Ancient Egyptian Beauty: The 3,000-Year-Old Secrets of Lady Touti | Full History Documentary

#ancientegypt #archeology #beautysecrets

Starting from a simple pot of ointments, a reed filled with balm, and a stylus, French and Egyptian researchers have successfully pierced the mysteries of the beauty of an aristocrat who died 3,000 years ago: Lady Touti.

Step by step, scientists have identified the raw materials and traced the ancient trade routes they once traveled. By decomposing these chemical mixtures, they have rediscovered the exact colors and scents of the past. From the restoration of temples to the decryption of recipes on millenary bas-reliefs, this film offers a unique scientific journey into the sacred beauty rituals of Ancient Egypt.
