Ancient Egypt-food-hygiene-dance-with-children-snujs

The Egyptians liked to eat well, but they left us no manual cooking among his papyrus. Through the representations of the paintings and reliefs, some information could be obtained by Egyptologists, not only about the food consumed, but also in its preparation. Beef cattle or poultry, fish, vegetables and fruits were part of meals that time. The bakery had strong presence at the table and between alcoholic beer was preferred. Using knives, spoons and forks, or just eating with their hands, the Egyptians had a rich and healthy food.
Honey bees can last virtually forever, when well maintained. In the vaults of ancient Egypt, where food was left to honor the dead, was found honey still edible.

Being a very clean people, the ancient Egyptians cared enough for their personal hygiene and their clothing. Washed several times a day, just when it is raised in the morning, either before or after the main meals. Clear toenails, mouthwash and hair care, were part of daily occupations with the body. Makeup occupied a considerable part of such occupations, both for women as for men. Cosmetics, ornaments for the head and the props were outstanding role in the appearance of Egyptian women. All dressed up, usually with linens that had always clean and in perfect condition
You know, for example, that in Ancient Egypt, women dyed their nails, and at that time enamels were made of gum arabic, egg white, gelatin and beeswax?
Yeah ... and worse, the drying was slow and the film that formed on the nail absorbing dust and out with ease ...
The color, in principle, was black and the base of henna. Over time, it became clearer and with shades of brown. Thus, the colors of enamel started to indicate the person's social class: the bright colors were worn by women of lower classes and intense tones, the nobility

In ancient Egypt, the dancers used to snap my fingers to keep pace with the music.
This custom has evolved with the use of small metal instruments called snujs or Sagats.
This dance praising the Goddess who brought fertility to the earth. The snujs were touched to ward off evil spirits. The dancer blesses and purifies the environment where you are, through the melody played.
Symbols metal source prior to the castanets. Suitable for upbeat songs with rhythms or accelerated flowery and well marked.

criancaegipcia. The tenderness the child is a constant feature and lovely Egyptian civilization throughout its history. Egyptian art has always used the theme of childhood and the world that surrounds it. There are also several texts evoking the joys of this period of life and reminding others that the mission of parents brings more satisfaction than disappointment. The children were highly desired by the Egyptians because, as they were practical, saw in them a means of preserving the rites of the funeral service, which were essential to the continuity of life after death. Thus, the desire to have children, especially a male, was widespread and resulted in large families. The little Egyptian linked closely to the animals that surrounded them: goats, geese, ducks, pigeons, cats and dogs. The small monkeys, who frequented the homes since the Old Kingdom, were also his playmate. To play the children used pieces of household objects. The archaeologist Christiane Noblecourt account that was found in excavations eternal animal silhouette shaped from wood and mounted on wheels, it was enough to pull a cord, and pairs of miniature terracotta imitating the crew of the Pharaoh, whose subjects were replaced by monkeys! A wooden doll with movable limbs also existed, at least in low season. The moment that the child could no longer walk naked, when perhaps it should coincide with the entry into the school, the boy got a kind of go out and a belt and the girl received a dress. This was a remarkable day in early life and was marked forever in memory, as evidenced by the old courtiers did not forget to write it received the belt in the reign of a particular pharaoh. It was then that the boys began to be oriented

The child first learned to read and write. Since the papyrus was an expensive material to be wasted, students were initially for their workout cards, well polished limestone on which were scratched lines or squares. At Thebes the material was even more crude: pieces of stone roughly hewn. These were the workbooks and notebooks of the day-to-day Egyptian children. The training consisted in tracing individual signals or signs cursive hieroglyphs and also small drawings, copied from various sources. Some studies had dates. As the material used was inexpensive, the student could spoil it at home and only after much training was promoted to the student. Thereafter he was allowed to copy a good papyrus intact, not just a stretch, but a complete work.

Education is not only to the study of grammar and writing, knowledge of classical texts, stories of divine, a little drawing. Egyptian officials were extremely varied occupations and passed, with an amazing ease, from one service to another.

It was therefore necessary that students be initiated in the knowledge of laws and regulations, History, Geography and the main techniques. There would be competitions and qualifications? We are tempted to think so, seeing the questions that the scribe Hori makes one of his own brethren who like to catch missing: What diet have troops in the campaign? How many bricks are needed to build a ramp of certain dimensions? How many men does it take to transport an obelisk? How to build a colossus? How to organize a military expedition? And finally, questions of all kinds about the geography of Egito. These questions we can see a full program of studies.

Antiguo Egipto-higiene alimentaria-dance-con-hijos-snujs Los egipcios le gustaba comer bien, pero no nos dejó manual de cocina entre sus papiros. A través de las representaciones de las pinturas y relieves, alguna información puede ser obtenida por los egiptólogos, no sólo sobre los alimentos que consume, sino también en su preparación. El ganado de carne o de aves de corral, pescado, verduras y frutas son parte de las comidas ese momento. La panadería había una fuerte presencia en la mesa y entre las cervezas sin alcohol se haya preferido. El uso de cuchillos, cucharas y tenedores, o simplemente comer con las manos, los egipcios tenían una alimentación rica y saludable. Las abejas pueden durar prácticamente para siempre, cuando está bien gestionada. En las bóvedas del antiguo Egipto, donde los alimentos se dejó de honrar a los muertos, se encontró miel todavía comestible.

Siendo un pueblo muy limpio, los antiguos egipcios se preocupó lo suficiente para su higiene personal y la ropa. Varias veces lavados al día, justo cuando se levanta en la mañana, ya sea antes o después de las comidas principales. Uñas de los pies abierto, enjuague bucal y el cuidado del cabello, fueron parte de las ocupaciones diarias con el cuerpo. Maquillaje ocupado una parte considerable de las ocupaciones, tanto para mujeres como para hombres. Cosméticos, adornos para la cabeza y la utilería fueron papel destacado en la aparición de las mujeres egipcias. Todos los vestidos, generalmente con ropa de cama que siempre limpios y en perfecto estado
Usted sabe, por ejemplo, que en el antiguo Egipto, las mujeres teñidas de sus uñas y esmaltes en ese tiempo eran de goma árabe, clara de huevo, gelatina y cera de abejas?
Yeah ... y peor aún, el secado es lento y la película que se formó en el clavo de absorción de polvo y con la mayor comodidad ...
El color, en principio, era negro y la base de henna. Con el tiempo, se hizo más clara y con tonos de marrón. Así, los colores de esmalte comenzó a indicar la clase social de la persona: los colores brillantes fueron usados por las mujeres de las clases bajas y los tonos intensos, la nobleza
En el antiguo Egipto, los bailarines utilizan para chasquear los dedos para mantener el ritmo de la música.
Esta costumbre ha evolucionado con el uso de instrumentos de metal pequeño llamado snujs o SAGATS.
Esta danza alabando la diosa que trajo la fertilidad a la tierra. El snujs fueron tocados para alejar los malos espíritus. El bailarín bendice y purifica el ambiente donde está, a través de la melodía.
Símbolos de la fuente de metal antes de las castañuelas. Adecuado para las canciones optimistas con ritmos acelerados o florido y bien marcadas.

La ternura del niño es una característica constante y la civilización egipcia hermosa en toda su historia. El arte egipcio siempre ha utilizado el tema de la infancia y el mundo que lo rodea. También hay varios textos que evocan las alegrías de este período de la vida y recordando a otros que la misión de los padres trae más satisfacción que desilusión. Los niños estaban muy deseada por los egipcios, porque, como se practica, vieron en ellos un medio de preservar los ritos del funeral, que son esenciales para la continuidad de la vida después de la muerte. Así pues, el deseo de tener hijos, sobre todo un hombre, se extendió y dio lugar a familias numerosas.
El pequeño egipcia, estrechamente vinculado a los animales que los rodeaban: cabras, gansos, patos, palomas, gatos y perros. Los monos pequeños, que frecuentaban la casa desde el Imperio Antiguo, también su compañero de juegos. Para jugar a los menores que utilizan piezas de objetos del hogar. La cuenta arqueóloga Christiane Noblecourt que fue encontrado en excavaciones en forma de silueta de animales eterna de la madera y montada sobre ruedas, fue suficiente para tirar de un cordón, y los pares de terracota en miniatura imitación de la tripulación del faraón, cuyos temas fueron sustituidos por monos! Un muñeco de madera con extremidades móviles también existió, al menos en temporada baja.

En el momento en que el niño ya no podía caminar desnudo, cuando tal vez debería coincidir con la entrada en la escuela, el chico se encontraba en una especie de salir y un cinturón y la niña recibió un vestido. Este fue un día memorable en la vida temprana y se ha caracterizado siempre en la memoria, como lo demuestran los cortesanos de edad no se olvide de escribir que recibió el cinturón en el reinado de un faraón en particular. Fue entonces cuando los chicos empezaron a orientarse

El primer niño aprendió a leer y escribir. Dado que el papiro era un material caro para ser desperdiciado, los estudiantes fueron inicialmente para sus tarjetas de entrenamiento, piedra caliza y pulida en la que se marcaron las líneas o cuadros. En Tebas, el material era aún más crudo: piezas de piedra toscamente. Estos fueron los libros y cuadernos del día a día los niños egipcios. La capacitación consistió en la localización de señales individuales o signos jeroglíficos cursiva y también pequeños dibujos, copiados de diversas fuentes. Algunos estudios habían fechas. Como el material utilizado era barato, el estudiante podría echar a perder en casa y sólo después de mucho entrenamiento fue promovido a la estudiante. A partir de entonces se le permitió copiar un papiro intacta bien, no sólo un tramo, sino una obra completa.

La educación no es sólo para el estudio de la gramática y la escritura, el conocimiento de los textos clásicos, las historias de lo divino, un pequeño dibujo. Funcionarios egipcios fueron muy diversas ocupaciones y pasado, con una facilidad asombrosa, de un servicio a otro.

Por lo tanto, necesario que los alumnos se iniciarán en el conocimiento de las leyes y reglamentos, Historia, Geografía y las principales técnicas. Habrá concursos y calificaciones? Nos sentimos tentados a pensar así, ya las preguntas que el escriba Hori hace uno de sus propios hermanos que gustan de las capturas que faltan: ¿Qué dieta tienen tropas en la campaña? ¿Cuántos ladrillos se necesitan para construir una rampa de determinadas dimensiones? ¿Cuántos hombres se necesitan para transportar un obelisco? ¿Cómo construir un coloso? Cómo organizar una expedición militar? Y, finalmente, preguntas de todo tipo sobre la geografía de Egito. Estas preguntas se puede ver un programa completo de estudios.

Makeup for eyes in ancient Egypt had medicinal properties
In addition to its aesthetic virtues, the eye makeup in ancient Egypt had medicinal properties, just as elucidate French chemists.
4,000 years ago, the Egyptians mixed often lead to makeup for the eyes. At that time, the Greek and Roman physicians claimed that this metal was beneficial for the eyes
Nowadays, lead is known to be a potentially toxic metal.
To better understand this use of lead as a cosmetic, a team of researchers coordinated by Christian Amatore assessed the impact of a small quantity of lead in a skin cell.
The researchers found that in tiny doses, lead does not kill the cell. Induces the production in the body of a molecule, nitric oxide, known to activate the immune system.
Therefore, the application of makeup to lead can cause a defense mechanism that, in case of eye infections, limit the proliferation of bacteria.
The study coordinated by Amatore was published early on Thursday in the online edition of the journal Analytical Chemistry January 15.

For the demonstration, researchers used laurionita, a chloride of lead is among the salts synthesized by the Egyptians of that time, to observe its action in a cell isolated from the skin with the help of ultramicroelectrodes, a modern miniaturized electrochemical tool that lets you analyze signals very weaknesses issued by a single cell.
After putting very small amounts of solution in laurionita skin cell, the researchers observed an overproduction of tens of thousands of molecules of nitrogen (NO). The nitrogen acts as a messenger of the immune system by stimulating the arrival of macrophages, cells that act as scavengers of the body by eating live bacteria and miscellaneous debris.
So, instead of being toxic, the tiny amount of lead mixed with makeup protecting the eyes of bacterial infections, the study said.

Maquiagem para olhos no Antigo Egito tinha virtudes medicinais
Além de suas virtudes estéticas, a maquiagem para os olhos no Antigo Egito tinha propriedades medicinais, como acabam de elucidar químicos franceses.
Há 4.000 anos, os egípcios misturavam frequentemente chumbo à maquiagem para os olhos. Naquela época, os médicos gregos e romanos afirmavam que este metal era benéfico para os olhos
Hoje em dia, o chumbo é mais conhecido por ser um metal potencialmente tóxico.
Para entender melhor este uso do chumbo como cosmético, a equipe de pesquisadores coordenada por Christian Amatore avaliou o impacto de uma escassa quantidade de chumbo em uma célula da pele.
Os pesquisadores constataram que em doses ínfimas, o chumbo não mata a célula. Induz a produção no organismo de uma molécula, o monóxido de azoto, conhecida por ativar o sistema imunológico.
Assim sendo, a aplicação desta maquiagem com chumbo pode provocar um mecanismo de defesa que, em caso de infecção dos olhos, limita a proliferação das bactérias.
O estudo coordenado por Amatore foi publicado antecipadamente nesta quinta-feira na edição online da revista especializada Analytical Chemistry do dia 15 de janeiro.

Para a demonstração, os pesquisadores utilizaram laurionita, um cloreto de chumbo que está entre os sais sintetizados pelos egípcios daquela época, para observar sua ação em uma célula isolada da pele com a ajuda de ultramicroeletrodos, uma ferramenta eletroquímica moderna miniaturizada que permite analisar sinais muito fracos emitidos por uma única célula.
Após colocar ínfimas quantidades de solução de laurionita na célula de pele, os pesquisadores observaram uma superprodução de dezenas de milhares de moléculas de azoto (NO). O azoto intervém como mensageiro do sistema imunitário ao estimular a chegada de macrófagos, células que atuam como limpadores do organismo ao ingerir bactérias vivas e resíduos diversos.
Assim, em vez de ser tóxica, a ínfima quantidade de chumbo misturada à maquiagem protegia os olhos de infecções bacterianas, segundo o estudo.

On the other side of the Mediterranean, some thousand years after the Neanderthal, Cleopatra, Ptolemaic Egyptian ruler, was also quite fond of make-up. A joint French study by the Louvre museum and the CNRS, a national research centre, showed that in addition to being a sight for sore eyes, Cleopatra’s make-up was quite literally good for the eyes.

Cleopatra is often depicted in popular culture as having a heavy hand when it came to applying eye make-up. The French study showed that her black make-up was an effective protection against eye infections thanks to the presence of lead salts. When used at low levels, those salts “produce nitric oxide, which boosts the immune system to fight off bacteria which can cause eye infection.”

Scientists and archaeologists already knew that make-up had medicinal properties. Philippe Walter, who lead the research, told the BBC that his aim was “to determine exactly how”.

To do so, they used the good old experimenting method of recreating the make-up Cleopatra would have used. They then “used a tiny electrode, 1/10th the thickness of a human hair, to look at the effect of lead chloride salt synthesised by the Egyptians - laurionite - on a single cell”.

Ancient Egyptian make-up was protective on two counts: medical, as shown by Walter and team, but also holistic. Dynasty after dynasty, Egyptian eye make-up was made up of udju (green malachite) and mesdemet (dark grey stibnite or galena, now known as kohl). Galena has long been thought to protect against the sun, an invaluable property when you live in Egypt. Even more importantly, the application of of eye make-up can be compared to a religious ritual since it was meant to protect against the Evil Eye.

Cleópatra é geralmente retratada na cultura popular como tendo uma mão pesada quando se trata de aplicar eye make-up. O estudo francês mostrou que o seu preto make-up foi uma protecção eficaz contra as infecções dos olhos, graças à presença de sais de chumbo. Quando usado em níveis baixos, os sais "produzir o óxido nítrico, que estimula o sistema imunológico para combater as bactérias que podem causar infecção ocular."

Os cientistas e arqueólogos já sabiam que a maquiagem tinha propriedades medicinais. Philippe Walter, que lideram a pesquisa, disse à BBC que seu objetivo era "para determinar exatamente como".

Para fazer isso, eles usaram o bom e velho método de experimentação de recriar o make-up Cleópatra teria usado. Em seguida, "usou um eletrodo minúsculo, 1/10th a espessura de um cabelo humano, ao olhar para o efeito do sal cloreto de chumbo sintetizada pelos egípcios - laurionite - em uma única célula".

Ancient Egyptian make-up foi de protecção em dois aspectos: médicos, como mostrado por Walter e equipe, mas também global. Dynasty após a dinastia, o olho egípcio make-up era composto por udju malaquita (verde) e mesdemet (stibnite cinza escuro ou galena, agora conhecido como Kohl). Galena tem sido pensado para proteger contra o sol, uma propriedade de valor inestimável quando você vive no Egito. Ainda mais importante, a aplicação dos olhos de make-up pode ser comparado a um ritual religioso, uma vez que foi concebido para proteger contra o mau-olhado.
