Jewelry and ornaments

Ancient Egyptian attire, with the exception of nobility’s garments, was simple and unadorned. Color and wealth were displayed through accessories, mainly jewelry, which both men and women wore. The simple white pleated clothing was often richly enhanced with wide collars made of shells, beads, flowers, and precious stones set in gold – a style that originated during the Old Kingdom. However these decorative pieces were only a sample of the range of jewelry available. Jewelry was part of ancient Egyptian wardrobe since before the Dynasties and Egyptians had mastered the art of jewelry making. Necklaces, armlets, bracelets, and anklets were made of gold, coral, pearl, agate, onyx, and chalcedony. Silver was the substance of the gods’ bones and was mainly used for ornamentation.

Accessories also had religious or political significance. The pharaohs’ regalia was highly symbolic. The cobra, worn on both the crown and the hood-like head-dress, was a symbol exclusive to kings in Egypt. And so was the ankh, which was a sacred sign of life. The crook and flail represented authority over the land and the people. Amulets, such as scarab beetles, were worn in life and then buried with the dead for protection.

Flowers were often used as adornment, not only for their beauty, but also for their sacred qualities. Archeologists have found mummies wearing collars of flowers. These were often used in religious ceremonies.

Hair and head-dresses

Hair styles indicated a person’s position. Children’s hair, for example, was short with a long strand falling from the right-hand side of the head. Married women often wore shoulder-length locks, which framed the face while the rest of the hair fell down the back of the head. Premarital women and young servant girls sometimes held their hair with ringlets to either side of the face.

Hair could be either concealed or revealed by a head-dress. The most famous of ancient Egyptian headgear were the pharaohs’ crowns, such as the red crown of Lower Egypt, the towering white crown of Upper Egypt, the double crown of united Egypt (i.e. the combined red and white crowns), and the blue crown of battle.

The ubiquitous fabric head-dress, the bulky klaft, primarily served to protect the wearer from the heat of the sun. Made from a thick material, it was fixed at the temples and fell in folds over the shoulders.

Wigs were worn by both men and women. They had both a functional and aesthetic purpose. Because of the heat and the habitual preoccupation with cleanliness, royalty and the nobility shaved their heads and wore wigs made of real hair. The poor, on the other hand, wore wigs made of wool. Cleopatra is known to have possessed wigs in several hair shades. Women’s wigs reached their greatest proportions in the New Kingdom, falling below the shoulder and featuring ornate accessories such as gold bands and rings, colored glass and jewels. Men wore wigs mainly for religious events.

Footwear

Prior to the 9th century B.C., there is little evidence of footwear being worn by either kings or priests, nor in depictions of deities. However, by 814 B.C., sandals appeared. They consisted of two straps and a sole and protected the feet from the hot desert sand, while keeping them cool. Both men and women wore the same type of sandals, made in a coiled technique using grass and clean palm leaves, papyrus, wood, and goat skin. Shoes were for indoor wear; they would be carried during a journey, and put on when a party arrived at their destination.

Beauty and grooming

Hygiene was very important in ancient Egypt, in part due to the local climate and life conditions. Egyptians followed strict grooming regimes, often dictated by decrees. They had their skin exfoliated, rubbed their bodies with oils, body scrubs, or incense, cleaned their teeth by chewing the root of Salvadora persica, and kept their breath fresh by gargling with milk and chewing herbs.

Both men and women wore make-up. Women lightened their skin with a yellow ocher color. Men used orange-tinted paint to darken their face skin. Black kohl or green malachite powder was used to underline the eyes. Eyebrows were enhanced with grey powder. Red lip gloss was mixed from fat and ocher. Rouge was also popular.

Make-up and perfumes were made and sold by priests who kept their formulas secret. They extracted the scent from plants and flowers by steeping them in oil to create an essential oil. The substance was stored in cloth and later tightly wrung to collect the perfume drops.

More than likely, you have heard about the latest sensation sweeping the nation -or the globe for that matter. Oprah Winfrey was so excited about it that she dedicated two shows to it because the response to the first one was so overwhelming that reactions and questions overflowed her website -resulting in the biggest response ever to a single subject in the history of her run on Network T.V. If by some small chance you don’t know what I am talking about, let me back up here.

In 2006 the creator of this world wide phenomenon was “Given the first glimps of a great secret!” Her life was literally falling apart at the seams. Her father died unexpectedly, her personal and professional relationships were suffering and she was at one of the lowest points of her entire life. It was at this time that her daughter Haley gave her a book entitled “The Science of Getting Rich” That had been written in the early 1900s by a man named Wallace Wattles. The book and its contents literally changed her life!

Determined to get the message out she researched its ideas and principles and traced it as far back as the “Jade Tablet” this was an Egyptian Artifact that told of a secret that promised – and more astonishing still, was said to deliver unlimited wealth to any and all who practiced its process! As time went on the Romans got their hands on what they believed was the sacred relic. However, it was not the actual tablet itself, for the real tablet had been buried and someone had merely transferred its duplicate on to a secondary medium unbeknownst to the Roman Empire. It was then said to have been banned by the Roman Catholic Church. As even more time went by, eventually this information found its way back into the mainstream only to be coveted by those who had learned of its potential power and an agreement was then made to not allow its secret to be passed on the the general public. Those who knew the secret wanted to keep it from others -so that they could have more for themselves.

Those who came across “The Secret” by their own means of sheer will and fortitude – became the greatest names in history. Aristotle, Shakespeare, Hugo, Abraham Lincoln, Carnagie and Edison to name just a few…they knew “The Secret”. Now it available to those who wish to implement its principles for control and gain in their own lives. So, you may now be asking “How is this done? As it is explained in the video, there are 3 steps one must fallow to achieve their hearts desire.

Step 1 is first you must Ask. 

Be specific and know exactly what it is you wish to manifest.

Step 2 is you must Believe. 

Believe that what you are asking for is already on its way to you!

Step3 is you will then Receive. 

The idea here is if you are grateful for all you currently have, you can get all you want.

I would suggest that you review the video for yourself and draw your own conclusions, but keep in mind that this whole idea governs around “The Law of Attraction”. Science itself it seems is behind Einsteins question “Is the Universe friendly to our desires?”. Think about it for a minute…why would someone as brilliant as Einstein suggest such a thing? Why do two of the leading experts in the field of Quantum Physics lend their support to this concept -in not only this film, but they and many others also appear in the movie “What The Bleep Do We Know?” The understanding of how “What we think about…we bring about!” has suddenly become a key factor of debate within the Scientific Community.

According to “The Secret”, our attention and our thoughts put us in line with a certain “Channel” or “Frequency” this is what is defined as “The Law of Attraction” it essentially tends to give us what we focus on or think about the most. It does not distinguish between what we do and do not want. It instead looks at what and where we continue to give the majority of our time and attention to thinking about. If you are constantly thinking of pain, suffering and sadness more will show up in your life to give you pain, suffering and sadness. If however, you think about joy, health and wealth these things will also show up for you as well. What it all comes down to in the end is you are the creator of your life, and you can create it the way you want it to be…Now there’s a secret worth sharing!

Many people do not know Allah. This series (1-61) is an attempt to help them to know their Creator.

Verses 7:119-124 of the Noble Quran talk about: 1) the Egyptian sorcerers prostrated to Allah; for they knew the Truth and we Believe in Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, 2) Pharaoh Thought That He is the Lord of the Worlds, 3) Was There any Plot Between the Egyptian Sorcerers and Moses as Pharaoh Claimed?, 4) Pharaoh Cut off the Hands and the Feet of the Egyptian Sorcerers and 5) He Threatened to Crucify all of them

============

In the previous articles (58-60)

Moses said: O Pharaoh! I am a messenger from Allah to you,

Pharaoh said: You are lying!

Moses said: when talking about to Allah it is compulsory to say the truth. Truly I have come to you with a clear signs from Allah.

Pharaoh Said: If you have come with a sign, then produce it.

Then Moses cast down, he flung down his staff and it was an enormous huge snake manifest for all to see,

And he drew forth his hand, he took it out from his bosom (armpit), and it was white, radiant and shining for the beholders.

The chiefs of Pharaoh’s council said: Lo! this is some knowing wizard who is proficient in wizardry. Surely this man is a cunning sorcerer, outstanding in the art of magic. The aim of this man (Moses) is to expel you from your land of Egypt. This was not true, the aim of Moses was to take the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Then Pharaoh said:

Now what do you advise? What we should do concerning this matter?

They said unto Pharaoh:

We should bring every cunning sorcerer, who is proficient in wizardry to outdo Moses in the art of magic. And so they summoned many of the knowing wizards.

And the sorcerers who were 70 in number came to Pharaoh, and they said: Surely there will be a great reward for us if we are victors against Moses.

Pharaoh answered: Yes of course you have that, and surely you shall be of those brought near to me in status.

The Egyptian sorcerers threw 70 staffs and 70 ropes, they cast a spell upon the people’s eyes, and overawed them scared them, and produced a mighty spell; they put a spell upon the people’s eyes, misleading them from perceiving the real state of these ropes and staffs, and overawed them, scared them, by making their ropes appear to be slithering snakes, and produced a mighty sorcery.

Allah inspired Moses (saying): Throw your staff! And he threw it. And lo! it swallowed up their lying show, their staffs and ropes. Then what?

————

The meaning of verse 7:119

The Egyptian sorcerers, as well as Pharaoh and his folk, were defeated, humiliated and ended up abased. Moses was victorious against them.

The Egyptian sorcerers realized that Moses was right and that they are evil doers.

The meaning of verse 7:120

And the Egyptian sorcerers fell down prostrate to Allah; for they realized that what they had witnessed of the staff could not be done through sorcery.

The meaning of verse 7:121

The Egyptian sorcerers cried and said: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds.

Pharaoh said: are you referring to me?

The meaning of verse 7:122

The Egyptian sorcerers said: The Lord of Moses and Aaron,

The meaning of verse 7:123

Pharaoh get very angry at them.

Pharaoh said:

You believe in the Lord of Moses and Aaron before I give you leave, before I command you to do so!

Lo! this is the plot that you have plotted in the city between you and Moses; that you may expel its people from it by means of guile.

Then Pharaoh threatened them and said:

But you shall come to know, what I will do to you!

The meaning of verse 7:124

Pharaoh said:

I shall assuredly have your hands and feet cut off on opposite sides, that is, the right hand and the left foot of every one, then I shall have every one of you crucified; I shall crucify you every one. This was the punishment for anyone who does not believe that Pharaoh is the Lord of the Worlds!

Acharya S asked:


With the astounding success of the movie “Zeitgeist,” there has been a great deal of interest in the Egyptian god Horus. In that movie, which purportedly has been viewed some 100 million times, there were several comparisons between the lives of Horus and Jesus Christ. How true are these comparisons?

As it turns out, they are true for the most part, because they represent mythical motifs, not “history.” And this mythology is largely based on the movements of the sun and other natural phenomena. One of the claims in the movie that draws a large amount of attention is that Horus was “crucified.” Is this claim true?

If you are thinking that it means Horus was killed by crucifixion, being thrown down to the ground and nailed to a cross, then the claim is wrong. But if you understand that “crucify” can simply mean “to affix to a cross,” then the claim is correct, because Horus was both associated with and identified as a cross in ancient times. He was also placed on the cross of the vernal equinox, between two “thieves,” no less! That would make his story even more like that of Jesus Christ, who purportedly lived after these myths were created.

In the first place, it is important to know that the cross in a wide variety of forms, including the ones we usually think of as being “Christian,” was very popular for many centuries before the Christian or common era. The cross can be found on many artifacts in several cultures around the world dating back thousands of years. There are even ancient artifacts with people wearing crosses around their necks, just like we see in Christianity today! Other artifacts such as ossuary urns used to hold the bones of the deceased were marked with crosses centuries before the cross became important in Christianity. The cross in Egypt – the ankh – was a very sacred symbol of eternal life that can be found on countless artifacts. The Egyptians were a very religious people, and they took their faith as seriously as people do today. It is estimated that over the thousands of years during which the Egyptian religion was popular there were at least 500 million worshipers – that’s a half a billion people!

Secondly, we have many artifacts from the ancient world showing gods and goddesses with their arms outstretched in a cross shape, which is called “cruciform.” These figures from religion and mythology, which include the Greek god Prometheus and the Greek princess Andromeda, could be said – and have been said – to have been “crucified.”

The fact is that the cross was a very popular symbol long before the Christian era and that Horus was one of many pre-Christian gods and goddesses who are depicted on a cross or in cruciform. These facts mean that Jesus Christ’s placement on the cross is not unique in religious and mythological iconography. Although it has been written about many times over the past centuries, this history has not been extensively taught in schools or made available through mainstream publications such as textbooks.

For more on this subject, see my article “Was Horus Crucified?”

Jackrace asked:




Otzi the Iceman is well naturally preserved mummy of a man. The man who was been captured in Ice was believed to be over 53 centuries old (3300 BC).

How the mummy was found:

The mummy was found by Helmut and Erika Simon a German couple who were hiking the Oetzal Alps on 19th Sep’91. At first the couple thought that it was some mountain climber’s mummified remains, but they finally decided to take a photo and report the incident to a nearby lodge caretaker, Markus Pirpamer. He in turn informed the respective authorities.

Discovery of true age:

The body was harshly removed from the ice by some ignorant local authorities, which caused some damages to the mummy. It was taken to a morgue in Innsbruck. Since then it has been in display in South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy.

Tattoos, Clothes, Equipments:

Otzi was considered to have 57 carbon tattoos in his lower spine, behind his knee and right ankle. All the tattoos were of simple dots and lines. The tattoos were located near acupuncture points. Some scientists believe that these are ancient type of acupuncture and were used to treat otzi for some of the diseases he was suffering from. His clothes were highly sophisticated. He was wearing

A Poncho A bear fur cap tied with two leather straps Cloak made of woven grass Loincloth Pair of leggings Belt Equipments found: Copper axe with yew handle Flint knife with ash handle Cause of death:

At first it was believed that Otzi would have died due to a heavy winter storm. But X-rays, CT scan revealed that an arrowhead has wedged in one of his shoulder when he died. It was alleged that Otzi must have been a victim of a ritual sacrifice. The theory was inspired by other discoveries such as Tollund Man and Lindow Man. He would have suffered unusual blood loss with no treatment available. He also had several cuts in hands, wrist and chest.

Otzi’s Curse:

Influenced by the “Curse of Pharaohs” it was believed that Otzi mummy was cursed. The claim is that the deaths of some main people connected to the discovery and examination of Otzi have died under mystifying conditions. This includes the

Rainer Henn – was on the way to present new findings of the remains. “Head collision car accident.”

Kurt Fritz – guided Dr.Henn to the location of Oetzi, Died in a avalanche shortly after that.

Rainer Hölz – created an hour long documentary of Otzi. Died of a brain tumor few months later.

Helmut Simon – discoverer, went for a walk disappeared and was found dead 8 days later.

Tom Loy – ground breaking DNA analysis on the corpse, died of blood clot.
