You can refer to the book Food and Feast in Ancient Egypt. Egypt's Smell of the Wind Festival originated from the Pharaoh's period in ancient Egypt before 2700 BC, and it is one of the oldest festivals that still have vitality in the world today. In the Pharaoh's time, Wen Feng Festival was a festival for the ancient Egyptians to celebrate the arrival of spring, so they also called it Spring Festival. According to the change of solar terms, the ancient Egyptians chose the vernal equinox as the wind festival, which was considered as the birth day of the world. Wenfeng Festival became a formal festival in the late third dynasty of ancient Egypt. At that time, it was called Shamo, which meant that everything was revived. Later, it evolved into shamm (smell) and nessim (breeze) and became Sham el-Nessim. The olfactory festival is not fixed every year, usually from late March to April, on the second day of Easter. On this day, Egypt has a national holiday, and hiking and picnicking are the main contents of the festival. There are five characteristics of food in the Spring Festival in Egypt: eggs, fish with pickled vegetables, green onions, lettuce and Holmes beans. /Travel/20106/201062915235515.shtml The main clothing material in ancient Egypt is linen fabric, which is very beautiful and can even have the effect of cicada yarn and silk. There are also a few Egyptians who wear wool and fur coats. High-quality leather is also one of the materials in Egypt, and military uniforms have long used leather to protect themselves. By 1 century BC, cotton cloth and silk were introduced into Egypt. Ancient Egyptians often used light-colored fabrics with white clothes, which had an elegant effect. Many bright colors are boldly used in the edge decoration and decoration of clothes, and they are also very harmonious with their wigs. Its decorative materials are all kinds of gems, enamel, glazed pottery and gold. Patterns include geometric patterns, animals and plants, and patterns with specific meanings. The costume composition in ancient Egypt was extremely simple. There are rope clothing straps, pleated waist cloth, non-pleated tubular tight dress tunic, loose dress Karas Lisi, shawl cloak, skirt, robe, etc. The decorative means on Egyptian clothes are extremely rich. Women's tubular tight-fitting dresses and shawls are richer than men in color, pattern and decoration. The burial custom of ancient Egypt-Mummy Mummy is a well-preserved corpse after special treatment. In more than 3000 years, many changes have taken place in the way ancient Egyptians made mummies. However, most scholars and experts believe that the anti-corrosion method reached its peak around 10 century BC. At that time, the first-class embalmers gathered together to make mummies according to the following steps: first, a 10 cm long incision was made on the left side of the abdomen of the corpse with a flint knife, and all the internal organs except the heart were taken out from the incision (the embalmer and his customers thought that the heart was the root of feelings), and they were washed one by one with wine and spices containing myrrh and cinnamon. The embalmer also washed the abdominal cavity of the corpse with aromatic asphalt to decompose the remaining soft tissue, and then prepared to remove the brain. He used a hooked tool to penetrate into the skull from the nostril of the deceased, hooked off the brain marrow inside, and then poured aromatic asphalt and spices to rush out the residual tissue in the skull. After every part of the body was thoroughly cleaned, the embalmer buried all organs and corpses in a pile of powder soaked in alkali (a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) to drain water. Bodies and organs should be buried in alkaline powder for about a month. After taking out, each part should be washed with perfume and spices. Every step of embalming the corpse from beginning to end, the embalming personnel must be serious, such as wrapping every finger of the corpse from the beginning to avoid nail damage or falling off. Then, the antiseptic wrapped the dry viscera one by one with linen, put them back into the abdominal cavity (or put them in a clay pot or gypsum pot alone) and filled the abdominal cavity with fillers such as sawdust, linen, tar or mud. After filling, the incision will be stitched immediately. Because soaking alkali has damaged some hair, it is necessary to repair some wigs and braid them with real hair that has not been taken off; I also need an artificial eye in my eye socket. At this time, the remaining work is to restore the appearance of the body, which is also the most time-consuming, because it is not easy to restore the withered body to its original appearance. During this ancient plastic surgery, the embalmer carefully cut many tiny incisions in various parts of the body and filled the skin with linen fillers shaped according to the body contour, just like plastic surgeons injected silicone into the living in the 20th century. Even the face and neck of the corpse are as good as before, and the mouth is stuffed with linen to make the cheeks full. Finally, the antiseptic also acts as a makeup artist, using a colored clay called ochre to color the face and even the whole body of the deceased (the male deceased is dyed red and the female deceased is dyed yellow). You can wrap your body after dyeing. The embalmer wrapped the limbs of the corpse layer by layer with linen cloth coated with rosin, then wrapped the head and trunk, and finally wrapped the whole body. This parcel is slow and time-consuming. Now several mummies have been untied, and the total length of the cloth is more than two kilometers! The embalmer wrapped the body and made it into a mummy, which took about 70 days before and after. Follow the embalmer to return the mummy to undertaker. By this time, undertaker had probably prepared another human coffin to hold the mummy and built a grave. The whole mummification process is expensive, except for various drugs, spices, evil spirits, amulets and so on. , only wrapped in a corpse, sometimes with 1000 meters of high quality linen. Therefore, only kings, royalty, nobles and the rich can afford it, and the poor can only be simple and even sloppy. Herodotus talked about two other cheaper mummification methods. Although it is difficult to ensure physical integrity, it can give spiritual comfort to the poor. Moreover, perhaps it is because of these cheap mummification methods that the tradition of mummification can be spread and continued. It was not until the 4th century AD that Christianity ruled Egypt that the custom of mummies was abolished. There was a group of people in ancient Egypt who made mummies as their profession. They have mastered this technology and passed it on from generation to generation. In ancient Egypt, mummification and related necessities undoubtedly formed a very important and large-scale industrial system. The existence of this industry shows that ancient Egyptians have mastered scientific knowledge in physics, chemistry and medicine. The sodium oxide they used as a desiccant was a mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, salt and sodium sulfide according to modern scientific analysis, indicating that the chemical action of these substances was known at that time. There are many such religious festivals in Egypt, almost every four or five days. Every temple has a calendar, which records the festivals of the temple in a year. For example, the manuscript of Tuthmus III in the festival hall of Karnak Temple in Thebes recorded 54 festivals every year, while Medinet Habu of Ramses III recorded 60 festivals. Generally speaking, religious festivals in ancient Egypt can be divided into three categories: one is related to seasons, such as the Nile flooding and plant growth; One is related to the Pharaoh, such as the coronation of Pharaoh and the 30th anniversary of his accession to the throne. The third category is mainly formed according to the activities of gods in mythology. /bbs/viewthread.php？ tid= 1 13
