Sounds like you're reading. Try sounding more....down home. Can you do that?

The crown for lower Egypt (the Red Deshret Crown) symbolizes the womb (fertility). The crown for upper Egypt (White Hedjet Crown) symbolizes the Thymus gland (at the throat)(vibratory power evoked by speaking). The curled wire in front symbolizes a bees probocis (the rising of vibratory energy) The pschent (/ˈskɛnt/; Greek ψχέντ) was the double crown worn by rulers in ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians generally referred to it as sekhemty (sḫm. ty), the Two Powerful Ones. It combined the White Hedjet Crown of Upper Egypt and the Red Deshret Crown of Lower Egypt.
