- Afterwards, you can visit the ancient Egyptian papyrus art painting to learn about the ancient traditional paper-making process of papyrus art.
- Papyrus, the ancient Egyptian, used its rod to make paper. This is done by cutting the rod of the plant to an appropriate size then cutting it from one of the faces, and then flattening the cut papyrus with a tool. Then, when the flat papyrus bar is not dry, several grass blades are laid out in a vertical and horizontal manner as a weaving. Finally, the tool is used to flatten out the water, so that after drying, the one is completed.
- Ancient Egyptians used "grass paper" as a writing instrument, and many of the famous "Book of the Dead" were written on this paper. The Book of the Dead can be seen as a guide for the dead to go to the country, and the content is a spell that tells the undead to reach the "Truth of Truth" to obtain eternal life. Therefore, in many unearthed tombs, the "Book of the Dead" written in the "Cobbled Paper" made by "Papyrus" can be seen and excavated as a funerary.
- Papyrus is mainly distributed in the Nile Valley, with a large distribution in the Nile Delta of Egypt and the southern part of Sudan in the upper reaches and the swamps of northwestern Kenya. It is mainly planted in Egypt, and in the Sudan and Kenya are wild paper stalks. The paper made from papyrus is called papyrus, and the painting made with special paint on papyrus is the famous sedge painting.
- Then visit the famous Golden Eagle [Egyptian Flavor]. The Egyptian essence is derived from the trees and flowers of nature. It is one of Egypt's classic national treasures. It has formed a unique ancient flavor culture in the Pharaonic era. From ancient times through time and space, has been flowing to today, it has almost become an immortal elf, the ancient and modern. "--Hadeb writer of Egypt
- The Egyptian scientist Dr. Mohamed Schmidt has a paper on the study of the essence of ancient Egypt. According to him, the lush vegetation, superior climatic conditions and the level of civilization reached by ancient Egyptian society gave birth to and prospered the culture of the fragrance at that time. Fragrance plays a pivotal role in both religious and secular life.
- The ancient Egyptians first refined the spices back to 4000 BC. Spread over the ruins of the vast temples on both sides of the Nile, the ancient essence laboratory remains. In the sealed stone room, the walls are engraved with beautiful hieroglyphics and bas-relief paintings, documenting many of the flavors and balsams of all time. These processes of configuring fragrances are as strict and mysterious as formulating potions.
- The ancient Egyptians harvested flowers twice a year in winter and summer, wrapped in vanilla and petals, and the two people kept tightening the cloth strips, squeezed the juice from the flowers, and then filtered and fermented a series of meticulous processes. Finally, all kinds of flavors are produced. The essence of Egypt is alcohol-free, fat-free and does not volatilise. It is said that a bottle of 10 ounces of essence needs to concentrate the essence of hundreds of thousands of flowers.
- Egyptian craftsmen of the Pharaonic era created glass essence bottles to make matching containers for their perfumes, essential oils or balms. At the same time, use alabaster products to place precious ointments – especially those used in the complex processes used to make mummies.

FAQs
- To begin your journey to tour the Great Pyramid, you will have to visit Cairo, Egypt. Cairo is located in northeast Africa near the mouth of the Nile River.
- You will see that the surrounding territory is brown, dry desert and that there is a green stripe extending from south (Upper Egypt) to north (Lower Egypt) along the Nile River. This green stripe is the fertile farmland along the floodplain of the Nile, where the Ancient Egyptians grew primarily barley and wheat.
- As you arrive you will note that there are three immense pyramids in the desert just west of Cairo, along with several smaller pyramids, other rectangular structures and a large statue of a Sphinx. A sphinx is a mythical/religious creature with the head of a human and body of a lion.
- Archaeologists believe that the pyramids were not built by slaves, but by the Egyptians themselves. Some of these workers were potentially farmers, who likely had time to work on the pyramids after they were finished with harvest.
- It is also possible that farmers would have had time to work on the pyramids during the part of the year when the Nile was flooded, before planting took place. Slaves were needed to support the workmen during the construction, bringing food and water and providing other services as needed.
- Slaves were also commanded to make mud bricks, which were used to create other structures. Master builders, who directed the important work with stones, were of a higher social class. They lived in houses in a village at the base of the pyramid.
- Other Egyptian workmen who were helping with the pyramid building lived in more temporary housing in this village. They were paid with food rations.
- In this village archaeologists have found evidence of bakeries and fish processing areas among other services. They have discovered bones of poultry, sheep and pigs, as well as some beef, which was an expensive luxury. In cemeteries for the workmen, their bodies have been found buried with their tools and with food for their afterlife journey.
- Among these temples, we find the seven great temples and monuments of Luxor: Goornah, Deir-el-Bahari, the Colossi of Memnon, the Ramesseum, and Medinet Habu on the West Bank; and Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple on the East Bank.
- The Abu Simbel temple was constructed as a place for people to worship Pharaoh Ramses II as a god following his death, as well as to be a show of power toward the recently conquered territory of Nubia. The most notable feature of the Abu Simbel temple are the four colossal statues of Ramses II on the outside.
- Abundant in natural resources and beauty, Hurghada's name comes from a native plant to the area, and today is visited by many for its colorful coral reefs, luxurious resorts, beautiful dessert escapes, and refreshing Red Sea activities.
