Answer by nina
A general characteristic of Egyptian art is the idealistic way Egyptians portrayed pharaohs and other elite people. Such as the perfect symmetry of the face and body. I’m not sure about the three points though.

Ancient Egyptian Tattoos

Tattoos are considered as a form of body art and have a lot of success nowadays. You would think that only teenagers like this form of art but the age difference between one tattoo lover and another can be quite big. The tattoo industry has lots of inspiration points. One of them is the ancient Egypt. They used tattoos for many rituals and were very complex. This led to a great inspiration source for modern tattoo artists and has helped evolve this art quite a bit.

The mummy of Amunet is one of the first examples which were found. These first tattoos which were found thousands of years ago were used by the Egyptians for social and religious reasons. However, today the Egyptian religion has nothing to do with tattoos, more than that it dislikes the idea, but for other people, like tattoo artists, this has been very helpful. Many new design ideas were born thanks to ancient Egyptians. A few of the design ideas are the Egyptian gods like Osiris, Isis or Amun Ra.

There are many things that intrigue people and make them want an Egyptian tattoo even more. Egypt has lots of mysteries which is a really important factor. The pyramids is one of them. There are also many films which are based on Egyptians history or fantasy. The fascination never ends and that’s why many people are attracted by the idea of an Egyptian design.

You would probably think that getting this type of design wouldn’t be original. Well you don’t have to worry about that. There are so many designs out there that it isn’t likely you will see someone with exactly the same pattern as yours. Even better, you could come up with your own idea or you could modify one that you found. There are incredibly many designs you can come up with so you would still be original. An Egyptian tattoo can be very beautiful and also very expensive so make sure you talk with an artist before you decide exactly what you want to do.

The Name and the Cartouche Jewellery in Egyptian History

A person’s name is sacred, it is a part of the soul that never ceases to be. Names were revered by ancient Egyptians and any other known civilization. To manifest a pharaoh’s name in Egypt, a cartouche – an oblong shape containing hieroglyphs – was used.

The remnants of once great tradition is now reflected in an Egyptian jewellery item that is easily obtainable through specialist shops. However, there was a deeper meaning to the cartouche. Many believe that Egyptian naming traditions were far more complicated than initially thought. They allegedly involved astrology, numerology and even a bit of magick.

The Name Has the Power

In ancient Egypt, only a pharaoh had the right to have a cartouche. It contained his nomen (birth name) and prenomen, also know as the throne name. People in Egypt took a great care in naming new born babies. They knew that it would influence the child’s path of life. It is believed that ancient Egyptians consulted the stars to find the right name for a child, but they also considered other factors like names of the parents, the social status of the family, time and place of birth and others.

A name was a sacred thing. There are periods in ancient Egyptian timeline when it was prohibited to use cartouche jewellery and amulets because it was thought that once such an amulet is accessed by an evil-minded person, it can open the name bearer’s soul to negative influence.

What about Numerology?

Although some believe that the father of numerology was Pythagoras who lived around year 500 BCE, it appears that people of the Nile delta used the magick of the numbers long before him. Numerology in ancient Egypt was guarded by Seshat, the enumerator. She was the goddess of the scribes and keeper of the Divine Books.

Each number was a representation of a deity; it also had a certain energetic principle in association with Nature’s cycle. Odd numbers were considered male, while even numbers – female. For example, 3 was Osiris, 4 – Isis and 5 – Horus. A child was given a name according to those numbers and what they represent. As we mentioned before, other factors were considered, too.

Is There Any Power Left?

Nowadays, in black magick and spell casting there are two main attributes that are used to put a bad spell on a person – a photograph or a name.

The cartouche replicas are available from Egyptian jewellery shops across the internet. You might ask, is it safe to wear someone else’s name around your neck? Pharaohs are associated with might and power. The symbols that once represented the kings are now incorporated in jewellery. Therefore those symbols still should contain some energy.

Some people have reported that they feel the power while wearing it; while others find it to be just another beautiful thing to wear around your neck.

Egyptian Cotton in Luxury Bedding

Grown along the Nile River, Egyptian cotton is a luxurious cotton that is often a stable in luxury bedding. Used to make products which are soft, durable, and in general superior to most other materials on the market, this cotton is considered the best materials in luxury bedding.

Other products are made from cotton as well, such as cloth diapers, bathrobes, tablecloths, shirts, tents, stuffed animals, towels, and chef’s coats. The best of the best can be identified by their assertion of containing Egyptian cotton. But what is so great about this particular cotton? Why is it considered the best for luxury bedding, as well as so many other things?

Shocking as it may be, Egyptian cotton comes from Egypt. The Nile River Valley, with it’s unusually humid climate and extremely rich soil creates excellent conditions for growing long cotton fibers. These fibers, otherwise known as staples, are considered ELS, which means extra-long staple cotton. Ranging anywhere from one and a half inches to just over two inches, Egyptian cotton is definitely longer than most. Inferior cotton fibers can be as short as half this length. This long staple length enables Egyptian cotton to be spun into very fine yarns that are not only strong and durable, but are also extremely soft, a must when making luxury bedding.

This cotton is also unusually absorbent. For this reason, many people buy luxury bedding to use instead of paper towels.

Not really.

The ability to absorb such large amounts of liquid actually allows the cotton to absorb large amounts of the dyes that make luxury bedding so very vibrant. The color also lasts longer than the color in most other, lesser cotton products. Other uses for this increased absorbency include bathrobes and bath towels that are both colorful and effective.

So why can’t this cotton just be grown elsewhere in the world? Surely there are similar climate conditions in other areas, right? Well, it kind of can, and is. Although true Egyptian cotton comes from Egypt and Egypt alone, it’s mostly just a trademarked name. The logo of a dark triangle, symbolizing the Egyptian pyramids, with a white cotton plant inside will tell you that the product is true, 100% Egyptian cotton. As cotton is one of Egypt’s best, most profitable markets, they are very eager to hold onto this great reputation.

There also, however, an American version of Egyptian cotton. Known as Pima cotton, from the Pima Indian Reservation, this cotton is in many ways identical. The debate is ongoing as to which cotton is actually superior.
